Use this B2B thought leadership content strategy (with Manuela Bárcenas)
Manage episode 428210074 series 3579554
Fellow.app has grown entirely entirely from inbound content marketing (and a PLG motion) over the last 6 years to thousands of users and $24 million in funding, and their Head of Marketing Manuela Bárcenas has owned the content strategy powering that from day one.
What started out as mostly an SEO-optimized article writing strategy to rank on Google, has now evolved into also including a heavy emphasis on modern content marketing for the 95% of buyers who are not actively looking for a solution yet (but are scrolling LinkedIn, listening to podcasts, reading newsletters, watching YouTube videos, and attending webinars that can help them level up their careers).
In this episode of 95% Content hosted by Erik Jacobson (CEO of Hatch.fm), Manuela shares their podcast, newsletter, webinar, and organic social playbook that has earned them trust with future buyers, a 30% increase in followers on LinkedIn, and pipeline and revenue growth that proves the ROI of this modern content-first strategy.
