Content creation is hard work, and if you want to start a podcast or create engaging content for your audience, you need to build a strong strategy. However, the most vital thing to remember is that it's all about your audience; so, you need to put yourself in their shoes.

In this episode of the Content Logistics podcast, our host Camille Trent welcomes Tommy Walker, the founder of The Content Studio. They talk about the importance of understanding your customer's journey, how you can engage your audience, and why you need to speak to the humanity of your audience.

Account-based marketing (ABM) is a strategic approach where you align sales and marketing to bring in new valuable customers. It aims to engage and convert high-value prospects into paying customers. But how do you create content that converts better for ABM campaigns?

In this episode of the Content Logistics podcast, our host Camille Trent welcomes Corrina Owens, Sr. Demand Gen Manager at Gong. They talk about how ABM helps marketers elevate their content, why you need to focus on the voice of the customer, and how to lift up your prospects even before they're customers.

Creating unique content becomes challenging as the business climate and customers' knowledge and preferences change. But, as we established a while ago, we don't expect content creators to reinvent the wheel. Instead, an occasional walk down your blog's ''memory lane'' helps reintroduce old topics, analyze their current performance, and determine where change is necessary. 

Nate Turner, the CEO & co-founder of Ten Speed, joins us in this episode of Content Logistics to discuss the causes and consequences of content decay and how companies should deal with it to prevent it from hurting their growth.

In this podcast episode, we discuss the impact of the ongoing recession on content teams, which are often the first to face budget cuts. Many companies perceive content teams as dispensable, but our guest, Anthony Kennada of AudiencePlus, argues that content is essential for marketing success. As Kennada puts it, "Without content, there is no marketing. Content is the flywheel that makes marketing happen."

Anthony explains why companies should keep their content teams, emphasizing their role in content distribution. He also discusses the shift in consumer behavior and how people consume content. According to current trends, as Anthony notes, content built around consumers, and not an algorithm, will drive business growth in 2023. 

Integrated marketing is a strategy for delivering a unified message across all the marketing channels your brand uses. It lets businesses have a cohesive narrative about their brand and have a significant impact with their campaigns. And with an integrated marketing strategy, you can deliver mixed media messages or communicate in an independent voice. 

But marketing across multiple channels is also a challenge. The more you use, the more difficult it becomes to ensure message consistency. Given the complexity of digital marketing channels, integrated marketing usually requires focused planning and effort, and that's where an integrated marketing strategy can be of great help. 

In this episode of Content Logistics, our host Camille Trent welcomes Ashley Faus, the director of Integrated Product Marketing at Atlassian. Ashley gets into the structuring of a marketing team and why it's important not to separate the content and distribution parts from product marketing. Ashley and Camille discuss integrated marketing, the importance of shared goals for creating the right content strategy, and Ashley's different roles.

Content marketing is a strategy to attract, engage, and retain an audience by creating and sharing relevant articles, videos, podcasts, and other media. And if you want to stand out from the competition, you can create branded content that helps illustrate your company's point of view and evokes an emotional response from your audience. 

But you need to know your audience for this strategy to succeed. If you don't understand your ICP and audience, you won't know how to go to market and how to build a better product. So, you need to know what your audience wants from your product and content.

In this episode of Content Logistics, our host Camille Trent welcomes Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro. Amanda explains how you can create a successful content brand. Amanda and Camille discuss audience research, the ways to do it, and its benefits for the marketing team.
