Should be an easy sell…Strategy = Success
“B2B Marketers with a content marketing strategy are nearly 300 percent more likely to be effective”
-Joe Pulizzi, Founder CMI | 8 shocking content marketing research facts

Yet there is a gap.

Only 15% have a REAL strategy! That’s a big gap.
“The other scary part here is that this is likely an inflated number to begin with. Based on my experience in working with B2B businesses, I believe the real number is closer to being below 15 percent. The difference: Most marketers don’t know what a content marketing strategy looks like (yet), let alone how to document it for better use across the enterprise.” -Joe Pulizzi, Founder | Content Marketing Institute

Difficult to find examples and difficult to obtain
Can’t find examples.
Most information is “how to create one”, leaving the heavy lifting to the marketer.
Those that do sell strategy can’t articulate what it will look like or how it can be implemented.
