So how can you plan your Content
Distribution Strategy to best effect?
What are their content
needs?
What formats do they
prefer?
Where do they look for
content?
How can we make them
content distributors?
YOUR AUDIENCE.
YOUR STARTING POINT.
Think Value Exchange
“Deliver consistent, ongoing
valuable information to
buyers, and they will
ultimately reward us with
their business and loyalty.”
A whole host of channel options

The importance of Search
93% of B2B buyers use search to begin the buying process
More links pointing to
your content = better
page ranking
Always optimise your
content to reflect
keywords & phrases
Video assets 56x more
likely to be ranked on the
first page of Google than
standard text

Social Media: Made for content sharing
85% of b2b buyers believe companies should
present information via social networks
Source: Cone, Inc
4 good reasons to distribute content via
Social Networks
1) To increase opportunities to see and engage
2) To promote and encourage sharing of your content –
extending your digital footprint
3) To improve your search performance
4) To influence the influencers
Find out where your audience is hanging
out online

Build a clear strategy for each distribution
channel
Who does it well?
Facebook: the verdict’s still out
4 reasons Facebook stinks, according to commentator
Chris Koch
 Engagement is temporary
 Conversation is banal or non-existent
 The like button is a blunt instrument
 The perception of Facebook as a consumer platform
persists
Facebook for B2B stinks:
It’s official, apparently
Source: Chris Koch
The rise of the Professional Network
51% of marketers use it
to distribute content
Source: Digital Buzz
Video sharing
75% of senior executives say they
watch work related videos on business-
related websites at least weekly
65% have visited a vendor’s website
after watching a video
Source: Forbes
Source: Google
Try it, test it, learn which channels work
for you...
Source: Hubspot
Content Curation tools
Make it easy to share
Use industry standard platforms –
YouTube, Vimeo, Slideshare, Flickr
Always include sharing buttons online
and in PDFs
But make it interesting and compelling
enough that they want to share it!
Case example:
30,000 page views
200+ blogs
Time to go mobile?
Nearly 50% of
people access the
internet through a
mobile device
1 in 4 employees
use personal
smartphones at
work
Source: BBC
Source: ITPro
Where to start?
Google Analytics – tells
you the mobile devices
and platforms being used
Make your content
mobile friendly – from
PDF to App
Get smart about your use
of mobile... Location-
based search? AR apps?
And another important channel...
Your sales force
90% of marketing
deliverables are
not used by sales
Only 7% of IT services
companies are seen by their
customers as ‘strategic
partners’
•Need to show industry
knowledge
•‘Think for me’, not just ‘do for
me’: guidance not plumbing
•Need an opinion, an angle, a
point of view, a vision of what’s
next....

Our very own content
distribution experiment
Vital Statistics for B2B Marketing
It started with a blog post...
Then we decided it could be so much
bigger...
Our objectives:
 Raise Earnest’s profile and put our agency firmly on the map
 Use the video as a potential showreel to demonstrate both our
strategic and creative prowess
 Optimise our online presence and increase our search
performance
 And optimistically, generate new business opportunities
Vital Statistics for B2B Marketing
The video... [Click to launch]
Spreading the word
 YouTube branded channel
 Twitter
 Targeted approaches to key commentators and influencers
 LinkedIn – embedding the video into our profiles
 Facebook
 PR – free online news wires
 Blog comments
Beyond all expectations...
Targets:
 1,000 video views in 6 weeks
 30% increase in Twitter
followers
 20% increase in average site
visits
 20% increase in inbound links
 2 new business opportunities
Results (6 weeks later):
 6,500 video views
 42% increase in Twitter
followers
 30% increase in average site
visits
 87% increase in inbound links
 2 new business opportunities
Plus
Over 90 mentions on Twitter,
extensive media coverage and
improvements in natural search
What we learnt...
 Video wins out over text based content any day
 CIOs do block YouTube – so distribute your videos
across a number of platforms
 Influencing the influencer amplifies your reach
 We’re still not sure about Facebook
 Joining the dots adds a whole lot of momentum to your
activity
If there are only 5 things
you remember today...
The big 5
 Never lose sight of your audience
 Inbound AND outbound
 Build your digital footprint
 Measure, make mistakes, learn, refine
 Great content will win the day!
