The Marketing Book Podcast
Chris Moody, Head of Global Content Marketing at Cheetah Digital, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss balancing lead gen with brand building.
Build the Brand
Is your content strategy centered around brand building or demand gen? According to Chris Moody of Cheetah Digital, the answer should be, “Both!”
As analytics have become more ingrained into every avenue of content marketing, the tendency for most content creators is to shift the focus towards generating leads. It is certainly easier to measure these effects, but as Chris Moody says, there’s no point in gathering leads if no one knows who you are.
No one is saying that lead gen is less important, but content for the purpose of brand building is just as crucial. By giving equal attention to both within your content department, you can gather leads with a firm branding foundation and ultimately help your sales team win.
In This Episode
- How to set up a content department in an already established business.
- How to balance brand building and lead gen within the content department.
- Why branding and demand gen must work hand-in-hand.
