Content is the present – and future – of marketing

Content is the present – and future – of marketing

But what exactly is content marketing?

Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.

Go back and read the content marketing definition one more time, but this time remove the relevant and valuable. That’s the difference between content marketing and the other informational garbage you get from companies trying to sell you “stuff.” Companies send us information all the time – it’s just that most of the time it’s not very relevant or valuable (can you say spam?). That’s what makes content marketing so intriguing in today’s environment of thousands of marketing messages per person per day. Good content marketing makes a person stop…read… think… behave… differently.

Thought leaders and marketing experts from around the world, including the likes of Seth Godin and hundreds of the leading thinkers in marketing have concluded that content marketing isn’t just the future, it’s the present (see the video below on the history of content marketing). https://youtu.be/9OHgMMpGLzk

The volume of increase available content is growing without stopping.

So, good content is the cornerstone of choice. What will happend: The provision of content grows exponentially, our ability to concentrate goes down, the supply of devices that take our time and attention increases …so, bet in good content

Tres apuestas para 2016

"Tres apuestas para 2016 protagonizaron las intervenciones. Una: el poder del big data, que se consolidará en breve como nuevo oro negro ("Estamos en un mundo con mucha información; con su análisis, los modelos de negocio cambian", afirmó García Cantero). Dos: el nuevo año normalizará el Internet de las cosas ("la Red ya no está solo en nuestras pantallas; lo digital se extiende como una piel que cubre el mundo físico", resaltó). Y tres: la extensión de lo digital y de ese enorme volumen de información también alimenta riesgos y miedos específicos, y por eso la ciberseguridad y la privacidad cada vez suscitarán más el interés de expertos, empresarios y gestores públicos."

Expecting the unexpected (by Seth Godin)

Expecting the unexpected

Are you doing your work for an ordered market? A region where there is stability and rules and predictable outcomes? Some examples: selling to people who have purchased before, entering a market with established competitors, contributing to a media ecosystem that works in mostly predictable ways...

The alternative are blue sky arenas where unpredictability is the rule, not the exception.

Most of us don't live and work on the frontier, and we plan our lives accordingly.

Life on the frontier brings its own rewards (and risks) but there's never an advantage in imagining that it's stable. It's hard to be surprised if you establish up front that you're likely to be surprised.

It helps to know the rules of physics in the universe where you are choosing to live. 

O mundo novo da internet leva-nos, cada vez mais, a ter que sair da nossa zona de conforto. Mais do ser uma vontade, torna-se uma necessidade. Acredito que o Pastel de Nata de hoje continue a ser o mesmo Pastel de Nata do futuro. Mas, quem sabe, uma qualquer Bimbi pode alterar as regras do jogo.

Mas existem serviços e produtos que cada vez mais se vão ver substituídos por “sabeseláoquê”. Este “sabeseláoquê” vai fazer com que muitos de nós tenhamos de sair da nossa zona de conforto.
