How to win fans and influence users.

@chrisbennett www.97thfloor.com #searchlove

I want to start off by thanking Google.

For cute fuzzy Pandas.

For weird birds that can’t fly.

For crazy fast mini birds that might as well be mythical creatures

For merging them into a team of utter destruction.

For letting them destroy that which we held dear.

Why?

Because we were forced to evolve

We used to Preach “Content is King”

While we were Practicing something different

Now we don’t have a choice

There is only method to rule them all

No more One Demensional KPI’s

HELLS YEAH!

Lets talk about how get approval

For freedom to try big things

Freedom to explore

Freedom to fail

First get approval for one small bit of content

Make your content interactive

Case Study in Interactive Content, http://www.desk.com/customer-service/how-to-improve-customer-service

Desk.com, awesome product that is widely used. Wanted a cool interactive way to explain benefits and really sell the product high in the Funnel.

We created an interactive explainer and the #’s are compelling.

In Analytics the Graphic was Broken into 4 parts. 40% of all traffic (even social) complete the entire interactive. Remember this information is 100% about Universal Inbox. It is 100% “on brand.”

Avg. Time on Page is 3.2 minutes (that is from all traffic even social).

Interactive can tell a long and complicated story in a more compelling easy to digest way.

Ranks in Google for awesome on brand phrases related to the product and the reaction is phenomenal

Even though it is very much on brand it is still getting a lot of social shares due to cool and unique factor.

You can put and track actual CTA’s on the graphic page. We track hovers over and clicks on CTA’s.

Think campaigns, not One off’s

One off’s are a lose-lose

If you are successful at first you will never live up to it

If you aren’t successful at first you will not win the business or budget

Campaigns are not new

Outside of digital you get bombarded

Why can’t we be the same?

Your thinking, “this is a lot of work”

Your already wearing multiple hats

=

Good ideas are a rare commodity

So get one and stick to it

Right now you are pitching

Multiple infographics !

Multiple Videos !

Multiple etc… !

Each month !

!

!

!

!

That’s way more work

So show your boss/client

How to win fans and influence users.
