Content marketing is an essential part of any B2B marketing strategy. It involves creating and sharing valuable content that educates, informs, and engages your target audience. B2B content marketing aims to provide potential customers with information that can help them make better decisions, build trust, and credibility with potential customers, positioning your business as a thought leader in your industry.

​

Tailor Your Approach To Your Customers

There are clear differences in marketing approach between different B2B sectors. Trust is key in FinTech marketing, whereas Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies need to focus on demonstrating expertise in the field they are seeking to disrupt. Real Estate, Professional and Financial Services firms often adopt a thought leadership strategy. However, there are also common frameworks that apply to all B2B content marketing.

 

Right Content, Right Channel, Right Time

To be successful, B2B content marketing requires a plan that outlines the types of content you want to create, who the target audience is and what they care about, the channels you will use to distribute that content, and the metrics you will use to measure success.

 

Algorithms Love High-Quality, Platform-Native Content

As we move into a word in which attention algorithms command a greater market share, it was never been more important for B2B companies to focus on creating high-quality content that provides real value to your target audience. This can be be achieved by creating platform native content, providing unique and proprietary data sets, or leveraging the personal brands and expertise of your leadership team.

​

Thought Leadership That Engages Decision Makers

White papers, thought leadership reports, pillar articles, and other forms of high-value, data-driven anchor content work should all be part of your B2B digital marketing. These types of content are useful tools for lead generation, positioning your business as an expert in your industry, and engaging with your target audience. A survey by LinkedIn and Edelman found that 64% of buyers say that an organization's thought leadership content is a more trustworthy basis for assessing its capabilities and competency than its marketing materials and product sheets.

​

Repurpose High-Value Content

These types of long-form content should form the backbone of your marketing calendar, anchoring your key messages and providing the assets to support events, webinars and social media marketing. In addition, thought leadership articles can be easily repurposed into other formats such as listicles, LinkedIn posts, blog posts and infographics, extending their reach and return on investment (ROI).

​

Data-driven Content Marketing

Data needs to be at the heart of your content marketing strategy. Using data from your website, social media channels, and other sources, you can identify the themes and types of content that resonate with your target audience and use these insights to adjust your strategy.

​

SEO Content Is Key

High-value content is only part of a B2B digital marketing strategy. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing your content to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). This involves identifying relevant keywords and phrases, and including these into your content. SEO is still on the most important ways to generate motivated inbound leads and can't be ignored. Generative AI are transforming this area of content production allowing you to create content at scale. it is also fueling an arms race. As AI makes content cheap, the value of your content becomes ever more important in establishing a fair value exchange between you as a brand-publisher and your potential clients. Keyword rich content may improve your website ranking but it is unlikely to impress your audience.
