The
Ouster Marketing
approach to
Content Marketing
Now that we’ve gone over why you need content marketing to scale your business, let’s take a closer look at how we’re going to use it to help you achieve your most ambitious goals.
Discovery
Before we begin work on your Content Marketing campaign, we’ll get to know you, your family, your business, as well as your customers, goals, and desired outcomes.
Goals
Together, we’ll establish what you want to achieve with your Content Marketing campaign. Then we’ll create a set of S.M.A.R.T. Goals. Setting these goals will create the roadmap for your success.
Research
We’ll study your business, industry, and competition. If appropriate, we’ll speak with your customers and gather insights that don’t appear on computer screens. In addition to market research, we’ll audit your SEO and existing content, and analyze the available data relevant to your business. By the end of our research, we’ll understand your target customer and, most importantly, how to lead them to your products and services.
Content
Strategy
Now it’s time to create a content marketing strategy that resonates with your target customer and addresses the unique challenges they face. Motivated by research and data, we’ll create a blueprint which outlines, in very specific detail, the creative choices we’d like to make on behalf of your business. Of course, every creative choice we make will be approved, and influenced by, you.
Content
Production
With a well-researched content strategy in place, we’ll create the videos, blog posts, pictures, memes, gifs, graphics, and podcasts used to market your products and services—in a way that will inform, entertain, and build trust with prospective customers and current customers, compelling them to take action.
Publishing
After we create your content, we’ll publish it across your Website, Social Media accounts, Email Marketing Campaigns, PPC campaigns—and wherever else you find appropriate. In addition to publishing content, we’ll create and manage your PPC campaigns. And If you don’t have a website, don’t worry, we’ll develop one for you.
Outreach
Building links from high-authority websites relevant to your industry will increase the visibility of your website and get your products and services in front of more people on Google. With that being said, we’ll reach out to the websites, publications, and journalists relevant to your industry, and discover what opportunities are available for you.
Data
Reporting
We’ll create a visual data report that tracks the impact your marketing campaigns are having on the bottom line, as well as the improvements that can be made in the future. You’ll receive this data report every month, and you can use it to track the progress of your S.M.A.R.T. Goals.
Optimization
According to McKinsey & Company, the worldwide management consulting firm headquartered in New York City, “Companies that invest time and energy focusing on activating insights rather than just generating them have the greatest success.” In simple language, this means that analyzing data will not make your business more profitable––unless you do something actionable with that data. At Ouster Marketing, we’ll always be analyzing data and using it to make improvements upon your content marketing campaigns. Our insights, based on research and data, will inform every marketing tactic we use to grow your business. This means everything is set to change, including this step-by-step process you’re reading right now. There is no such thing as “best practices.” Content Marketing is rapidly changing, and you have to change with it.
