When your marketing team is focusing on the channels rather than the primary asset, the content, you loose the ability to understand the quality of your leads coming from your site. You don't know what they have seen, where you think they are going, and why they are where they are. Being able to have a ledger of content consumption habits of this user and comparing that to where you want them to go and what others have found valuable, you really start to be able to drive customer journeys.

In this podcast, Nick Edouard discusses the need for triggering content assets that are part of a journey to drive the bingeing habits of site visitors for greater engagement and giving them more control over the journey.

We also answer the following questions:

Why is Content Marketing software needed?
Where does the Content Management System fit in?
How do we bring content together that is spread throughout the web?

Not all Content Marketing software is the same. If you buy a CMS, CRM, or Marketing Automation platform, there is a particular set of problems each is tasked to complete to be in that category, but that is not so in Content Marketing software. Near the end, we get into a topic that is near and dear to my heart, the interoperability of MarTech vendors and the need for a Knight's Round Table conference for beginning the conversation about how we can work together in harmony for the health of the stack and customers, rather than be in an arm's race and be competing with companies that we should not actually be competing with.

Biography:

Nick has previously founded or led several high-growth technology companies in Canada, the US and the UK including Broadreach Networks (acquired by QinetiQ) and Macropolitan (acquired by Arqiva). He was most recently President, North America of Nomad Digital, the leading global provider of connectivity solutions to the transportation sector. A frequent speaker at conferences and events, Nick holds an MA (Hons) degree in Classics & Philosophy from Trinity College, University of Oxford. He’s still figuring out what to do with it.

Let's face it, we are in strange times when it comes to creative, design, and digital asset development. From the marketing teams perspective, for nearly a century, they have relied on some form of advertising agencies to augment their team's capabilities to deliver results. From the business perspective, for nearly a century, they have relied on some form of consulting firms to augment their team's capabilities to deliver results. From the IT teams perspective, for half a century, they have relied on the software development firms to augment their team's capabilities to deliver results.

Now, in 2017, the responsibilities of these three units have been passed off in some form to the marketing team when it comes to strategy, systems, and creative used to reach customers. Since the primary outside resource for this team was the agency, we have seen many different forms launch in this new competitive landscape. Companies like Deloitte, Avanade, Accenture, HP, IBM, Microsoft, and so many others are stepping into the world of WPP, Ogilvy, and the likes for a showdown of historic proportions.

With this collision, an interesting problem has arisen with pricing. Consulting firms have used a time-and-materials model where every second a team focuses on a client, a rate is assessed. Agencies have embraced either a monthly retainer or fixed-bid model to have specific pricing decided up front and "guaranteed" in some form or fashion with changes orders passed around and arguments to follow.

In this podcast, Paul Roetzer, founder of PR 20/20, and Jeff Julian, founder of Squared Digital, will discuss the problems with these pricing models and introduce a new approach to agency pricing that both companies have found independently and based on agile methodologies.
