TRANSFORMING ENGAGEMENT
How Content Marketing Strategies Drive Growth in the Technology Industry
Content’s Role In Technology
Complex sales cycles take months and involve dozens of buyers who conduct research, talk to industry peers, and form consensus across internal teams. If you are not facilitating this process with content that helps them complete their buying tasks, then you may not be in the consideration set or you’re likely competing on price.
Our Approach to Great Technology Content
DON’T FORGET THE NON-TECHNICAL BUYER
Yes, your primary contact is in IT and you have a well-honed message for that buyer. However, as technology continues to transform our economy, non-technical leaders are having a bigger influence on technology investments. Understanding the business outcomes they seek is critical to gaining their consideration. We create content for them; content that makes complex solutions easier to understand because they are presented within the context of your audiences’ business goals. It’s also enjoyable to read.
OUR MANAGING EDITOR MODEL
Most agencies pair art directors with writers to create ads. We create content that is a product in and of itself, designed to educate and empower buyers. To ensure value, we assign a managing editor; a storyteller who is an expert in your business. They, in turn, work with our proprietary group of industry writers to deliver content that drives engagement and affinity for your brand.
