Sarah O’Grady, Head of Global Social Strategy at Lenovo, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss taking risks with content and turning employees into advocates.
It’s All About the Quality
It’s easy to find a cheeseburger. In any state, in any town, at just about any corner, you can find a cheeseburger. Now, it may be flash-frozen fast food for 99 cents, but it’s a cheeseburger.
However, to find a cheeseburger that makes an impact, one that really captures your attention and makes you crave more, that’s a bit rarer. This may not be a perfect analogy, but one can certainly draw plenty of parallels to the current state of content marketing.
Content is everywhere, but to capture the attention of new customers, and keep the attention of customers you already have, you have to create something truly noteworthy. Much like the local five-star restaurant with a two-month reservation wait, it’s the quality that creates excitement, not the ability to create “over 99 billion” pieces of mediocre content.
