How to Measure Content Marketing Success | Infographic

How to Measure Content Marketing Success | Infographic | Marketing_me | Scoop.it

This infographic recommends three broad areas to evaluate when assessing content marketing success. With more than 90% of companies now doing some form of content marketing, the logical question is: how do you know if you’re doing it well?


In terms of “what” to measure, this infographic from Brandpoint recommends three broad areas to assess:

  • • Awareness (e.g., search engine rank for target keywords,  social metrics such as likes and followers);
  • • Consideration (longer average visit duration, social shares); and
  • • Conversion (increased conversion rate, growth in newsletter subscriptions).

In terms of “how” to measure success, CMOs utilizing a sophisticated web presence optimization framework for maximizing content marketing results will likely embrace tools for measuring competitive multi-channel marketing metrics—not just “are we making progress?” but also “how are we doing compared to our competitors?”

Alessandro Rea's insight:

Business-to-business (B2B) marketers' confidence in content marketing continues to grow; content marketing usage rates are up from last year; and, not surprisingly, marketers with a documented content strategy are having the greatest success, according to just-released research.

 

 

The report, B2B Content Marketing: 2014 Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends—North America (PDF), is published by MarketingProfs and the Content Marketing Institute, and sponsored by Brightcove.

 

 

Some 93% of B2B marketers in North America are using content marketing, and, of those, 42% consider themselves effective at content marketing, up from 36% last year, the study found.

 

 

 

For the first time, the annual study asked marketers whether they have a documented content strategy (44% do) and a person who oversees content marketing strategy (73% do). Marketers who have a documented strategy are not only more effective but also less challenged with every aspect of content marketing.

 

 

Marketers are also continuing to invest both budget and time in content marketing. On average, B2B marketers allocate 30% of their budgets to content marketing, and 58% of marketers plan to increase content market spend over the next 12 months.

 

Compared with last year, marketers are using more content tactics (13 vs. 12) and more social media platforms to distribute content (6 vs. 5). Moreover, 73% of are producing more content than they were a year ago.

Below, additional findings from B2B Content Marketing: 2014 Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends—North America.

B2B Content Marketing Tactics

Content marketing tactic usage has remained relatively consistent with last year's usage levels.

 

Infographics use increased most from last year: 51% of B2B marketers said they use infographics, compared with last year's 38%.

Tactic Effectiveness

For the fourth year in a row, in-person events have been cited by the greatest number of B2B marketers as being an effective tactic.

 

Among best-in-class B2B marketers, however, a greater proportion cite blogs as being effective: 79% say so, compared with 76% saying in-person events are effective.

Only 29% of the least effective B2B marketers say blogs are effective.

Social Media for Content Distribution

More B2B content marketers this year than last are using each of the social media platforms listed here:

 

Social media with the greatest increase in use from last year are SlideShare (40% vs. 23%), Google+ (55% vs. 39%), and Instagram (22% vs. 7%).

B2B Content Marketing Challenges

Aside from lack of time—a universal complaint—most B2B marketers consistently cite producing enough content and producing the kind of content that engages as challenges.
