Maximise your quality content globally

Most companies collect and analyse their own content metrics, but the applicability of this data is usually questionable at best. The reasons are two-fold: 1) the data are acquired from  unreliable sources and are often analysed incorrectly (to suit one’s needs) and 2) internal data in isolation are meaningless unless contextualised against external market data.  The rise of using qualitative and quantitative external data is well documented in a report released earlier this month by McKinsey Technology (Harnessing the power…

Last year was about the pandemic and themes focused on ‘resilience’ and ‘business models that needed to pivot’ popped up in our content across clients and verticals. What will this year be about?

But for our B2B clients (no cheese and wine clients sadly on our list), here are themes we expect that will resonate and be useful to…

You need to know exactly what they want — and you can get there by using the right data to guide your strategy. When preparing your content strategy for the new year, if you haven’t done so already, ensure that you use data to…

Peter Bakker, Managing Director and Partner Empathy and essenceWhile many of us will try and erase the year 2020, it has deeply affected the world around us. It has stirred our human psyche and (re) ignited our more empathic qualities. This has also affected the way in which we create content — it has evolved to become more inclusive and empathetic to the audience(s) we are aiming to reach. And although some companies have greatly benefited from the economic transformation…

Let’s get this out of the way up front; white papers and e-books — not the same thing. Well, not entirely. Some elements are similar and overlap in both structure and design. The terms for the two content formats are used interchangeably often, especially by clients, who often have an idea in mind and care less about terminology and more about getting a piece of content that delivers. Rightly so!  But as content marketers, we need to keep the differences…

This incomprehension has contributed to a thriving SEO support industry, but it has equally contributed to a significant amount of fraudulent exploitation. How do brands know their SEO agency is providing them with relevant and accurate services? The simple answer is…

But at the beginning of every project is answering the question — who is your customer? Buyer persons are incredibly crucial for effective content marketing. What is content marketing, after all? Simply, it is delivering the right message to the right targeted audience. There…
