Saving money: Utilities company
@rahelab
“The company evaluated its call center volume and found that 25 to 35% of the four million calls received a year were from customers who did not understand their monthly bills. Using the rule of thumb that a call center inquiry costs $5 to $50 per call, you can easily calculate the costs associated with this issue.”Source: http://www.contentmarketinginstitute.com/2011/04/content-marketing-data/
25% of 4 million call = 1 million @ average $25/call = $25million

Content strategy maturity model
Content is handled on an ad-hoc basis (“create and fling”); little thought to the consequences or management
Organisation has multiple processes, often in silos, without thoughtful connection points
Some planning has resulted in publishing-side integration but no integration earlier in the process
Content is treated as a corporate asset, with the appropriate checks and balances, editorially, technically, and in governance.
Content is recognised as a key asset of a business strategy and recognised for its impact on customer experience and complexity of management
