You use an SEO tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moz<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ahrefs<\/a> to identify high volume keywords, ideally with low difficulty, you write the content that satisfies the query for those search terms, and then over time, you rank for keywords, improve your search rank, and more and more people find your website organically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But nowadays, there are tons of other ways people organically find content: YouTube videos, niche communities and social media to name a few. Growing a content-based brand is entirely possible without any SEO efforts at all. (How many TikTok creators that you follow also write a blog?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enter: Modern content marketing. <\/strong>It\u2019s content marketing that may or may not leverage an SEO strategy. It\u2019s not dependent on SEO. Content might ultimately live on a video channel, a social media platform, a community, or even an online learning platform. It isn\u2019t written with the goal of ranking for a search term, but rather, it\u2019s optimized for impressions and reach. It\u2019s meant to be discovered and shared, often through social media. And the through line is that it\u2019s entirely audience-centric.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-10.09.56-PM-1024x575.png\" alt=\"Classic Content Marketing vs. Modern Content Marketing\" class=\"wp-image-8291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-10.09.56-PM-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-10.09.56-PM-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-10.09.56-PM-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-10.09.56-PM-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-10.09.56-PM.png 1652w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Where classic content marketing relies on keyword research to satisfy a searcher\u2019s query, modern content marketing relies on audience research to satisfy an audience\u2019s needs, desires, concerns, or pain points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classic content marketing\u2019s key distribution is SEO and works toward the goals of keyword rankings and search traffic. Modern content marketing tends to need social media as a top-of-funnel channel for distribution. It typically works toward other marketing goals, like brand awareness and affinity, engagement, audience growth, sales enablement, or some combination of these.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both approaches have their unique challenges. Where classic content marketing is beholden to search algorithms, modern content marketing is beholden to the whims of an audience and the social media algorithms. And if a given audience has the ever-changing desires for, say, original research, deep analysis and funny memes, the perceived value of the content is more subjective than it is objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part of all? You don&#8217;t actually have to choose one way of content marketing over the other. It&#8217;s ideal if you somehow combine them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really good modern content marketers know exactly where their unique point of view intersects with their audience\u2019s needs. But perhaps <em>the most successful<\/em> content marketers reconcile that point of view and audience\u2019s needs with those high-volume keywords \u2014 they combine the best of both classic and modern content marketing worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-9.53.52-PM-1024x573.png\" alt=\"The Venn diagram of great modern content marketing and incredible content marketing\" class=\"wp-image-8279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-9.53.52-PM-1024x573.png 1024w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-9.53.52-PM-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-9.53.52-PM-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-9.53.52-PM-1536x860.png 1536w, https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-9.53.52-PM.png 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience Research 101: Learn Your Audience\u2019s Interests and Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a content marketing strategy that\u2019s grounded in understanding your audience well, you\u2019d have to start with, well, audience research. Fortunately, there isn\u2019t just one way to do that. You can read niche blogs, trade publications, talk to your audience, talk to your customers, run customer surveys. All of these things help you learn more about your audience. I like to think of audience research as having two parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Static research: <\/strong>The mostly unchanging characteristics of your audience, such as firmographics and demographics. Of course, this can and will likely change over long periods of time, but rarely in weeks or months .<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dynamic research:<\/strong> Things that can and do change often, like the content and topics your audience produces, consumes, discusses, and shares.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To do static research, you can use data enriching tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/clearbit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clearbit<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fullcontact.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FullContact<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/blog\/sparktoro-demographics-3-underrated-ways-to-upgrade-your-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">learn more about the folks on your email list<\/a>, including the industries they work in, common job titles, what regions they\u2019re in, and more. You can also run customer surveys, and analyze your social media following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your dynamic research, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/app.buzzsumo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BuzzSumo<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/feedly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Feedly<\/a> to see what content is popular in a given audience. You can also use <a href=\"http:\/\/similarweb.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Similarweb<\/a> to find other popular websites, see some demographic data, and you can even <a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/resources\/videos\/how-to-build-competitive-comparison-reports-with-sparktoro-similarweb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">run some competitive analyses<\/a> to learn more about your audience and your competitors. And of course, you can use a tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/\">SparkToro<\/a> to find influential websites, social accounts, podcasts, and more. You can even see what topics people are discussing publicly online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you\u2019ll create lists of sources to learn from ongoing \u2014 like podcasts to listen to, social accounts that you should follow. This regularly published content will inform what conversations change and evolve among your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hone Your Point of View (Hint: It Starts With Your Core Values)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you keep up with your audience\u2019s interests and needs, think about how your brand\u2019s point of view fits in. What is your mission? What are your core values? How does all of that inform your point of view on the trends and topics in your industry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At SparkToro, <a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/blog\/sparktoros-mission-vision-and-values-belux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our core values are BELUX<\/a>. We set healthy boundaries for our team, data and product. We&#8217;re egalitarian and aim to make audience research available and affordable to everyone. We&#8217;re long-term focused, we&#8217;re uncomplicated, and we believe in setting an example for our industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"922\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/sparktoro-values-mission.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7062\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And yes, we think about how each of these values might shape our perception of a given marketing trend. For instance, during this past year as companies raced to become the next Twitter replacement and Meta launched Threads, it was hard not to feel like we had to give an opinion on early strategy. Yet in our healthy boundary-setting and long-term focused approach to marketing, we felt it important to say that <a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/blog\/maybe-the-best-threads-strategy-right-now-is-to-listen-and-learn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best early strategy for Threads was to listen and learn<\/a>, rather than bullishly stating that every marketer must have a strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, we also took a step back and surveyed our community to see who really had FOMO about Meta\u2019s Twitter competitor. When <a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/blog\/a-marketing-teams-faq-for-metas-threads-app-plus-findings-from-our-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we gathered the data, we also offered guidance<\/a> on how marketing teams can start to think about strategy, including questions to ask themselves and their team leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? A few thousand pageviews to our site, and hundreds of social media engagements. Sure, we\u2019re not ranking in a top three spot for \u201cThreads strategy\u201d (at the time of this writing, we\u2019re #9), but if we waited for publicly available data on keyword research (at the time of this writing, data on the \u201cThreads strategy\u201d keywords is not yet available on Moz) and then started moving, we would\u2019ve missed the boat on timeliness \u2014 and timeliness was a core need in our audience that we aimed to fulfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zero-Click Marketing: Think Distribution-First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the forefront of every piece of content you create, you should be thinking about distribution. I like to start with <a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/blog\/5-minute-whiteboard-zero-click-marketing-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">zero-click marketing<\/a>, as it helps me think through all of my channels or platforms, and the ways in which I would engage my audience and distribute my content natively. Rather than just the goal of sharing source content (like a blog post), I try to focus on sharing ideas or concepts. As a result, engaging with the source content becomes optional or additive to the audience\u2019s experience. Not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, our Threads blog posts weren\u2019t just links that we posted across social media. We engaged with our audience to distribute the survey, source early reactions, and ultimately shape the content. This was done through a couple of social media posts where, yes, people were invited to click on the survey. But many marketers also chose to leave their two cents in the replies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sparktoro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Screenshot-2023-08-20-at-9.54.03-PM-1024x576.png\" alt=\"LinkedIn posts by Amanda and by Rand that show us sharing our Threads survey.

Putting that into a framework to consider creation and distribution in the future, I\u2019d answer the questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who do I need this content to reach? (In my Threads example, this would be all marketers who care about content and\/or distribution channels.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where is this audience? (For me, this was other social media platforms.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can I reach them? What would resonate? Be compelling? (I made it clear what\u2019s in it for marketers, and rallied them behind a cause.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there an engagement or feedback loop I can create? (I opened a loop with a survey call-to-action, and closed the loop with a promise for follow-up.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do I make an impact or achieve a desired outcome? (I tried to make the findings interesting and the takeaways shareable so that people would read and amplify it.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these questions speak to an audience\u2019s needs, while also helping you think about how you can strategize a way to fulfill those needs. So take an audience-first approach to your content marketing. Ground it in your core values. And as you leverage zero-click principles, you\u2019ll not only distribute your content more easily, but you\u2019ll also create an organic flywheel that powers your ideation, engagement and distribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of us know the classic content marketing strategy to a tee.
