Content Marketing

Don’t just blog – engage your customers with a hard-hitting content marketing programme

Your customers are carrying out more independent research than ever. Before they contact you, they spend hours trawling the web – looking for the solution that best suits their needs. Instead of finding it, they’re faced with overt sales promotion. Rival brands are pushing products with little care for satisfying their customers’ wants and needs.

Don’t fall into this trap.

Your customers will become disenfranchised. Disgruntled, they’ll distance themselves from your brand – your CLV [Customer Lifetime Value] will drop, and over time, your margins will shrink.

Be proactive. Use content to place your customers at the centre of your marketing activity. If you want to build long-lasting customer relationships, provide the support they’re looking for from the second they consider making a purchase.

We’ll help you craft content that will take you a step closer to your customers – and keep you three steps ahead of the competition.

With our help, your content will engage customers and keep them hooked before, during and after the sale.

You won’t fall foul of the overt sell. Instead, you’ll prioritise engagement and authentic interaction with your brand. The kind that builds loyalty and goes a long way to positively influencing purchase behaviour.

You’ll get your customers on-side. Eventually, they’ll help you grow your business through brand advocacy. Communicate with them in the right way, and you’ll have a customer base that positively benefits your balance sheet year-on-year.

Your content will work hard behind the scenes too

We’ll make sure you rise above the waves of irrelevant blog posts and self-centric videos that have flooded the internet. We’ll satisfy your customers with content that’s unique, compelling, and useful to them. The sort of content that Google and influential trade publications can’t get enough of either.

The backlinks you’ll attract will add rocket fuel to your SEO. With the help of your network and third-party social amplification [social sharing], your content will be one click away from connecting strangers with your brand.

While your competitors are busy publishing superficial tabloid-esque prose, you’ll be using content to raise brand awareness and attract new customers.

We make content marketing work for your business...

Every business is different. That’s why our content marketing services aren’t ‘one size fits all’. Before we start typing or yell “lights, camera, action”, we get to know your team, aspirations and stakeholders through structured workshops.

If necessary, our Chartered Marketers can take you through the strategic marketing planning process. We’ll make sure your competitive advantage(s), value proposition and customer benefits are clear and relevant before we jump into content production.

Your content marketing will have purpose and a clear direction, so it doesn’t become a series of worthless, disjointed activities.

We’ll arm you with a winning content marketing plan – and help you action it

Once your ducks are in a row, we can make a start on your content. We’ll use the insights we’ve gained through the planning phase to pick out key topics, and form ‘Content Clusters’ [groups of content that cover a specific topic] that will connect your brand and your customers.

We’ll map content against your customers’ purchase journey so you can be confident that you’re covering all the bases they need you to.

You’ll have a coherent content marketing plan – one that works. Its performance metrics will prove its value.

Then we’ll adapt your content, so it works just as hard off-site too.

Our iterations will make sure you maximise engagement and shares so you can spread your brand far and wide.

Content only performs when it’s seen. That’s why we’ll get it in front of key online influencers and the journalists behind the publications, blogs and news sites your customers read.

We’ll make sure you get as much coverage as possible. And in the process, build the quality backlinks you’ll need to make Google pay serious attention to your brand.

You’ll cast your net wider than your own contact database without having to pay for expensive media placements. With quality content and considered outreach [relationship development for link building and content promotion], you’ll engage the people that you need to and fill your pipeline by working smarter, not harder.
