CONTENT MARKETING
“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.”
— Simon Sinek
When the topic of content marketing arises, often the very first question to come up is, “what exactly is content marketing?” Let’s start there. Content marketing refers to a combined approach to marketing designed to reach a target audience with more than just a message — it’s aim is to communicate the collective story of the brand, business or organization.
The traditional role of advertising has long been to catch people’s attention briefly, repeatedly. The idea here is that with repeated exposure, the product or brand becomes familiar, and that familiarity leads to purchase. The goal of content marketing however, is to share the story of the business or brand through multiple channels in an ongoing way. Sharing the story is about more than repeating a “buy now” message — it involves sharing the why behind the business, brand or product.
This is accomplished through a combination of messaging strategies that each represent a different facet of the brand or business. Writing, graphic design, website design and content, photography, video, publicity and media coverage, collateral materials, infographics, interactive experiences, events, traditional advertising, swag, collaborative partnerships, blogs, editorials and advertorials, branding, community involvement, sponsorship, public speaking or performance, SEO and digital design are all examples of content marketing messaging strategies.
These messaging strategies are delivered through platforms like the internet, websites, social media, Google Business, in-person, magazines, radio, television, books and printed materials, tangible products, through media outlets, and more.
Sounds overwhelming, right? Not going to lie — it can be. This approach to reaching your audience isn’t well suited for the one-offs or half-assed. Content marketing is for businesses, brands, entrepreneurs and organizations looking to build loyalty and continued interest in what’s being offered. If traditional advertising is about wearing your audience down with your message on repeat in hopes of building familiarity, then content marketing is about letting your audience “in” on the magic behind the message in hopes of building a relationship.
