Reasons why (most) Content
Marketing is crap
![Page 6: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Media are transportation tubes to bring messages from A to B in order
to influence people’s opinions.
And media need content to disguise the messages.
![Page 7: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Traditional media are eroding. Their future is uncertain.
Brands are looking for alternatives to bring messages across.

@jcaudron
Exit 1: the web
“if we build it, they will come”.
Not.
(if we want them to come we still need to buy their attention …)
![Page 9: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
(even the best brands only reach a small fraction of their client base via social media.
Having clients share something remains quite a challenge, even for the best-in-class-brands)
Exit 2: Social Media
“people love us, they will share everything we say, everything will go viral”.
Not.
![Page 10: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
@jcaudron
Exit 3: Content Marketing
“Let’s create great content and everyone will want to read this”.
Not.

@jcaudron
Because we have no strategy that justifies content marketing as a tactical instrument.
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why?
“Because we want to (re)connect to our audience in a direct way in order
to influence them to buy our stuff”
Why Content Marketing is Crap.
REASON 2

it for the wrong reasons.
Why Content Marketing is

@jcaudron
It all starts with strategy
Why? (x5)
What?How?
Doing it right.
![Page 23: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
@jcaudron
Why? (x5)
What?How?
“Because we really have our reasons”
(connect to people, claim thought leadership, strengthen
loyalty, build the image, …)
![Page 24: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
@jcaudron
Why? (x5)
What?How?
Claim a content area that really makes the
difference, that can build a real and loyal audience.
You need a positioning like other traditional media-brands have.
They are now your competitor (and you might even
outlive them).
![Page 25: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
@jcaudron
Why? (x5)
What?How?By
becoming a publisher
![Page 26: Why most content marketing is crap 2016](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/58f03e121a28ab1a7d8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
✓ hire journalists that got fired by the traditional media
✓ objective and cutting-edge
✓ quality and criticism
✓ if it is not neutral and strong, don’t do it
✓ give them one mission: build a loyal audience that really believes what you are saying
✓ keep your traditional marketing or corporate communication experts far away
By becoming a
publisher
