24 LEARNINGS

25 Learnings THE KPI s - Sales: I want content to sell something - Marketeers: I want content that promote my product and enrich my customers DB - Brand: I want content that fits with my brand value - IT: I want content that is well tagged and published on the right tool - SEO specialist: I want content that fits with google - Agency: I want content that generates margins on production costs - Management: I want content that makes the buzz

26 Learnings Inbound marketing = sales driven content marketing B2B persona s are not always realistic / activable mix of job title & activity sector à Choose persona s that are reachable by some medias Lots of reporting available = short term sales expectations not always manageable à take your time Too much reporting (CPClick CPConversion / content piece) à too much learning à Fix short term KPI s & long term KPI s B2B figures are B2B figures: quali VS quanti small target groups medias costs

27 Learnings Long and complicated nurturing track Nurturing track leads to a Shy effect no, no, I m not trying to sell you something How to build the right nurturing tracks? Last step of nurturing tracks = call à well defined end-to-end sales process (no end-toend digital sales process) Small paid medias offering for B2B content promotion (even SEO): - Linkedin: expensive & low engagement level - Content promotion format are not really used by niches medias - Small medias investments à small fee for medias agency à small services - SEA in B2B area : volumes? Use your owned medias as much as possible but less discreet, perceived as an outbound communication

28 Learnings No internal content authors? a second shy level Use of external influencers as author? Cost & credibility New distribution of roles & level + New internal processes The right partners: - For content creation: blog posts - For complex content creation: AV webinar - infographics - For content amplification - For medias partnerships - For nurturing tracks design - For nurturing tracks content ( s & co) à All-in or not à Insourcing VS outsourcing
