Module 2: Content Marketing > Content Marketing > Content distribution and amplification
- In the interview, Chris talks about inbound marketing, Tourism WA’s Taste Master campaign, and also, distribution and amplification of content.
- For me, inbound marketing is just about bringing consumers into your website, and engaging them with good content, and a number of different tactics across different channels, and that aren’t specifically putting adverts in front of them.
- So we used blog post articles, and we formed a number of different content assets that we had placed on publisher websites who we built a relationship with.
- So we were reaching people in the areas that they were most interested in, engaging them with content that was directly relevant, and then taking them through to the blog, where they could subscribe via email or via social to have further updates and content sent through to them.
- One of the things that we’re looking to do with content going forward is to create content assets that really talk about durability and how to do and structure a holiday in Western Australia in an easy way.
- So the content strategy that we’re creating is looking at the types of content and the approaches that we need to take to content to fill consumer knowledge gaps that make consumer- what we know as being the drivers of appeal for holiday to Western Australia.
- At its core, it’s about creating useful, relevant, and timely content, and then looking at the way that that’s distributed.
- So the social channels that we are in through westernaustralia.com, to our email activity, and then looking at some different tactics that we can use to have content discovery off our own media platform.
- So we’ll be looking, and that’s equally as important in a way that we’re looking at taking our content strategy forward, is looking at the ways that we can create content that will give us access to new audiences, whether that’s through partnerships, and ways that we can have our content discovered through different tactics, like amplification engines and a number of different things that can get our content seen more widely.
- It’s a good question, and it’s that kind of thing that there’s a lot of discussion happening around how do you measure the success of content marketing? And for me, it’s really important to look at the performance measures.
- So how much of your content, what are the consumption measures? How much of it’s getting seen? How much of it is getting engaged with? And then what content you’re producing is driving the most goal assists for you? So what is that you’ve got that’s driving the most goals and actions that you want to have completed by people that you’re engaging with.
- So know what your best content is, and know how much of value that is getting seen.
- Know which topics are driving the most engagement, and then also, look at which topics are driving the most conversion so that you’ve got a set of stats that you can review, in order to optimise your content going forward.
- So I think for me, the most important areas of measuring a content strategy are about your performance measures and your optimisation measures.
- So they’re the areas that we use to inform the type of content that we create, and then we take that research and that insight.
- That forms part of the content creation strategy, and then that’s what we draw from in the different assets and content pieces that we develop as we go forward.
- So I think that being able to create content quickly and distribute it as you want to, presents a challenge from the point of view to delivering a content strategy.
- The other thing is I think that present challenges in the content space are- and it’s related to that, those issues of fast paced publishing, is your technology.
- So are you looking at the technology solutions that are in market that can help you with that? You’re looking at marketing automation and a lot of the different systems that can help you deliver a content strategy.

- Chris also talked about the relationship between paid, owned, and earned media, and tjhe very bright future for content marketing.
