Let's talk about Marketing

Sales enablement is a priority for many businesses right now, to the point where it’s almost a buzzword. There are tools, strategies, and even entire job roles in businesses' dedicated exclusively to sales enablement. But is there really such a thing as sales enablement? The answer is both yes and no— sales enablement exists as a goal, and there are plenty of tools and resources designed to help with that.

Resource pages should exist to help buyers buy, or users help themselves. They can also be a boon to SEO efforts if done correctly. Why else would we put these resources on our websites? The truth is, however, resource sections are often an afterthought. Over time, they can become the junk drawer of our websites. By defining our objectives and understanding what we can accomplish with resource sections, we can structure the best resource page possible.

Rebranding is a big deal. Whether you’re only changing your brand’s visual look and logo or you’re going for a total rebrand (complete with new messaging, audience focuses, unique selling proposition, and maybe even an actual new brand name), you’re making intentional changes that can impact how users may perceive you. Any kind of rebranding is a high-stakes activity. It also is often expensive and time consuming, even if you’re doing a smaller revamp instead of a complete overhaul of your brand.

When you’re going through a rebranding process, you need to get your internal team on board. While that may not sound as difficult as developing a rebranding strategy and revamping your brand (however extensively), it can actually be a significant challenge for plenty of businesses. Simply put: If your own team doesn’t buy into your rebrand, your customers won’t, either. Everyone needs to commit to it, and that may mean selling the new branding to your internal team members much like you will your customers.

Rebranding is exciting. It’s also a lot of work, and while most of the attention goes into the effort of the rebrand itself, what comes after can be just as overwhelming and time-consuming. We’re referring specifically to updating all of your assets after a rebrand. There are so many aspects of your business’s asset inventory spread across multiple channels, which may include videos, podcasts, brochures, blog posts, mobile apps, website presence, directory listings, autoresponder email campaigns, and more.

How to Pick an Agency for Rebranding Rebranding is no easy task. It’s like a home renovation project: It’s expensive, time consuming, requiring some destruction and revamp, and it can even be a little messy. As a result, it’s common for businesses to consider working with a rebranding agency to help with the task at hand. A rebranding agency is unbiased, they’re experienced, and they know exactly how to get the job done.

Missed deadlines, sloppy content, and playing constant catch-up with freelance writers are signs that your project management is non-existent. As a result, your team’s efficiency and content production take a hit. As a content manager, juggling multiple freelancers can be a tiresome task. There are many ways in which you can streamline this process—from using project management tools to giving writers access to internal marketing collateral. In this article, we’ll explore eight tips from those who’ve been where you are so that you can meet deadlines, maintain content quality, and keep your content production on track.

Every content manager we’ve spoken to has one issue with production: terribly written first drafts. Does this sound familiar to you? Then you’re not alone. It boils down to a lack of standardized content production processes. The production process is tedious, and that only worsens if you don’t have the right systems in place. To avoid this, create a solid content production workflow, and incorporate a key ingredient to set your strategy into motion: the content brief.

Google’s front page is a battleground. With more and more companies prioritizing SEO as a marketing channel, competition is only getting tougher. It’s no longer enough to just have a great product page or well written blogs. Content hubs are one of the best ways to cut through the noise and distinguish your business from the rest, both to your customers and to Google’s algorithm. Why? Great SEO content hubs provide excellent user experience, invaluable linking opportunities to strengthen your site, and a chance to revitalize your existing content into top-performing pieces.
