Roundtable: Struggling with Content Chaos?

Share

One day in 2012, Jamie Mendez, Director of Channel Marketing at IBM PartnerWorld, decided that her problems with partner engagement needed a modern solution. She approached IBM's longtime agency-partner, the TDA group, to craft this solution.

What was the problem?

IBM needed a way to have various executives across multiple business units, with diverse voices of their own, engage its channel partners with a unified, consistent style of presentations. The resulting concert should blend the disparate voices into singing to the same tune, namely the consistent style and voice.

Sounds familiar?

This problem is not unique to IBM. Many other organizations, large and small, face this challenge. Perhaps yours does too.

What ensued from the 2012 brainstorming is the launch of a blog in 2013 and accolades and awards in each of the following years, 2014-2016, for this solution.

Reader engagement is plentiful. Praises for the design ("The new design is terrific. Very clean, easy to read...Kudos to the PartnerWorld team!" -Libby Beemer; "...modern, slick & readable. Excellent!" -Anthony Mathenge), content ("Nicely articulated! " -Swati Moran; "Thank you for sharing the link to the IBM Digital Marketplace. That’s a very helpful online resource." -David H. Deans), and the overall program ("Great Program - Can drive fast growth for our Channel Partners." -Marc Beachler) are abundant.

Come and hear how IBM PartnerWorld created a unified strategy with the help of TDA Group, to showcase an array of executive voices, engage the channel and fuel social networks – while also winning awards along the way that speak to B2B editorial and design excellence.

bpv
Jamie Mendez of IBM and Nicole Sommerfeld of TDA double team as featured speakers for this roundtable where they will talk about their joint project and lead the ensuing discussion.

In this session Jamie and Nicole will cover:

  • How to create a content forum where you can showcase a diverse array of individual voices while still maintaining overall cohesion and unity
  • A real-world, award-winning working example of a content forum that is driving results
  • Best practices and tips to take your blog to the next level
  • How to measure success for this type of initiative

Some lessons learned from content streams other than IBM PartnerWorld may sneak into the discussions as well!

The best part is that you can shape the session with your own incisive comments and questions.

IDC studies show that most IT buyers are half way through the purchase timeline before they agree to meet with a saleperson. 1 in 7 of the buyers push it even further: they wait until they are 75% of the way in before agreeing to an initial contact! The pattern is similar with most business buyers of today.

So, the evidence is clear: In today's B2B, content is critical to build a strong sales funnel.

But we know not all content is created equal. So, many questions arise: Read more
