  4. Sample Default Slide Master)

  5. B2C Content Marketing Case Study Pepsi Refresh Monitor web for project mentions, assess sentiment. “What consumers say about us is more important than anything that we say. It’s an indexed competitive score looking at how our brand is doing compared to our competitors, indexed on a hundredth scale. The formula accounts for volume and sentiment, and then weighted by platform." –Shiv Singh, PepsiCo

  6. B2B Content Marketing Case Study Eloqua Company closed $2.5 million in annual contracts from clients who downloaded 2010 Grande Guides, additional $3.2 million in contract stage. People who discover Eloqua through its content are 21% more likely to view a demo and more likely to be VP level or higher than the average site visitor, i.e. “quality leads”

  7. Figure Out What You Want to Measure & Why You Want to Measure It • Subscribers • Fans • Likes • SEO (visibility; ranking; as traffic source) • Leads (quality; lifetime value; customers referred by existing leads) • Sales (volume; dollar value; length of sales cycle) • Traffic • Conversions (Sales? Subscribers? Leads?) • User/Lead/Sales Acquisition Costs

  8. One Approach: Assign a Dollar Value to Each KPI •   The average chair costs $500 •   Analytics show 50 people start the process of purchasing a chair online every day, but only 10 finish the process •  User research shows the instructions on the purchase pages are very confusing •  We assume 5-10 people leave the purchasing process because of something unrelated to the site. 5-10 leave the process when they see shipping costs • We assume the remaining 20-30 people would complete the purchasing process if instructions were more helpful • Ergo, the value of the instructional content is likely c. $300,000 - $450,000 per month ($500 X 20-30 people X 30 days) • The cost of fixing the content is approximately $25,000 Source: BrainTraffic
