“The key to epic content marketing: consistently create and share information that
packed with UTILITY, seeded with INSPIRATION, and honestly EMPATHETIC to attract
customers to you”. - Ann Handley
CONTENT = INFORMATION
Create Engaging Content.
Your Content should mean something: 30%: Share Personal Information and
Expertise
30% Share Company Information and expertise
30% Share information that is interesting and useful. Its’ OK to share from outside sources: repost good stuff!
10% Self Promotion or Selling Stuff
People enjoy connecting with people = let them get to know the people behind the agency.
WHY INFOGRAPHICS ROCK AND WHY YOU SHOULD START MAKING THEM NOW.
Demonstrate expertise on your topic
Stand out amongst less visually interesting formats
Take advantage of the fact that 90% of information enters you brain visually
Help visualize statistics for easy understanding
Often go viral – or at the very least – are readily shared
Get increased mileage when you provide the code to embed them
Encourage links back to your site to generate higher traffic
Help heighten brand awareness
