Webinar recording – Content strategy development: Aligning content with a marketing funnel

About the webinar

In this one-hour webinar, Tech Champion for Digital Marketing and Strategy, Ollie Couling, will guide you through techniques for developing a content marketing strategy, that is oriented towards realising a long-term outcome.

Illustrated through a cultural case study, we will cover the importance of setting clear objectives, and how key results influence the type of content created. We will consider the impact that audience needs and motivations have on content strategies. We will look at internal and external factors that might shape the design of content plans.  

 As a central theme running through the webinar, we will demonstrate how to use a marketing funnel to structure and align content strategies around common stages in a customer journey.  

 The webinar will help you to: 

  • Assess your current content marketing activities. 
  • Develop an approach for planning your content marketing.   
  • Deliver customer-focused content. 
  • Align content with your strategic objectives.
