Most successful businesses have a solid digital marketing strategy in place. But what about content marketing? In a digital world, customers are consuming content all day every day, whether they understand what it is and how it works or not.
This is content marketing, and it’s the most powerful marketing tool at any brand’s fingertips.
How Can Content Work for You?
By providing valuable content that communicates not only what your brand does, but who you are as people and a business, the results speak for themselves. Content marketing doesn’t sell to your customers directly until the time is right. Instead, the aim is to engage, communicate and bring value. As a result, you become a steady and consistent source of knowledge and entertainment for your audience.
It’s earning the right to sell, because your customers have a choice. And content helps them choose you.
From developing your content marketing strategy to creating the content itself, Pivotal can provide the services you need to achieve your most ambitious goals. By implementing a strategy tailored to you, and providing engaging, value-driven content, we can raise brand awareness for your business, attract customers and shape audience and purchase behaviour.
What is Content Marketing?
Traditional marketing techniques often consist of what’s known as ‘interruption marketing’. Think leaflets, adverts, posters and similar. But content marketing is different. It’s integrated into our everyday lives. It reaches your customers where their attention already is, communicates and builds relationships with them. All without pushing the hard sale.
So, content is anything that’s consumed digitally.
- Social media
- Landing pages and website articles
- Blog posts
- Images and infographics
- Animations
- Videos
- Podcasts or other audio media
These are all forms of highly effective content marketing, proven to engage audiences and, in time, convert customers. But there’s more to it than creating content and posting it.
Why Content Marketing is Essential
Content marketing is the past, present and future of marketing. By providing relevant and valuable content to established and potential clients, you can develop your company into an authentic, engaging authority on the topics that matter most to your customers.
Brands that use a focused content marketing strategy alongside their traditional marketing methods benefit from:
- Increased trust and loyalty with your audience
- A better understanding of customer desires, needs and habits
- Higher conversions, turning audiences into customers
- Improved sales
- Reduced marketing costs
- A strong social media presence
- A positive impact on your SEO and Google ranking
- Increased backlinks
Remember, Google rewards businesses that create valuable, high-quality content that’s informative and entertaining. Because of this, and the prominence of social media, content has never been more vital. And that trend is only on the rise.
