How to Win the Content Marketing Marathon

One of the top challenges for B2B marketers is the creation of compelling content in the volume required to fuel lead nurturing programs, website content, blog posts, Twitter, webinars, videos, sales collateral and more. But it’s not just producing the content that’s challenging, it’s creating the kind of content that builds momentum in the buying process to develop more qualified leads worthy of sales pursuit.

According to IDC:

72% of B2B marketers surveyed indicate an increase in buying cycle time over the past six months, while the buying cycle timeframe has increased over 10% in the past 12 months

With buying now facilitated more often by online self-education and social exchanges, buyers are controlling when they engage, how often and to what extent. This means that B2B marketers need to continuously and consistently fuel online content marketing programs in parallel with their prospects.

Creating all that content can be a daunting task. But there are ways to lessen the load and make sourcing content easier without compromising the perceived value for your buyers.
