You’ve built a strong foundation for your content marketing program – with a written mission, strategy, message, buyer persona research, competitive content audit and metrics. What’s next?

Learn three ways to optimize your content marketing. In this hands-on workshop, you learn how to measure and improve your content, build a content base, and create highly differentiated content that competitors can’t copy. Optimize your content marketing as you learn how to:

  • Measure and optimize existing content. How can you get more performance from existing content? Squeeze the maximum value from existing content with testing, newsjacking, resizing, refreshing, upgrading, link-building and guest blogging. Fine-tune content to make it more scannable, readable, emotional and effective.
  • Build your content base. How can you elevate your content above competitors? Most marketers create many content assets yet lack a solid content marketing base. Learn how to create major content assets that buyers can’t resist. Build a solid content marketing base to make your brand tower above others in the competitive content landscape.
  • Differentiate with a content hook. How can you make content so differentiated that competitors can’t copy it? In most markets, the content landscape is overcrowded with content from many companies, yet no one’s content really stands out. Define the content landscape, identify open spaces that are opportunities for differentiation, and create a unique hook for your brand’s content.

This is the third 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.

In this installment, participants learn how to effectively evaluate the performance of their content, identify areas for improvement, and implement data-driven optimization strategies. Participants will then move into preparing for challenges and learning strategies to build customer loyalty in level 401.
