B2B content syndication has been a popular way for companies to reach a broad audience, increase lead generation volume, and gain exposure. Most organizations depend on online publications and media agencies for content syndication. Since these agencies focus on a specific functional area, demographic, or industry vertical, they may have a sizeable base of subscribers.
But there are also many challenges that these publications bring about. Read on as we shed light on the current state of B2B content syndication and offer tips on the best ways of doing it.
The Current State of B2B Content Syndication
Content syndication offered by publishers or marketing agencies is often traditional in nature. They work with organizations to understand their requirements and publish content to drive traffic. Readers who wish to access any content are asked to opt in by sharing their contact details and other business information. Such opt-in cases are then available to the organization as “leads”.
While a large percentage of organizations rely on these publications, they tend to experience several issues:
An Alternate Way of Doing Content Syndication
In an age of information overload, organizations need to take a more direct and outbound approach to content syndication. Instead of engaging with mass scale publishers, they must partner with agencies that understand the criteria of the Ideal Contact Person (ICP) and are willing to customize based on such search and filters. Such agencies can tailor the outreach so that any prospect contacted fits within the specified criteria. By reaching out to the right types of titles or job functions, companies, and other qualifying criteria, organizations can ensure prospective leads meet all their conditions.
Such an approach has the potential to achieve higher levels of engagement, better conversion, and a lower cost of customer acquisition. It also allows organizations to craft a more efficient marketing program. It also enables them to meet the highest standards of data privacy as the list of leads is validated through an active opt-in process.
For instance, when an agency reaches out to a prospect through a voice call or direct 1-1 outreach, it solicits interest from the prospect after explaining what it is about. An opportunity is provided to the prospect to opt in, with the caveat that they may opt out at any time. Such an approach results in a lead that is:
Leveraging a combination of human + tech intelligence, such agencies can drive intent-based, targeted leads. Instead of relying on paid sources or third-party publishers, they can build net-new relevant audience on the organization’s behalf and interact with prospects to understand their content needs and get their consent. Such a targeted approach leads to more accurate leads that meet all the necessary criteria.
