Embrace Hot Marketing Trends While Staying On Course

By Seismic March 27, 2014 3 min read

Whether you’re an amateur hiker or a skilled casual sailor, you know the importance of having a compass – any type of navigation tool – on you. This item can help you stay grounded and maintain a sense of direction on the go.

In your career, it can be easy to stray from the course. If you happen to be in the marketing sector, you’re likely aware of how quickly trends can change. Knowing how to balance the new with the old is essential to keeping yourself on track.

Embracing Content Marketing
Content marketing is still fairly new, and not everyone is familiar with how it contributes to marketing teams’ overall efforts. In order to ensure that it’s a part of your game plan (but not too much of it), you need to understand its mechanics.

“Trendy” is a good word to use when it comes to content marketing, but don’t be fooled – this isn’t a marketing tactic that will fade in and out with the times. Content marketing is here to stay, but what can it do for you?

Blogging, for instance, can potentially drive traffic to your company website. Creating unique pieces of content to offer to prospects and existing clients can help you expand your network. Socializing on sites such as Twitter and Facebook can enhance your reputation as a marketing industry leader.

In order to make your content marketing efforts as effective as possible, there are a few points you should keep in mind. Tony Zambito, a leading authority in buyer insights, writes on his website that it’s critical to stay dedicated to researching your target audience. It’s also a good idea to come up with a metric system to gauge the efficiency of content such as blog posts and social media updates.

As you embrace new styles of marketing with time, don’t lose sight of your compass. Remember the basics of marketing and your overall objectives as a team. You should always be working to make sure that your services meet the need of your customer. Continuously researching your target audience as it evolves can also ensure that your marketing efforts aren’t going to waste. Look at all of these steps as an investment toward your company as a whole.
