The Cornerstone of Content Marketing
Successful creative content marketing strategies can be broken down into three distinct phases:- Discover: How does your audience find content?
- Consume: What type of media helps you optimize for that experience?
- Act: What will inspire your audience to take action? How do you want people to feel when they consume content? People act on emotion.

Odden shared fantastic takeaways for participants who may struggle with the creative aspect of content marketing. Inspiring people to share and socialize can happen in a number of ways and the more creative you are (within reason), the better the chance of success.- Visualize Trends: Export data on trends such as SEMrush, Google's Keyword Tool, Majestic SEO, and Ubersuggest. Visualize these trends so content is easier to consume. Tools like Wordle and TweetCloud are great for this.

- Frontline staff: Utilize your human capital and assets to create content across sales, customer service, and marketing departments.
- Become a publisher: Think like a publisher, act like a publisher, become a publisher. Source content from magazines (recurring features, themes, short form and long form) newspapers (timely, objective, sensational) and television (storytelling, recaps, previews)
- Customer Journey: Map, produce and optimize content based on your customers journey and pain points as they move through the buying cycle.
