Brandon Gutman Co-Founder

Content marketing is as old as the hills, however, the Internet and innovative new advertising technologies are enabling brands to use content to communicate and engage with their consumers in more exciting ways than ever. By delivering unique and compelling content and consumer experiences online and educating consumers about the things that they are passionate about, brand marketers are creating millions of “earned” media impressions and building loyalty and trust with their consumers.

Brand Innovators Content Marketing will provide brand marketers from Fortune 500 and other leading brands with an important forum to share success stories about how they are leveraging original content and digital media to reach their consumers more efficiently, emotionally, and authentically than they ever could by using traditional media. We will hear from some of the best and brightest brand marketers in America about what’s working in content marketing and the major trends on the horizon.

SUCCESS STORY

3:10 pm

PEOPLE, PARTNERSHIPS, AND PRODUCTION: THREE ROUTES TO CREATING COMPELLING CONTENT Creating content and creating good content that people actually want are two very different matters, and seasoned brand marketers know that the secret to success is in finding the right strategy dictated by broader objectives, market opportunity, and most importantly, customer needs.

Indeed, depending on those variables, three major approaches have emerged through which brand marketers can identify and develop compelling content.

Whether it’s through partnerships with existing creative organizations, working with individual people – celebrities and customers alike – or by taking on the challenge head on and producing content in-house, the key is to create something that doesn’t feel like advertising, but is informative, entertaining, or otherwise relevant to people’s lives and interests.

SUCCESS IN CONTENT MARKETING Whether it is page views or leads you are looking for, success in content marketing is a function of what you are trying to achieve. Having said that, hopefully all of your content marketing efforts lead to new customers or conversions. Like other forms of digital media, brand marketers are constantly looking for metrics to help justify their investment in content marketing. How are brands successfully measuring content marketing results? What is the ROI of content marketing vis-Ă vis other media? How can you enhance the ability of your content marketing to deliver more tangible results? Leading brand marketers share their insights.
