Content marketing is an imperative.
We’ve come a long way.
200 customers
70% global enterprises
40 countries
10 languages
We’ve learned that we can boil down the objectives of all of our
customers into three simple goals:
IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY ACROSS THE
MARKETING ORGANIZATION
01
MANAGE AGAINST RISK AND COMPLIANCE WHILE ENSURING BRAND CONSISTENCY
02
INCREASE REVENUE
03 We believe marketing is a profit center not a cost center. So this one is important. Let’s break it down.

Drive greater conversion and sales
Improve brand awareness and share of voice
They’re both important.
As Content Marketers, we think of ourselves as publishers.
We’re not. The end goal is
business action, not eyeballs.
Pageviews

If you’re not creating meaningful content that drives business
results…
…you’re just contributing to the noise.
This is the problem we’re solving.
If you are a brand marketer, you’ll know if your content is generating
engagement, subscribers, or online sales
If you are a performance marketer you’ll know if your content is generating
leads, opportunities, and deals
We help you win through three simple steps:
Publish
Measure (ROI) Recommend
START BY PUBLISHING EXCEPTIONAL CONTENT
01
Marketers say creating high quality content at scale is hard.
We solve that.
MEASURE THE BUSINESS OUTCOMES
02
We already give you consumption metrics like pageviews and engagement. But it leads to deeper questions
(the 5 W’s).
Who is viewing my content? What type of content is my audience engaging with? When and for how long are they viewing it? Where is my audience viewing my content? Why are they viewing it?

How much is my content worth?
We’re solving the attribution problem for
content marketing.
COMPLETE THE FEEDBACK LOOP

By using insights to create better content. Recommendations that help you understand
what’s working, what’s not, and why
Content marketing is an imperative.
The goal isn’t to
be good at content.
The goal is to be good at business using content.
Thank you!
