Why Most Branded Content is Just Awful

Screen Shot 2013-08-20 at 4.58.51 PMStiles Says: Yay Joe for being bluntly honest!  I would add brand content sucks because they’ve failed to hire entertainers and journalists to execute it.

  • 9 in 10 organizations produce content.
  • Most is flat out awful.
  • Only 1 in 3 marketers themselves think the content they develop is effective.
  • No Strategy – there should be one based on objectives, the info needs of the audience, and an idea of how you’re going to measure it.
  • No Focus – quit trying to boil the ocean.  Create many small, targeted content strategies.
  • No Accountability – you need someone accountable for the brand story.
