Move to the Beat,
Coca-Cola's Crowdsourced Success.
01 Coca-Colas Story: Move to the Beat
In preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympic
Games in London, Coca-Cola launched Move
to the Beat, the single largest Olympics campaign
in the companys history. Coca-Colas multimedia
campaign showcased millions of original and
crowdsourced videos from loyal fans around
the world. These user-generated works were
compiled into a 30-minute television show that
was broadcasted in 40 major markets globally.
Coke reached 45 million viewers on YouTube
alone and ensured that 70% of the engaged
audience actually fell within their target
demographic of 13 to 24 year-olds.
Why was Coca-Colas Olympic campaign
so successful?
Move to the Beat had all the trademarks of a
genius content distribution strategy. By carefully
identifying their business goals, producing content
that aligned with their brand, and then distributing
that content in places their audience actually spent
time, Coca-Cola hit the sweet spot of content
marketing.

02 Getting Started
CettIng Started.
01 Knowing what to say
The rst step here is to identify your business
goals. What are you trying to achieve with your
content? You might be trying to increase user
engagement, boost brand awareness, promote
thought leadership, or drive leads. Whatever your
goal may be, content must be carefully created and
curated to balance what you want to communicate
(product promotions, events, news) and what your
reader will nd valuable.
02 Knowing what the audience
wants to consume
Independent of editorial or marketing goals,
understanding your audience is critical to
successful content distribution. What are the
day-to-day problems for your audience? Are you
speaking to them as individual consumers or as
representatives of a B2B or B2C brand? Are they
signing the invoice or do they need to inuence
purchase decisions up the chain of command?
Ideation to distribution of your content should be
tailored to your target consumer.
03 Knowing how and where
they spend their time
Its important to grasp consumption behaviors.
When are consumers interacting with the most
content? Do they consume your competitors
content? How are they discovering it? Analytics
can provide useful insight into these behaviors and
uncover valuable trends. Psychographic data is
readily available from social and search analytics
tools.
Remember: There is no one formula for creating
an efective distribution strategy. Tactics will vary
based upon your business goals, industry, content
type, and resources.

Ad Networks
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is the most
common, paid method for boosting your brands
visibility online. PPC promotes content online
that attracts clicks from userswhen a user clicks
on the ad, the marketer pays per click. There are
two types of PPC ads: search and content.
Search PPC requires the marketer to select
specic keywords that, when searched by a
potential consumer, will cue the display of paid
search ads for your companys website. The
most common ad exchange is Google Adwords,
but there are many others including Bing Ads by
Microsoft. The marketer must pay a given amount
each time an ad is clicked so selecting relevant
keywords that attract viable leads is key. While
traditionally, paid ads often drive to a companys
product page or e-commerce site, now marketers
are increasingly using paid advertising to promote
content. Why does this work? Readers are more
inclined to click on useful or informative content
over blatant promotions.
Content PPC ads appear as content on sites, often
underneath similar articles in a Related Articles
widget. Many diferent ad networks have harnessed
content PPC such as Outbrain, Gravity, Clicksor, and
OneSpot.
?3'( !)"/(#/3'
01 For search PPC, select your keywords
carefully. Keep in mind what your target
audience may be searching.
02 Engaging copy is vitally important
to successful PPC advertising. The best
advertising text includes a call to action and
the same keywords that the user originally
typed into the search bar.
03 Paid advertising works particularly well
at the beginning of a campaign when youre
trying to ramp up initial engagement with
a piece of content. If you can boost initial
engagement, your content may be featured
on most read lists, blog posts, or a sites
hompage. This will drive further organic
trafc that is earned, not paid.

Paid Advertising
Via Social Networks
Many social networking sites, in addition to
providing free promotional platforms, also
feature paid ad channels for brands to harness.
LinkedIn ads and sponsored updates, promoted
Tweets, accounts, and trends, and sponsored
Facebook updates and ads are just a few that
allow for highly targeted content distribution.
In NewsCreds experience, LinkedIn has been
a valuable distribution tool due to its growing
popularity and evolving marketing products.
85% of member engagement on LinkedIn is
with content. Compared with Twitter and
Facebook, LinkedIn generates the highest
visitor-to-lead conversion rate -- thats nearly
3x higher. Outside of NewsCred, other brands
are experiencing superior results on LinkedIn.
A targeted and engaged audience is key to
company success. LinkedIn company page
followers were 2x more likely to purchase from
and recommend the company. Meanwhile,
B2B conversions were 4x higher on LinkedIn
than on Twitter and Facebook.
While weve experienced success with LinkedIn,
brands should test multiple ad types across
multiple social channels to see what works best
for their marketing strategy.
?3'( !)"/(#/3'
01 Carefully consider the cost-per-click
of each distribution method, not all social
platforms are created equal.
02 Paid social campaigns can get
expensive. As marketers on a budget, its
often wise to drive people to gated content
so that your social.eforts can be used as a

Type of Ad Benet for Brands What to Measure
2013 NewsCred 11
Native Advertising
Native advertising, sometimes known as
branded content campaigns, result from
strategic partnerships between brands and
publishers. This type of relationship requires
a hefty nancial investment on the brand
side. The brand will pay a publisher for access
to its audience, with the ability to merge its
own content into the user experience of the
publishers website. This can range from a
sponsored post to an entire editorial section
depending on your budget.
Remember: good content marketing fuels native
advertising. Native isnt just about placement,
its about content that feels indigenous to the
platform where its displayed on and authentic
to the readers who consume information there.
For example, in June 2013, General Electric
partnered with BuzzFeed to promote GE
Aviations presence at the Paris Air Show.
The resulting Flight Mode allows visitors to
explore the BuzzFeed site in FlightMode -- via
a self-navigated airplane that ies over a grid
of BuzzFeed articles. The page also includes
other ight-themed content to complete the
experience. Considering that the campaign is
for a trade show, BuzzFeed, a highly trafcked,
consumer-facing site, may not seem like the
most logical publisher to partner with. According
to BuzzFeed President and COO, Jon Steinberg,
people in positions to make purchases in the
aviation eld like engaging content and the
same fun stuf as everyone else.

Lead Nurturing
Lead nurturing is the process of building
business relationships with prospects early in
the buying cycle. While the prospect may not be
ready to buy, the ultimate goal is to develop a
strong rapport to earn their trust when they are
ready to purchase your product. Lead nurturing
begins when a prospect lls out a form for your
website, white paper, newsletter, or sales inquiry.
The relationship is maintained through periodically-
timed communications (newsletters, calls, emails)
that continue through the sales cycle.
Lead nurturing is easily executed through marketing
automation platforms like Marketo and Hubspot.
It relies on a series of communications that are
targeted and distributed based on demographic,
behavioral actions, and the stage of the sales cycle.
Personalize content to a segmented
audience based on their industry, web
behavior, job, function, or vertical.
Automatically serve content based on
the prospects stage in the buying cycle.
Continually track the prospects

SEO Strategies
SEO is the act of leveraging targeted keywords
to ensure that your website or article can
be found in search engines. SEO requires a
combination of tactics to guarantee visits to your
content. To secure a higher ranking in search
engine results pages (SERP), its imperative to
build Pagerank. Pagerank is the process that
Google uses to determine the importance of
a given website based on relevant keywords
or phrases. The way to build Pagerank is
to increase inbound links to your domain.
Essentially, SEO helps search engines gure
out what each page on the web contains, and
how useful it might be to users.
?3'( !)"/(#/3'
01 Determine the relevant keywords for the
particular piece of content you are distributing
and tag and title it accordingly. This means
identifying the major themes and topics for
your content.
02 Always use the desired keyword in the
headline.
03 Include the keyword at least once near top
of the content piece, within the rst 100 words.
04 Use the keyword at least three times in
the body copy. The amount of times the
keyword should be referenced is relative to the
length of the article. The longer the article, the
more times you should use the keyword.
05 Try to focus your content around one
keyword. Too many keywords will confuse the
search engine and may trigger lters.
06 Try and build as many inbound links to
your domain through content sharing, guest
posting, and outreach.
