Creating, using and targeting
content to engage with prospects


      Or, how to play the
            game and win
So, who am I, and why should you
      believe a word I say?
“Content is everything”
 “Content is information and experiences that may provide value for an end-user/audience in
specific contexts. Content may be delivered via any medium such as the internet, television, and

           - Andrew Nicholson. 01.11.2011
audio CDs, as well as live events such as conferences and stage performances. The word is used
   to identify and quantify various formats and genres of information as manageable value-
                                 adding components of media. ”

                                    - Wikipedia. 01.11.2011
But there is a lesson here...




“Your content is there to be mastered”
Well crafted Content will get people
            to your site




           But so what?
You need to get the RIGHT people

                                                                          the industry and to interact with peers of a similar level in
                                                                          business… VIP treatment.

Emotive video piece about how the purchase will
drive new business and engender customer
loyalty




  • Make money
  • Engage audiences
  • Improve efficiencies
The most honest description you’ll
           ever hear about marketing

“
Find some common desire, some widespread unconscious fear or anxiety: think
out some way to relate this wish or fear to the product you have to sell: then build
a bridge of verbal or pictorial symbols over which your customer may pass from
fact to compensatory dream, and from the dream to the illusion that your product,
when purchased, will make the dream come true
                                                 ”
Aldous Huxley – Brave New World revisited. 1958.
So what does this mean?

                                • Togetherness

“Kola bean flavoured soft       • Youth culture
drink” is marketed as…
                                • Peer acceptance
                                • Popularity




                                • Standing out from
“Really quite fast two seater   the crowd
German sports car” is
marketed as…                    • Success
                                • Sexually attractive
                                to women (Maybe?)
So




doesn’t ‘get’ marketing hyperbole
And your




don’t ‘get’ corporate speak
So create content that talks about…

“Banqueting”                  say   “Dining”




“Integrated service
provider solution”            say   “Help desk”




“Mission-Critical, Back-End
Data Centre”                  say   “server”
Time to ‘get real’
Our challenge
Create a website than introduces the passionate, creative people behind our
      brand. Artisans who care about creating great food sustainably.
   Do not use terms like “public caterers”, “contract caterer” or “stadium
                               caterers” etc.



                              Except...
        The people searching for our services were all searching for
       “public caterers”, “contract caterer” or “stadium caterers” etc.


                             Oh dear!
