Businesses of all shapes and sizes are engaging with core audiences through content creation and distribution. Blog posts (like this one), email and social media are just a few of the channels that have become commonplace to share quick tips, product insights and company messages.
In fact, according to a 2015 B2B content marketing trends report conducted by the Content Marketing Institute (@CMIContent) and MarketingProfs (@MarketingProfs), 70% of B2B marketers are creating more content than they did one year ago.
But while abundantly present, these initiatives are often implemented without a strategy in place.
The same study cites that 38% of B2B marketers do not have a dedicated content marketing team—or have plans to implement one any time soon—and only 21% of B2B marketers feel they are successful at tracking the success of their content marketing efforts in a key performance areas, such as:
- Increased brand awareness (for individual and/or company participants)
- Core audience education
- Customer retention
- General engagement
- Lead generation
- Sales
- Thought-leadership positioning
