Strategies to Maximize Your Content Marketing to Build Loyalty (401) (Half Day)

Content Marketing Mastery Program 401
(Half Day Workshop)

Pre-requisite: ANA Content Marketing 301 (or equivalent knowledge)

Workshop Description
You’ve created your content marketing program – with a written mission, strategy, message, research, competitive awareness and metrics. You’ve measured and optimized existing content, built a content base and differentiated it from competitors. What do you need to do next?

Learn four ways to maximize your content marketing. In this hands-on workshop, you learn how to get the whole company to buy in to content, promote content to attract subscribers and customers, and convert content consumers into customers. Maximize your content marketing as you:

  • Create content communities – internal and external. To get the most out of your content marketing, build an internal content community to secure buy-in from Sales, subject-matter experts (SMEs), product managers, research and development (R&D) and executives. Recruit employee ambassadors, who extend your reach by up to 20 times. Build external communities that get specific jobs done – including social, support, advocacy, insight and crowdsourcing communities.
  • Promote content to generate followers and subscribers. Use organic, earned and paid media to distribute and promote content, maximize reach and capture more eyeballs. Create 5 types of compelling content – content pillars, customer FAQs, consistent content, crowd-pleasers and curated content – to pull more readers in.
  • Increase conversions: turn readers into subscribers into customers. Build a relationship that makes readers want to become subscribers and members of your community. Learn strategies that minimize effort and maximize rewards for users – in order to build your audience, improve audience quality and boost conversion rates.
  • Prepare for the challenges ahead. The future of content marketing will see a seismic shift. Will buyers be able to find your content? And will they trust it? Marketers must prepare for anticipated changes such as what to do when social media use declines, where to start using artificial intelligence (AI) in content marketing, how to prepare for voice search, what 5G can enable and how to counter deep fakes.

This is the final installment in the ANA’s four-part series “Content Marketing Mastery Program”, where participants gain a deep understanding of the power of content in today's digital landscape and learn how to leverage it effectively to drive engagement, build brand awareness, and generate leads.

Building on levels 101--301, participants now delve into building relationships with SME’s, setting a clear strategy to transform subscribers into customers, and more. By honing these abilities, participants will be well-equipped to attract and engage a larger audience, ultimately driving increased conversions and achieving their marketing goals.
