Essential content marketing strategies

In the digital age, impactful marketing collaterals are key to B2B success. From eBooks and social media posts to product brochures and videos, these materials build trust and drive engagement. This article explores the importance of marketing collaterals, how to create standout visuals and tips for maximizing their impact.

Marketing collaterals are any media materials used to promote a company's products or services. These materials, often referred to as content, include eBooks, social media posts, product brochures, and videos. They play a crucial role in building trust and driving engagement in B2B marketing.

Visual content is processed 60,000 times faster than text, and viewers retain 95% of a video’s message compared to just 10% from text. Therefore, creating standout visuals is essential for effective marketing collaterals. Whether through moving images, infographics, photos, or animations, your message should be clear and recognizable across all channels.

In a connected world, your audience's attention is scattered across various channels. Understanding the nuances of your audience's digital and offline behavior is key to choosing the right channels for your marketing efforts.

• Online channels: Social media platforms, email, websites, and search engines are powerful tools to engage a global audience. Tailor your content to suit each platform.
• Offline channels: Traditional channels like print media, radio, television, billboards, and direct mail are still relevant. Understanding your audience's offline habits ensures a comprehensive reach.

Different audiences dwell on different platforms. Tailor your content to match the demographics and behavior of your target audience on each platform. Hyper-local campaigns, which combine online precision with offline tangibility, create a personalized experience that speaks directly to the hearts of your local audience.

• Pre-Production: Start with thorough planning. Define your goals, audience, and key messages. Develop a content calendar to ensure timely production and distribution.
• Production: Create high-quality content that aligns with your brand identity. Use professional design tools and techniques to produce visually appealing materials.
• Post-production: Optimize your content for different platforms. Ensure that videos are edited for clarity and impact and that printed materials are proofread and error-free.
