Content Marketing

Major Types of Content That Manny Should Use In the Report

According to Hilker (2017), content marketing is marketing a brand or business by sharing insight, entertainment, or educational information to make a purchase decision. One of the main elements of successful content marketing is creating a content marketing strategy based on the business or organization’s goals (Repovien?, 2017). One of the types of content marketing that Manny should use in the report is infographics. According to Rowe (2017), infographics include stacking a lot of information into one image in a visually appealing way to catch the intended audience’s attention. Manny should create an infographic summarizing the importance of content marketing to the company, the estimated budget, and its alignment with the company’s marketing objectives. Manny should also use reviews and testimonials on the success of content marketing in businesses to convince senior management to approve the content marketing idea. Manny may share a link to sites where the testimonials have been posted and take a screenshot of important reviews on content marketing.

How Manny Could Help Tamika Persuade Senior Management to Approve the New Budget

Manny would help Tamika persuade senior management by finding case studies on companies that have increased market share and sales using content marketing. They also need to justify the need to purchase photos to use in content marketing due to the rank of photos as the most effective content in content marketing. Butow et al. (2020) argue that selecting an image for content marketing requires understanding the medium in which the image will be used, published, and consumed. Photos in content marketing can be generated through creating graphics, purchasing high-quality images, and photographing (Isa, 2014). Macy’s digital marketing department should consider purchasing images because picking images from the internet may require brand permissions and may not give the company access to a unique image that another brand has never used before.
