Content Marketing

Content marketing is a highly effective way to attract and engage with a recognised target market. The central concept behind this form of marketing is to provide perceived value to consumers. Content marketing is primarily based around written text, video, image and audio. Whatever the form or channel, the pieces should be informative, educational and entertaining.

CREATING CONTENT FOR EFFECTIVE MARKETING

Creating effective content to inform and hopefully entertain the consumer takes some effort. Written content should be written in a conversational style. It should avoid jargon wherever possible and contain tips or some other form of value. In other words, the content should provide something tangible for the consumer to 'take away'. In addition, the content should be appropriate for the selected communication channel. We work with our clients to create and manage powerful content marketing campaigns. The overall objective being to attract, inform, engage and retain customers.

CREATIVE PROCESS

CONTENT CREATION PROCESS

RED FRED Creative understand the fundamental customer journey that content marketing addresses. The three key stages of this journey are: Recognition, Consideration and Decision. First, consumers recognise an issue or problem, then they consider potential solutions and finally they make a decision. Therefore, designing content around this three stage process is extremely beneficial for creating outstanding content.

RESEARCH & INVESTIGATION

Identify and understand the target market and design ways to engage with them. Creating customer profiles can really help to select types of content that will resonate. In addition, it should assist in the choice of appropriate channels. 

INFORMATION SELECTION

Engaging with consumers requires entertaining and informative content that is targeted. For instance, it could be based around challenges, problems or gaps in understanding. More valuable content is far more likely to create engagement.

CHANNEL CHOICE

One of the golden rules of marketing is to understand where you audience is. Content marketing is no different. The demographic of the target market may mean you choose YouTube over TikTok. Once chosen, the content must be delivered in a way that is appropriate to the specific channel.

CONTENT ISN'T FREE

Whilst content marketing can be affordable in some forms it is always important to understand any budget restrictions. Video production might be more expensive than blog writing for instance. However, return on investment should also be considered.

ALL KILLER NO FILLER

Delivering value is rule number 1. Ideal content is entertaining and provides actionable insights that enrich the consumer. Therefore, the customer should feel better informed and happy to return to you as a provider of content. 

TESTING & OPTIMISATION

Inevitably some pieces of content will create more engagement than others. The key is to identify which pieces performed the best and why they did so. Ultimately we can use this to influence subsequent activity.
