Domain Authority is Dead: How Pillar-Based Marketing Makes Legacy SEO Metrics Irrelevant

Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

If you had undeniable evidence that Domain Authority is irrelevant when it comes to the rankability of your organic content, what would you do differently as a marketer? If you could stop focusing on metrics that don’t matter for SEO, imagine how much more of your effort could be put into the one thing that matters: Developing content that ranks.

In this bold presentation from DemandJump’s Chief Solution Officer, Ryan Brock, we’ll dare you to evaluate how much stock you put into your website’s Domain Authority and why. Then we’ll prove once and for all that the lowliest of websites can topple the stiffest competition by following Pillar-Based Marketing methodologies.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• Why Domain Authority doesn’t tell us as much as we might think about a site’s ability to compete for top SEO rankings.
• How Pillar-Based Marketing shifts the concept of authority away from your own website and towards Google’s own search behavior data.
• The key to reaching Page One of search results for dozens of important keywords in a matter of weeks, not months.

The Road to Relevance

Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

“We need an eBook, an infographic, a video case study, and a product sheet!” is a familiar declaration on any modern marketing team. After all, the amount of content that needs to be produced to fulfill the requirements of a marketing program, especially an account-based marketing (ABM) program, can be overwhelming. When faced with the tall order of content production, the path of least resistance is product-centric, myopic pieces that make no attempt to appeal to the buyer’s humanity. While suboptimal in a traditional scenario, a lack of buyer insight in ABM content creation process will result in a total program failure.

In this session, Shelly Kulesza and Kathy Macchi will explain how to create a content strategy that is tailor-made to address the questions on the mind of your buying committee at each stage of the buying process. While content customization can be tedious, you’ll learn ways that technology can scale content personalization and delivery. The result? A relevant brand experience for the buyer, and a successful account-based marketing program for you.

In this session, you will learn:

• The differences between traditional B2B marketing and B2B account-based marketing.
• How to think about your content strategy as it relates to your targeted personas.
• Considerations for personalized content.
• How technology can deliver the right content to the right buyers at the right time.

The Transition to Google Analytics 4 and What It Means for Content Teams

Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

Google has caused headaches worldwide with the deprecation of Universal Analytics, forcing businesses to transition to the new Google Analytics 4 instance by June 2023. Not only did they break real-time analytics, but Google also announced that they weren’t going to fix it.

At Parse.ly, we’ve also heard complaints around transitioning accounts, getting used to the new UI, and not being able to surface the actionable insights that content creators need to succeed. TLDR (too long; didn’t read)? Google Analytics wasn’t created for content people and GA4 is even worse.

Case Study: How Brown Forman Optimized Their Creative Production Lifecycle

Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

Brand teams are expected to create more content than ever before, yet according to Forrester Research, 33% of B2C marketers say that deciding what content to make is the greatest challenge they’ll face over the next two years.
It’s a challenge because of the content black hole, a lack of visibility into not only where content internally resides, but also where it’s published and, most importantly, how it’s performing. Without these insights, brands continue to churn out content that isn’t optimized, and often never gets used.

In this webinar, Alex Nicolaica, Digital Director of Brown Forman, will discuss how they’re building efficiency across their asset production chain to drive creative excellence, including:

• Encouraging content reuse by improving findability
• Ensuring content compliance and consistency across channels and campaigns
• Streamlining the content creation process to improve speed to market
• Leveraging content performance insights and metadata to optimize future content creation
• The role of DAM and other technologies in supporting the asset lifecycle

Find Your Content Gaps: 5 Sources Reveal the Holes in Your Content Marketing

Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

A lot of content marketers think about their audience … and then pick a topic. The best content marketers use data to find content gaps … and then pick a topic.

We’ll start with quantitative research: Google Analytics and other tools:

• Content reports (what’s engaging but rarely published)
• Navigation summaries (what blog categories are most/least popular)
• Site search (what are they looking for but not finding)
• Plus, chat logs, heat maps and competitive analysis reports

And we’ll finish strong with a bit of qualitative research: listening to your audience directly.

By the end of this session, every attendee will be well equipped to pick their next blog topic confidently, knowing that the data behind the content/audience fit is on their side.

Don’t Play It By Ear: This Is How to Use Podcasts to Level Up Your Content Marketing Strategy

Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

The Drift team has been all-in on podcasts from Day 1.

That’s the beauty of podcasting done right. But for all their recent popularity, we’re firm believers that podcasts are being underestimated AND underutilized by B2B companies. Big time.

Like all things in marketing, podcasts shouldn’t happen in a silo. In this webinar, Drift’s podcast pros will share best practices for developing a podcast program that works WITH your broader marketing strategy (not against it, or worse, outside of it). You’ll hear what it takes to:

• Start your first (or fourth) podcast
• Integrate podcasts not just into your content marketing strategy, but your overall GTM strategy
• Make your podcast content go further

The B2B Buying Journey Has Changed. Make Sure Your Content Changes with It.

Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

Change: It’s an inevitable part of life and survival hinges on our ability to adapt. Take B2B marketing, for example. Companies have been following a traditional model to attract potential buyers: running various advertising campaigns, focusing on inbound marketing, deploying large sales organizations to cold-call and book meetings. However, B2B buyers have evolved their purchasing journey. Instead of being sold to, buyers now take a more proactive role in their search for products, solutions, and services, and are engaging with content like never before.

To meet these buyers at the right time and right place, B2B content marketers need to adapt their tried-and-true content strategies. In this session we will cover:

• The need to address the full buying team (which is scaling well beyond the individual decision maker)
• Shifts in awareness and research phase channels and content formats
• Sales cycle support
• Community and relationship building, post-purchase

Rethink Innovation®
Now Available On Demand | Free Webinar

How Successful Content Marketers Consistently Deliver High-Impact Ideas

We’ve all seen the examples of Apple’s product launches, IBM’s Watson, and the ALS ice bucket challenge. They’re held up time and time again as beacons of killer creativity. Enough already. It’s easy if you have sexy products, big budgets, and household brand names. But in the “real” world of B2B and tech there are all kinds of restraints. Those innovative examples don’t have anything to do with us.

Or do they?

It turns out, we all suffer from something called Brand Detachment Disorder (B.D.D.). We just can’t connect the dots between big-name brands and the work that we do. And this blindness kills creative ideas before we even get started. But guess what – the most brilliant minds understand that an innovation mindset is something you consistently nurture, rather than leave to chance.

We’ve invited Carla Johnson, Marketing & Innovation Strategist and Sridhar Ramanathan, COO and Co-Founder with Aventi Group to discuss how you and your team can rethink innovation, ignite creativity, and improve business outcomes.

Join us and learn:

• How to rethink everything you know about innovation
• Where to find inspiration that leads to your most brilliant work
• The process that makes new ideas feel less risky, so bosses and clients say, “YES!”
• Real-world examples of innovation in content marketing
• How to “supercharge” your team
