The  Content  Marke?ng  journey…  

A  Form  Not  A  Formula  •  Connected  concepts  •  Not  a  linear  pathway  

Our  customers’  journeys  aren’t  linear  –    so,  why  do  we  expect  that  guiding  them  will  be?

@Robert_Rose  

In  it,  we  see  much  of  the  “digital  transforma?on”  

CLASSIC  MARKETING   “Tradi?onal”  

1.0  Digital   2.0  Social  &  Content

@Robert_Rose  

But from what decade is our technology?

We  started  with  content…Because,  you  know…  Web  sites!    Then,  it  was  about  op?mizing  Deliver  right  content  at  the  right  Ame  And  because  CRM  couldn’t  deliver.    And  CRM  is  the  handoff  point  Because,  you  know….  Not  markeAng!    Oh  yeah,  measurement  too…Which  were  the  “fries  with  that”  for  everything  we  purchased.

@Robert_Rose  

Is this the right map?

Maybe…..  But  it  really  doesn’t  maXer…  what  it  signals  is  more  important    A  strategic  inflec?on  point…  The  process  of  CM  is  becoming  beXer  understood    GeZng  beyond  random  acts  of  technology  will  be  the  key.

We know we have to change…

The  digital  disrup?on  AffecAng  our  business  and  the  way  we  market  it.    Compe??veness  We  need  to  differenAate.    Innova?on  New  Product  We  need  to  rise  above  the  noise.

#ContentTECH

@Robert_Rose  

How do we change?

So…..

Page 16: Customers, Content & Experiences - Beyond Random Acts Of Technology

#ContentTECH

@Robert_Rose  

First, we bust the CIO/CMO alignment myths

Not  aligning  separate  strategies  BeXer  communicaAon  is  only  part  of  the  soluAon    It’s  not  becoming  each  other  Knowing  how  to  code  or  write  copy  does  not  an  expert  make    It’s  about  collabora?ng  on  a  new,  unified  strategy

@Robert_Rose  

There’s good reason to collaborate….

@Robert_Rose  

Who has the trust?

Trust  their  CIO’s  *  

DON’T  Trust  their  CMO’s  Or  are  even  impressed  with  their  work

*  Fournaise  Group  Study  -­‐  2010

Who performs?

Have  cost  over-­‐runs  17%  go  so  bad  they  threaten  company

@Robert_Rose  

Currently businesses believe…

Value from technology is predictable and all that’s needed is better planning. Marketing is science that should be solved with algorithms  

Neither  is  true  

Page 21: Customers, Content & Experiences - Beyond Random Acts Of Technology

#ContentTECH

@Robert_Rose  

A unified strategy of content and technology

Leverage  the  unique  strengths  of  each.      This  is  a  bigger  discussion  than  just  content  and  marke?ng...    But  crea?ng  customer  content  experiences  can  be  a  star?ng  point.    

Page 22: Customers, Content & Experiences - Beyond Random Acts Of Technology

@Robert_Rose  

And it’s where content strategy can shine!

Hey  Content  Strategists  -­‐  looking  for  a  Raison  d’Etre  lately?    Content  strategists  can  be  the  driver  of  the  CMO/CIO  alignment.    Content  can  be  the  grounding  force  of  a  business  strategy.    

“The  coopera$on  is  there  to  democra$ze  data,  making  it  accessible  and  ac$onable  across  the  enterprise.  What  is  most  obvious  through  these  findings  is  that  this  will  not  be  possible  without  partnership,  and  no  partnership  can  flourish  without  support.”

A framework built to change….

Page 24: Customers, Content & Experiences - Beyond Random Acts Of Technology

#ContentTECH

@Robert_Rose  

It’s already happening…

As  you  start  to  look  at  technologies  –  prepare  ques?ons:    Speed,  flexibility  Vs.  IntegraAon,  portability  Vs.  Scalability,  dependability  

Page 25: Customers, Content & Experiences - Beyond Random Acts Of Technology

#ContentTECH

@Robert_Rose  

Summing up….

Only  you  can  stop  random  acts  of  technology    Understand  your  buyer’s  journey  –  and  where  technology  will  help  facilitate  you  and  the  customer      

Use  the  framework  to  ask  beeer  ques?ons  –  and  as  a  “filter”  for  what  kinds  of  technology  to  buy  and  implement.  

Marke?ng  Technology  is  a  collabora?on  –  an  integra?on,  not  agreement  on  different  strategies.    Build  a  unified  strategy  that  drives  value
