Research from the\u00a0Content Marketing Institute\u00a0shows that 81% of businesses who document their content marketing strategy align their teams around two things: a common mission statement and goals. An additional 81% said that recording their strategy makes it easier to develop and produce content.<\/p>\n

Creating a strategic content marketing plan takes time, but when done well, not only will content creation be easier, you\u2019ll achieve your goals faster!<\/p>\n

Create authenticity through subject matter expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to content, authenticity is key. If your content does not showcase your brand personality or the value you provide to your customers, it\u2019s time to make a change.<\/p>\n

Companies that are not authentically themselves \u2014 in all aspects of their business \u2014 will eventually suffer. Potential clients and customers will see right through the fluff and lose trust in your brand.<\/p>\n

While creating your content, provide value by aiming to educate or engage your prospects. In doing so, you will establish trust and credibility with potential customers.<\/p>\n

Ways to incorporate authenticity into your brand:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Align your content with your company\u2019s mission<\/p>\n

Infuse your brand\u2019s personality into your writing without adding industry jargon<\/p>\n

Engage with your audience to further build trust<\/p>\n

Write with people, not just search engines, in mind<\/p>\n

Identify subject matter experts within your organization and ask them to write on topics they know well<\/p>\n

Produce relevant content<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Marketing Insider Group, \u201cNearly half of consumers won\u2019t spend time with branded content if it\u2019s not relevant to their interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a marketer, it\u2019s essential to create high-quality content that is relevant to potential customers in order to gain their attention and establish trust. If your content is not relevant to your target audience, it will be nearly impossible to convert visitors into leads.<\/p>\n

In a world filled with content, it can be a challenge to gain and keep your audience\u2019s attention. Creating content that is useful to visitors will vastly improve your chances of building brand awareness and moving potential customers further through the buyer\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n

When creating content, always keep your persona\u2019s preferences, behaviors, and pain points in mind. Think about what questions they have and seek to answer them through your content. Doing so will help you to differentiate your brand, engage your audience, and increase prospects\u2019 and customers\u2019 trust in your company.<\/p>\n

Finally, when creating content, consider the stage of the\u00a0buyer\u2019s journey\u00a0your reader is in. You want to produce vastly different content for someone who was previously unfamiliar with your brand than someone who has engaged with it several times.<\/p>\n

Incorporate video and other multimedia into your content<\/strong><\/p>\n

Multimedia is paving the way in content, and it isn\u2019t going away anytime soon. For example, video consumption is\u00a0up to almost 75 million viewers\u00a0each day in the US alone.<\/p>\n
