Five Content Marketing Lessons From the Red Bull Stratos Jump

On Sunday Felix Baumgartner passed the speed of sound as he broke a 52-year-old record for the highest recorded parachute jump.

econsultancy discusses some lessons we can take away from the jump:

Develop a story: Create a hook that will engage an audience.

Capture as much content as possible: RedBull captured as much video footage as possible to assist in further content promotion.

Provide content worth sharing – and introduce your audience to something new: Red Bull went further than simply integrating social buttons into their site. They provided great content which could be shared and used.

Get contact details for further communications: Red Bull has its own dedicated site for the press to use to gain photos, video, and fact sheets.

Spin-out content into the future: One of the mnemonics used within content marketing is COPE: Create Once, Publish Everywhere.

3 Components of a Content Marketing Editorial Calendar that Works

Here is a look at 3 components of a content marketing calendar that work.

1. Understanding what an editorial calendar is and is not: A good editorial calendar maps content production to our buyer personas, the engagement cycle, and the channels that we use.

2. Organizing the calendar: Set your calendar document up in the way that works best for you.

3. Developing the editorial style guide: Your “calendar” has another important function. You’ll want to develop an editorial style guide as a tool for your content creators, editors, and producers. This style guide can also develop into a social conversation style guide (in other words, a social media policy), which will provide guidelines for how people should respond and converse.

5 Ways Brands Use Pinterest To Authentically Connect

If you don’t think about strategy before you dive into Pinterest marketing, your pinning efforts are very likely to be a giant waste of time.

The first thing you need to do–even before you create your boards and pins–is to define your company’s Pinterest strategy.

Also, Define your ideal client, and what the needs of your ideal client are.

Becoming a Source of Valuable Information

Here’s an important news flash: No one actually cares about your products and services in and of themselves. People want to solve their problems, and that’s what they need or want your products and services for. Pinterest gives you the incredible opportunity to become a valued source of information to the folks you’re trying to reach. And if you view yourself as a source of information and ideas, rather than someone hawking your wares, you will be far more successful on Pinterest than if you focus only on promoting and pinning your own products and services.

Seven Tips to Increase Engagement with Online Video Ads

As people are becoming more comfortable watching video online, the power of video advertising is also growing.  Here are 7 tips for maximizing engagement with premium video advertising.

1. Keep branding discreet

2. Story matters most: marketers need to think more about the enjoyment a video offers to a viewer instead of how well it serves the brand.

While product managers may not agree, with online video the story matters more than the product.

3. Kick off with a bang: The window of opportunity for grabbing the consumer’s attention is small

4. Build an emotional roller coaster

5. Have multiple scenes

6. Surprise but don’t shock : people won’t share something that is too shocking or crude.

7. Target people that are prone to sharing and have a voice

New Sprinklr Feature: YouTube Playlist Accounts lets your team manage multiple VJs

Original MTV VJ Martha Quinn

MTV plays very few music videos these days, but do you remember when it seemed that video disc jockeys (or VJs) had the coolest gigs in the world?

Maybe you grew up with the original 1980s crew of Martha Quinn (pictured above), Alan Hunter, Mark Goodman (what great hair), J.J. Jackson and Nina Blackwood — or maybe you were a child of the 1990s video spinmeisters, Downtown Julie Brown, Kennedy and the wacky Jesse Camp.

Too bad most of those jobs are gone.  Or are they?

YouTube, of course, is an indispensable part of any social media campaign and it is likely that your brand is already managing a bunch of different accounts like a building superintendent with too many keys dangling from his belt.

Perhaps you have one YouTube account for a customer video contest, another for official company news, and yet another for product demos or internal training videos. Whatever the purpose, there are valid reasons to simultaneously open and maintain multiple YouTube channels at once.

Using Sprinklr’s YouTube Playlist Accounts, Community Managers can create separate individual playlists within the same YouTube Account. Part of being Social@Scale means that you are able to quickly manage multiple YouTube usernames and passwords, and more importantly, everyone on the social media/marketing team can look at everything the company is broadcasting on YouTube in a glance.

YouTube Playlist Accounts manages multiple users across multiple playlists, allowing two levels of access privileges:

  • YouTube Playlist Users can view all the brand’s uploaded videos in the Conversations> Channel window, in addition to respective Comments, Likes/Dislikes, Views, Embed Codes, Links, Tags and Privacy Settings.
  • YouTube Playlist Admins/Users have all of the above access in addition to privileges for uploading public or private videos.

YouTube Playlist Accounts helps streamline the video marketing process in one convenient location so your company is always speaking in one unified voice.

You might not become as famous as one of the old MTV VJs, but Sprinklr helps make sure your star will keep shining bright with your customers and co-workers.

New Sprinklr Feature: SlideShare Uploader Widget Spreads Company Presentations More Efficiently

In May, SlideShare received the ultimate endorsement of its business platform to share documents, videos, webinars and slide presentations. LinkedIn shelled out $119 million to acquire the company, which was launched in 2006 as a way to network and generate business leads by giving away useful in-depth content.

SlideShare is also comforting evidence that not all business communication has been reduced to a 140-character Tweet. According to TechCrunch, at the time of the sale there were already 7.4 million presentations embedded across more than 1.4 million unique URLs.   Prominent users include WhiteHouse.gov, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, NASA, the United Nations, Pfizer, Dell, Hewlett Packard, IBM, McGraw-Hill, Royal Dutch Shell and Blackberry (RIM).

SlideShare was also named one of the Top 10 Learning Tools of 2011 by Britain’s Centre For Learning & Performance Technologies, which focuses on education, training and workplace learning.  As such, the tool is widely used on global companies’ intranet networks.

There are numerous natural applications for this sharing platform within every company, spanning from Human Resources to Marketing to Sales.

So how does Sprinklr improve your SlideShare experience?

Sprinklr’s SlideShare Widget encourages employees to share relevant presentations with the entire company or customers through an Uploader on an intermediary webpage instead of through the company’s SlideShare account or Sprinklr account.

A pilot doesn’t want to give all his or her crewmembers, no matter how trustworthy, a turn to grab the controls in the cockpit.

The SlideShare Widget lets Business Executives and Content Managers efficiently set parameters on how SlideShare presentations are shared and who ultimately gets to see them — without compromising the security of their entire social media platform.

The SlideShare Uploader Widget can be embedded on your chosen webpage with an iFrame code you can cut and paste from the Widget Manager.

Being Social@Scale means reaching out to your audience where THEY want to hang out. SlideShare is now reporting 60 million monthly visitors and expect much more integration with LinkedIn over the coming months.

Let the sharing begin!

4 Ways to Create Content that Sells

When it comes to business blogging, there is content, and then there is content that sells.  Here are 4 ways companies can create blog content to bring in more sales.

1. Teach with story and sell with subtleness: Customers want an answer to “What’s in it for me?” If our content only talks about how great a job we did on a project but doesn’t teach, we’re not likely to get the best results.

2. Teach with Video:

3. Teach with Urgency (and call to Action): In some cases, the services or products in your field may be time-sensitive, at which point you can take advantage of urgency and allow time, or the lack thereof, to be on your side.

4. Teach Through Comparison
