Content Marketing & Curation Becoming Important For B2C and B2B Says New Content Marketing Institute Study

Content Marketing & Curation Becoming Important For B2C and B2B Says New Content Marketing Institute Study | Lean content marketing | Scoop.it
MarketingProfs and the Content Marketing Institute (CMI) have followed up their study of B2B content marketing trends with research into the emerging trends in the B2C

Via Martin (Marty) Smith
Ally Greer's insight:

"The narrowing gap proves what most on Scoop.it already know - content marketing is THE MOST IMPORTANT MARKETING your company, brand or personal brand is doing (period, full stop)." - Marty Smith


Notable stats:

-93% of B2B marketers and 90% of B2C marketers use content marketing.


-76% of marketers claim that curated newsletters are their top content marketing tactic.


-Lack of time is the top challenge faced by both B2B and B2C content marketers.

Deanna Dahlsad's curator insight, October 15, 2013 5:00 PM

I'm still not convinced that curation is all that new or different than blogging or other online publishing activities. (Blogging is not dead.) Nor am I convinced it is the most important thing you can do in terms of marketing. (And just because "everyone is doing it" doesn't sway me either; like momma always said about if so & so jumped off a bridge...) But I don't think curation can be overlooked much longer. Curation needs to be evaluated for several major factors:


a) can it fit within your scope (Do you have the time & skill set? Can you do this in house or should you hire?)


b) purpose (to maintain existing clients/customers, to reach new ones?)


b) where would it fit? (Not all curation sites are the same; some are more suitable for products, brands, B2B or B2C reach, demographics, etc.)

While B2B marketers are beginning to adopt B2C best practices when it comes to e-commerce, B2B marketers have traditionally invested more of their budgets into content marketing than their B2C counterparts, making it interesting to see how both sides measure up in this rapidly-growing area. There are many more similarities than one might expect.

How To Create A Lean Content Blog - Gavin's Example

How To Create A Lean Content Blog - Gavin's Example | Lean content marketing | Scoop.it

Gavin McMahon (@powerfulpoint) provides a great example of @Scoopit's lean content movement. His content is visually impactful using his doodling sketches to support great notes.

His voice is deep and smart without being pedantic and overwhelming. Each piece you read locks Lego-like to another. From Gavin's example we can draw several lessons including:

* Arresting visuals are helpful.

* Arresting visuals that compliment and support text are best.
* Content that locks together like Lego blocks make the whole stronger.

* Great headlines ROCK and are beyond important.

* Find ways to end at the beginning looping back to core.

Well-done Gavin and a great example of the Lean Content Movement.
