The Next Generation of Content Marketing with AJ Huisman and Scott Monty

21m · Marketer-to-Marketer - #M2M · 23 Apr 12:25

Have you ever sat down and watched how your children or grandchildren consume content? What is their favorite type to use for entertainment? What about education? If you are seeing what I am seeing, the results are detrimental compared to the types of content we are creating today.
You see, text-based long-form content drives most Content Marketing efforts. This is the same type of content we used in the late 90s and early 00s when we were establishing web technologies because we were not able to do anything else at scale.
Today, we can stream rich-media entertainment and interactive educational content all over the world, to many diverse audiences, and yet we chose to launch a blog rather than a hub for blended content.
Then, what about the tools we use. Do you consistently fight with your IT teams to strive to get the latest and greatest CMS or CRM systems to make sure you can leverage all the new AI tools for increasing engagement? Are all your systems connected and sharing data? Likely, your IT team dictates the adoptions curve, or the heavy reliance on high-priced agencies doesn’t allow you to take advantage of the full toolset you have purchased, let alone the latest version.
AJ nailed the problem when he asked the questions, “Are marketers educated in a way that looks forward instead of backward?” and “Are the new marketers the hybrid marketers we have heard about?”
In this episode, Scott Monty and AJ Huisman join forces to discuss the future technologies that will disrupt Content Marketing and how marketers today can embrace the scary aspects to win.
Scott drives to key point, “You must be able to look back to predict the future!” It is not all about knowing what technologies, tools, and tactics are the hottest, but the trajectory of the business landscape and history to see the directions and momentum they have.

Content Marketing World and Things with Joe Pulizzi, Leah Hammes, Demian Ross, and Melanie Deziel

Have you ever sat on the Content Marketing World website, reviewing the sessions and speakers, but find yourself not sure if you should go? Maybe you are unsure how you will convince your boss that this is the event for you.
Before our first Content Marketing World, we were unsure if the value would be there as well because it is not like any other event. It looks like it would be more about fun, than education. All the photos are orange, people are smiling and having a great time, and their keynoters are famous actors and actresses, writers, and influencers we all know. That has to be a place where “business people” go to get away from their families and work, and just have a vacation.
However, the event is an amazing mix of education, networking, and fun. Since we started attending this event, we have been back every year and already have our tickets for 2019!
On this episode of Marketer-to-Marketer, Joe Pulizzi, Leah Hammes, Demian Ross, and Melanie Deziel chat about their Content Marketing World experiences.

The State of Content Marketing with Andy Crestodina, Doug Kessler, Heidi Cohen, and Joe Cox

What is the next big thing in the boundless world of content marketing? Where do we go from here?
Marketing is moving towards interactive vs. interruptive content. Intelligence over aggression is becoming the standard for our ever more discerning customers. It can be easy to get lost in creating vanity content, but sometimes a back to the basics approach, adapted to new media, leads to increased ROI. Going beyond text in your content marketing does not mean you can lose sight of your mission: to provide the consumer with brand building material. We must adapt to the ever evolving climate while sticking to what works.
There seem to be two camps formed in content marketing: "home run hitters", and "10% optimizers". While both will flow money to the bottom line: not all marketers are multi-faceted. Splintering of techniques will give you a myriad of content to present to your clients. While your corporate identity and compass should be cohesive, fluidity within that structure is paramount.
As your brand grows, a community forms around your brilliance. Your clients become megaphones for content that radiates confidence. It is not the best content that wins: it is the best promoted that will take the day.
The premier agencies have a top-down expectation of creative excellence coupled with a willingness to fail. The merging of "small concept" optimization and "big-idea" confidence will grow your business. Content marketing shaped the landscape in which we work today. What was once niche is now the mainstream, yet there are still some tried and true methods that work. Encouraging creative agility in your teams will never fail you. Build a pervasive culture of passion.
On this episode of Marketing to Marketer, Joe Cox, Doug Kessler, Andy Crestodina, and Heidi Cohen get together at the Content Marketing World conference to discuss evolution in the industry.

Being Known for Your Niche with Melanie Deziel and Jay Acunzo

What happens when Content Marketing works? We are not talking about just getting subscribers, but truly being known as one of the best resources in the world for your niche.
Everything you dreamed of will come true, right? Your business will get so many leads you will see rapid growth, you get invited to speak at industry conferences all the time, and you have more flexibility to create content the way you want. It really can be great, but there are issues.
Sometimes the thing you are known for becomes something not to be known for anymore. Maybe it isn’t great to be known as the Direct Marketing gal anymore and you want to pivot.
In this episode, Melanie Deziel, the Native Advertising gal, and Jay Acunzo, the Podcast guy, join the show to talk about the evolution of their brands and the ways they have included frequent pivots to ensure they are not isolated into a single bucket during their growth as content creators.

This has been an excellent season and we are looking forward to launching more shows in this season soon.
