THAUMAZO CONTENT
Let's create amazing content for your business
"Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."
(Anton Chekhov)
From 'messaging the customer base' to a true dialogue
Digitization has greatly increased customer expectation. Today consumers and business partners alike have more choice, less patience and expect a genuine, competent counterpart during their online journey as well.
This represents a great opportunity for companies, but also a clear mandate: to communicate even better and with an authentic human touch.
Chekhov's quote nicely sums up what is important for succesful client communication right now: not to tell customers that you value them, but to let them feel it everywhere - across all channels, and at every touchpoint.
What exactly is content marketing?
Content marketing is fundamentally different than classical marketing communication.
It avoids slogans and promotional advantage arguments but instead, strives to convince the client with tailored, consultative content and communication at eye to eye level.
Consequently, the "content shift" is not limited to revising texts and choosing fresh visuals. Content marketing is a strategic approach of
-
relevant topics in authentic formats,
-
addressing specific clients,
-
via channels they are already present at and happy to use,
-
relying on balanced competences within the team, and
-
focussing on process optimization.
To sum up: It is the most honest, elaborate, and also most sustainable way to build trust and retain the most important people in your business - your customers.
Vision and strategy
The biggest surprise in the shift from traditional to content marketing is often how closely this is interwoven with the strategy and culture of the entire company.
Your customers will sense whether you really have something to say and are truly being yourself.
Communication is icing the cake with pretty words; it is the very essence of every company. This is why you cannot hire us to create content not for you: we will develop authentic content together with you instead!
Together we will find the right strategy for your audience and communication goals.
All customized, no copy-paste
Is your communication suffering from boom and bust cycles? This is a clear sign, that the systems you have chosen do not fit your company's needs.
Your content matters. If you are creating or publishing too little, inconsistently, or finding your content difficult to manage, then we are not talking about a tiny detail. This is highly relevant to your business.
Improving your content is a matter of craft and healthy procedures: a team that can be involved as little as possible with self-organization and system administration and fully focus on creation instead is the key to success. People and talents differ, so they must be allowed to contribute to the best of their best skills.
We help you choose appropriate technology and model processes that will actually work for your team; not against it.
Accessible and relevant
The term "content" has become inflationary in digital marketing; meanwhile being used for campaign data as well as for csv-downloads from your PIM system....
Of course, it makes sense to look at data to interpret results and measure success. But metrics alone cannot build a trusting customer relationships.
Especially in the age of AI, customers more than ever want to know whom they are dealing with and whether they can trust. In order to fully honor this the client as a human being has to once again take center stage. Only those who truly understand their audience will be trusted.
We do want to communicate quick and respond fast in digital times, but not at the expense of relevance and depth.
This can be helped by focussing more on what clients are really saying and less on what we want people to hear.
Your pivotal moment for content marketing
The shift has been a long time coming, and now it's here: Beyond price and product range, smooth person-to-person communication is the most important area of investment.
Business growth is never possible by constantly acquiring new customers alone. To elevate and grow you need to secure your existing customer base. For business partners, values and reliability count in rapidly changing markets. Consumers are seeking an experience with their purchase rather than to own a specific product. Both, B2B and B2C, want to know whom they are buying from.
Strong, trusting customer relationships are the best way to future-proof your own business.
Great content is no small matter. It requires - and deserves - professional support.
Relevant and authentic marketing is particularly important, if you finding yourself in any of these scenarios:
RE-POSITIONING
For companies who want to modernize and build new confidence.
MARKETING OPTIMIZATION
For marketing teams striving to realign their powerful output and to grow into a new role.
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
For seasoned authors and entrepreneurs who want to step up in their communication and lead a new ways for their business.
