Below is a short list of what content marketers will need for 2014.
==> A content strategy that identifies audience, messages, timing, tone and channels. A strategy is designed to meet both project goals and audience interest. How will you use short and long-form content?
==> A schedule in the form of an editorial calendar that includes topic, writer, sales stage, keywords and due dates. The calendar keeps you focused.
==> Distribution channels that extend your content reach. Think about how you will deliver video content and slides, or sponsored content through trade publications.
==> Multimedia format to freshen more than your visual appeal. Go beyond the infographic to include sound, audience interaction and demonstrations.
==> Technical knowledge that leads to measurable results. Use your data to target, segment and personalize your content. Know what’s working and what is not.
