Content Marketing

SELL WITHOUT SELLING


“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.”
– The Content Marketing Institute

Start with a Strategy

It’s important to build a content marketing strategy that elevates your public relations and social media efforts with valuable content created to resonate with your audience. We know thoughtful advanced planning can ensure your program’s success. How we do it:

Strategy development | Audience analysis | Keyword research | Content inventory | Editorial calendars

Develop Relevant Content

Creating valuable, relevant content takes effort, resources and an intimate knowledge of your target markets. Great content is the trail of breadcrumbs that engages people, drives traffic and influences customer behavior. How we do it:

White papers | Blog development | Infographics | Video | eBooks | Third party curation

Start Promoting your Content

Once you have your content, you need to reach out to your audience via multiple channels. A strong promotion strategy will not only disseminate content but also support your SEO initiatives. Here’s where the legwork of PR and social media converge to amplify your messages. How we do it:

Targeted outreach & link building | Media relations | Social media management | Email newsletter management | Paid content

Measure your Results

How do you know you’ve chosen a good PR firm? We know you can’t manage what you can’t measure. We understand the importance of comprehensive reporting of our activities and time spent on focused actions that make your PR program a success. How we do it:

Priority planning | Accomplishment reports | Weekly or bi-weekly meetings | Tracking of media coverage | Quarterly reports | Annual reviews

But don’t just take our word for it
