Purchase options and add-ons
DISTINGUISHED FAVOURITE: NYC Big Book Awards 2017
Content, in all its forms, is the single most critical element of any marketing campaign. Finding a successful equilibrium between content marketing and content strategy is difficult, but essential. Content - The Atomic Particle of Marketinggoes beyond superficial descriptions of how to produce engaging social media content to offer the results of many years of deep quantitative research, and hours of interviews with senior marketers at some of the world's leading brands.
Written by a recognized industry thought leader, Content - The Atomic Particle of Marketing explores how content functions in the broader framework of all marketing, as well as organizational concerns and IT decision making. It demonstrates the value content brings not only to "owned" media initiatives, such as a company website or blog, but also the essential role content plays in all other marketing initiatives, from social media to advertising to offline channels.
It will enable readers to make the organizational, staffing, tools and process decisions necessary to get content up and running across divisions and organizational silos. Deeply researched and insightful, Content - The Atomic Particle of Marketing is, quite simply, the definitive research-based guide to content marketing.

It truly is a difficult thing to pull off - to operationalize content marketing - but there are a number of case studies provided that show it's worth the effort. I wish I had bought the physical copy of this instead of the Kindle, so that I could share with my marketing team, but I can certainly pass along some of the key strategies (or loan them my kindle!)
Supporting her ideas with examples, graphs, and current case studies, she identifies the methods for unifying content expression across all channels into a coherent approach.
As I write for an organization that is currently struggling through a content audit, I am thrilled to see a step-by-step analysis of this complex topic. I will definitely be sharing the book with my team.
doses that I got and loved.
At the beginning of the book the author explains that 10 years ago, the perceived secret sauce of marketing was search. Before that, it was email. And for the past five years or so, social media has been the shiny object. Suddenly, all that is changing again. Marketing, she explains, can't be cutting edge in the digital sphere unless it's connected to the word “content.”
And for a long-time leader in content marketing like Rebecca Lieb, while she’s delighted that there’s a growing acknowledgment and understanding of the power of content marketing, there are a number of issues that companies are still struggling mightily with that she addresses in the book including:
Why marketers should shift their funds toward content and away from paid channels. The difference between content marketing and content strategy and why companies are wasting a fortune on the former because they don’t have the latter. The convergence of paid, earned and owned media and why the marketing effectiveness of organizations that don’t understand this convergence is suffering. Why companies are making a costly mistake when they organize content around their existing organization instead of organizing around the content. Why companies with a culture of content are more successful in both their marketing initiatives and other success benchmarks such as sales, employee advocacy, customer service, audience engagement, thought leadership and hiring.
If you’re new to content marketing or are perhaps on the fence about what must seem like yet another marketing buzzword, this book will help you firmly understand that content, in all its forms, is the single most critical element of any marketing campaign. And that’s not going to change.

Moreover, almost all the examples are quite dated for a book that has just been published - even from 2011 and 2012; and again almost all of them were covered in a rather shallow manner.
Last but not least, there is an extremely strong bias against 'advertising' especially at the beginning of the book, making someone think that if you advertise it'll hinder your operations. Later on the book rely on paid media heavily, which i found amusing... This may eventually be a result of semantics too...
As the writers claim themselves to be consultants though i am sorry, there would be no business for them over here...
