Technology Roadblock Are Holding Back Marketers - Bynder | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Data shows that companies lack the technological and organizational structure for safely and securely storing and sharing digital files — including logos, images, video, brochures, white papers, presentation decks and more.

  • Security is a concern: only 37 percent of respondents feel very confident about the security of their digital assets in how they’re being stored and shared today.
  • Employees don’t have the accessibility needed for anywhere and anytime access: Roughly 75 percent of respondents feel limited in how they can share assets internally and externally. 
  • Marketers aren’t prepared to scale and keep pace with business growth: 47 percent of respondents say their top scalability concern is maintaining brand consistency.

The Digital Crossover Between Marketing and Technology - Chiefmarketer

The Digital Crossover Between Marketing and Technology - Chiefmarketer | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Content marketing is a key discipline in today’s digital marketing. To master all of these challenges, marketing needs to reorganize itself. It needs technology, organization, oversight and control systems.

Technology. A content management system can help the marketing team manage publishing processes and make them more efficient with the use of simple user interfaces. 

Organization. Not only must processes be adapted to the new challenges, but the organization also needs to change. Classic marketing functions like strategy and creation are now supplemented with roles such as editor, writer and content manager, whose skill profiles bridge editorial work and marketing expertise.

Oversight. A coordinator oversees the right mix of paid content and owned and earned content. Owned content refers to all content that the company curates itself, be it on its own website or on its Instagram 

Control systems. Content marketing also requires continuous testing, measuring, and improvement. However, the success of content should not just be measured by its reach, but also by whether it goes viral—x% of users share it with y% of their contacts.

Why Every Organization Needs a B-to-B Content Audit | SiriusDecisions

Why Every Organization Needs a B-to-B Content Audit | SiriusDecisions | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Every b-to-b organization needs to perform a content inventory and audit. If this has not occurred within your organization or it hasn’t happened in a long time, it should be a top priority. The b-to-b content audit is often the best catalyst for tangibly demonstrating where there are issues with audience-centricity, content strategy, content quality, content quantity, content findability and all the other content issues that plague so many b-to-b organizations.

I can’t emphasize enough the importance of conducting a b-to-b content audit to fix content problems within the b-to-b organization and working toward best-practice content strategy and operations. But realistic expectations and company support are critical to success. Typically, everyone thinks it’s a great idea, but no one wants to do it, and no one wants to own it. Often, whoever is responsible for the content audit doesn’t get the cross-functional support necessary to make sense of content repositories, or understand the owners and intended audiences of specific assets and identify at what stage they should be applied to the buyer’s journey.

marissa goldberg's curator insight, November 24, 2014 1:49 PM

*Social Media* 

If you want to succeed in today's marketing world you need to be a "Content Marketing Superstar" and like the title of this article suggests, these are insights to help improve your skills.

We discuss content creation as one of the main tips for marketing on social media, but once the content is created we need to find a way to optimize the amount of people who see that content.

Strategic planning and tracking are vital to content marketing. This "Modern Marketing Blog" states that creating goals for content production will streamline the process. Just like how we created objectives in our social media campaigns so we can work towards a common goal as a team. Part of this process is measuring success so having content metrics are just as important if you want to do the best you can and strive for continuous improvement.

The contributor's second step is to have process focused work. Some points of this process include "Defined roles with responsibilities for each team member, A logical flow for each piece of content and an editorial calendar that tracks content stages." I have noticed that sites that produce tons of content like adweek.com have their own editorial calendar that plans out larger content way in advance. Being process focused creates a more productive, deadline oriented content marketer.

Without going into every single step because I recommend heading to the article and giving it a read, I think that this blog makes some very good points for someone who is looking to promote their content.

In a way he asks the marketers to wear many different hats such as, an organized leadership role, a designer, a social media marketer and a market research analyst. I think that this is a relevant article because how you market your content is just as important as the content itself.
