Content Marketing Metrics – From Engagement to Conversion
Content marketing metrics are tricky. Here are 15 metrics to see how effective your content strategy is, as well as how to optimize.
Understanding content consumption trends and the modern buyer’s journey can help us create better, more efficient content. Iron Horse’s Amber Keller and NetLine’s David Fortino explored the state of B2B content consumption, trends in buyer behavior, and the marketing strategies that will be successful in 2024.
Originally aired on February 13th, 2024.
The demand for gated B2B content is growing—rapidly.
Demand is up 77% over the past 5 years. The market is thirsty for differentiated, high-production, high-value content.
It’s critical to balance gated and ungated content.
Your ungated content should lead buyers to more substantial questions that can be answered in your gated content.
The content consumption gap is increasing.
The time between a prospect registering for a piece of content and actually consuming it is growing. Any follow-up activity needs to account for this gap.
If it’s a gate and no one wants to fill it out, they’re not all that committed to learning about whatever was there, or you’ve done a very poor job of articulating the value in a significant enough way that compels them to feel like it’s an equitable exchange of my data for your great content.
David Fortino brings a wealth of expertise in developing strategic distribution partnerships. His core strength lies in expanding targeted and contextually relevant audiences through strategic relationships and channel partnerships spanning leading industry marketplaces.
Most recently, Fortino was Director of Business Development for NetLine, effectively growing the TradePub.com partner network to over 4,000 active and targeted distribution sites.
