The Juice is one of the best content distribution platforms for B2B marketers targeting sales professionals or other marketers.
With no additional lift from your team, The Juice distributes your content to an engaged marketing and sales audience, reaching ideal audiences easier, and reports back on sourced revenue.
It wasn’t long ago that content marketing was the new shiny object in B2B marketing circles. Marketing teams would hire their first content marketer to fuel their inbound strategy and it worked! Content marketing was bringing future customers to our digital doorsteps at a rate that validated marketing’s investment in content.
Content marketing’s success led to content marketing’s growth and teams started to form. B2B marketing teams turned into content factories churning out several new pieces of content each week. The hamster wheel approach to content marketing worked until everyone started to do it.
Here are some numbers that we can’t get out of our minds:
🧃Forrester stated $119 B would be spent by CMOs on content marketing in 2021
🧃High Alpha did a poll and 60% of marketers said they create a new piece of content each day
🧃There’s nearly 10,000 Martech companies with content marketing teams on Scott Brinker’s 2022 Martech landscape.
The rise of content marketing in B2B is a great thing, right? …not so fast.
The content factory mindset across B2B has left our audiences overwhelmed. The people who we are building for are on content overload. The result is most of the content that we publish goes unseen and ends up in internet purgatory.
Instead of taking the archaic, content factory approach to production it’s time for all creators and brands to be more mindful of how content distribution becomes a primary focus of their marketing strategy. There’s a seismic shift happening in content marketing and great content distribution is helping brands separate.
It’s all about getting your content in front of the right audience at the right time. It starts with a mindset shift. Gone are the days where the content factory approach is going to help you get to the next level. We have entered an era in content marketing where we have to be on offense and it starts with content distribution.
SiriusDecisions (acquired by Forrester) did a study where they found that 60-70% of content produced by B2B marketing departments goes unused. More than half and then some!
Let’s think about that for a minute.
We invest all of this time, money, and energy into building content and content software, but don’t have any sort of plan to make sure that we are getting it in front of the right people. Not only is the content we’ve poured all of our energy into sitting in your CMS collecting dust, but if we get to the point where we start thinking about investing in distribution the first thing we do is turn to content syndication…the lazy, outdated way to try to find reach.
Modern content distribution is important because of the mindfulness it puts on the consumer. It’s not a batch-and-blast strategy. It’s a culture shift with how you promote your content. It takes thought, research, and great copywriting to execute. It’s anti-content syndication, pro-content distribution software. It forces the creator to think critically about the channel and customize messaging around that piece specific for the specific audience members they are trying to reach. Being great at modern content distribution takes time. It’s also about earning trust which builds connections. It’s not about generating a bunch of bad leads that you can upload into your CRM and call it a day.
Having a content distribution strategy gives you the opportunity to be on offense with your content. It helps modern day marketers avoid that feeling of being stuck as the lead operator in a content factory. Modern content distribution strategy is NOT a batch and blast strategy. Moreover, modern content distribution seeks to drive affinity. You can’t force your way to winning the hearts and minds of your audience. You must earn trust first.
Content syndication has long been the go-to content distribution channel of choice for B2B marketers, but all it ever did for us is generate a high-volume of low-quality leads that the Sales team just complained about later. It’s a batch-and-blast option, lacking the modern touch, and trust.
We love co-marketing, and we’ll always recommend it. Partnering with non-competitive companies that have similar audiences is a fantastic way to distribute your content. The downside of co-marketing is that it takes lots of human resources, planning, and logistics. It’s not very scalable.
