Enterprise Marketer Podcast - Conference

The production of content has never been more complex than it is today. The platforms we use, the methodologies we deploy, and the media we use to reach audiences cause marketers to become amazing specialists of several topics. I coined the term Renaissance Marketer to describe the many functions we require. However, when you start to embrace these new talents you are developing, the pressure to get down compels us to go fast rather than focus on value. To Matt Dion, CEO on Mintent, this is a problem he is passionate about and knows platforms like Mintent can assist in the evolution of the marketing team.

"When people hear "slow down", they panic....We live with this "multitask, go hard, sleep when you're dead"...attitude, so the thought of "slow down" sends shivers down managers' spines." Behind this approach to faster is better, you typically find a management team that believes their work is not the same as the other assets and services the company delivers. It's just marketing, so get it done. However, we know as consumers of great content assets, that the finishing touches and thinking about the whole lifecycle of a piece of content help us answer our questions with better accuracy.

In this episode, Matt Dion and Jeff Julian discuss the topic of marketing workflow and how Mintent can help your team perform better. "The approach is now more, "Why are you producing content? What's the impact? What's the purpose of it? How are you gonna know if it's having the impact that you think it will? How are you going to measure it?"

Favorite Quote:

"When people hear "slow down", they panic....We live with this "multitask, go hard, sleep when you're dead"...attitude, so the thought of "slow down" sends shivers down managers' spines."

"We feel good about ourselves when we're busy. That old saying, 'Don't confuse motion for movement.'"

"It's part of our vision of giving marketers a platform that allows them to be a little more peaceful around the way they do things."

"The approach is now more, "Why are you producing content? What's the impact? What's the purpose of it? How are you gonna know if it's having the impact that you think it will? How are you going to measure it?"

"Let's just slow down a bit. Enough to make sure that what we're doing is the right stuff."

Ever wondered what drives the decision makers behind Content Marketing Institute? Cathy McPhillips, VP of Marketing at CMI, and host Jeff Julian came together for a quick chat at this year's Intelligent Content Conference and examined the strategy that propels some of the world's most well-known content events.

In previous years, ICC was an event focused on featuring and supporting content strategy which, to a huge portion of marketers, is still a fairly new concept. Now, the event draws marketers of all walks and the CMI minds work to broaden marketers' understanding of intelligent content.

Cathy and Jeff also discuss the marketing focuses of CMI and what they are working on to reach marketers and convert them into event goers. "Marketing automation is huge for us right now... We have 200,000+ names in our database. We don't want to send them all the same message. They deserve the same message."

Biography:

Cathy is the VP of Marketing for the Content Marketing Institute where she oversees marketing efforts for all CMI properties. Prior to joining CMI, Cathy has 20+ years in marketing, including agency life, B2C, restaurant and non-profit marketing, and her own marketing consulting business. She is currently a board member for The Orange Effect Foundation.

Content needs it's own engineers, these days. Matthew Balogh and host Jeff Julian sit down at this year's Intelligent Content Conference to examine the opportunities that technology has created for intelligent content, and how marketers and technologists need to work together to realize the full potential of their strategies.

Matthew Balogh is a Senior Director of Content Engineering at The Medicines Company, and content engineering is a new role in the marketing world. Matthew uses his experience as an agency software engineer and marketer to essentially provide a deeper, more strategic understanding of the needs of the content strategy and how the resources at hand - whether those be in talent or technology - can accommodate those needs.

This episode gets nerdy in all of the best ways. Jeff and Matthew discuss the history of content management as well as some of the modern processes and technologies that marketers use to collect useful, game-changing data from content consumers. "[Stakeholders] want to tell you the end of the story. They want to read you the last page first, and say 'This is what I'm looking for. The butler did it. Fill in the pages.' That's a hard thing to do as a technologist. Because [if you've every played Clue, you know] there's so many ways you can kill the butler!"

One on my favorite topics is Agile Marketing, and to find another person in the area who has passion about the subject is a very awesome thing. Travis Arnold, self-described digital marketer, business owner, and a technical guy, is one of the original community contributors to the idea behind bringing Agile to marketing.

In this episode, Travis and I discuss how he got started with the subject, how teams can focus on delivering amazing content by focusing on customer satisfaction, and when it is the right time to change course on your efforts. And the fun doesn't stop there. We dive into getting out of the cost-center mentality of a marketing department and consider what it will take to have your team show true ROI to the business.

For a Content Marketing effort to work, you have to focus your work on creating consistently delivered content that is valuable to an audience. Sometimes our personas are simple, due to the lack of geographic area we have to cover. However, the value received in an article written for a banker in the United States could be completely different than that of a banker in Kenya. In this episode, Pam Didner and Jeff Julian discuss the new for Global Content Marketing teams and how you can get started by using the resources you already have if you are facing this issue.
