Tout le monde a adopté le marketing de contenu. Vous me direz peut-être : bonne nouvelle. Je vous répond : bien au contraire. Car quelque chose s'est cassé en chemin. Vous me direz que je dramatise. Peut-être, mais les marques qui se sont engagées dans le marketing de contenu ont un vrai problème.
À l'origine, l'idée du marketing de contenu était de bien raconter une bonne histoire. Cependant, une bonne histoire ne suffit plus. Pour être une marque forte, vous devez être plus qu'une simple histoire. Seul, le contenu n'est rien. Nous avons besoin de contenu ET de marketing. Le marketing de contenu s'est éloigné de ce qu'il devait être. Il s'est transformé en storytelling - raconter des histoires sans marketing, sans objectif, sans marque. Et ce n'est pas une évolution positive.
L'objectif n'est pas seulement de raconter des histoires
Alors, le marketing de contenu a-t-il encore une raison d'être ? Et, si oui, laquelle ? Le but ne doit pas se limiter à raconter des histoires. Le but doit être d'atteindre votre public cible et de réaliser les objectifs de votre marque et de votre contenu. Plus le contenu est complexe, plus le marketing de contenu fonctionne - dans le B2B par exemple, ou dans la finance. Cela implique parfois du storytelling, parfois d'autres formes de contenu. Parfois même, vous n'avez pas besoin de contenu du tout. Mais créer du contenu ne devrait jamais être un objectif en soi.
Pensez à votre objectif final
Ce n'est pas pour rien qu'il y a le mot « marketing » dans « marketing de contenu ». Attention, cela ne consiste pas seulement à vendre quelque chose directement. Le marketing vous oblige, en tant qu'organisation, à réfléchir à ce qui « vend » et aux raisons pour lesquelles votre public cible devrait prendre votre produit en considération. Que faut-il pour que votre public passe le cap et vous choisisse ? Quand attend-il quelque chose de vous ? C'est un véritable défi, surtout si vous êtes une société d'ingénierie ou un prestataire de services de retraite, par exemple, avec un message complexe.
Comment vous démarquer des milliers d'autres marques et organisations qui attendent aussi quelque chose de votre public cible ? En tant que marque, vous devez constamment penser à votre objectif final et à la manière dont vous allez l'atteindre. Il peut s'agir de vendre plus d'hypothèques, de travailler sur la notoriété de votre marque, de trouver du personnel, de promouvoir une proposition ou de générer des leads. Vous partez d'un message complexe et d'un objectif, puis vous travaillez à la réalisation de celui-ci par le biais d'une stratégie de marketing de contenu. Vous restez proche de votre contenu et de votre marque, tout en vous connectant à votre public cible et à son univers.
En savoir plus sur l'élaboration d'une stratégie de marketing de contenu efficace ?
Passez de la simple création de contenu à l'élaboration d'une stratégie de contenu qui vous permette d'atteindre vos objectifs. Découvrez les principes fondamentaux du marketing de contenu, apprenez à déterminer le meilleur contenu à créer, fixez les bons objectifs, et bien plus encore dans ce white paper (disponible en anglais et en néerlandais).
L'écueil
Et puis, lentement, très lentement, tout ça a commencé à s'estomper. Les marques sont tombées dans le piège de la communication. Le marketing de contenu s'est trop axé sur la narration : raconter pour le plaisir de raconter. L'aspect marketing est de plus en plus oublié. Or le marketing signifie ici : comment séduire le public cible ? Avec du contenu (parfois complexe) et de la créativité, bien sûr. Mais pas seulement avec des histoires. Sinon, cela devient de la communication - de la diffusion et de la narration. Ce qui fait que le marketing de contenu devient, lentement mais sûrement, redondant.
Le marketing de contenu est un métier
Chaque marque, chaque organisation, « fait » du marketing de contenu. Et c'est là que les choses ont mal tourné. Tout le monde a commencé à pratiquer le marketing de contenu sans se demander pourquoi. Le marketing de contenu est une spécialité. Il ne s'agit pas seulement de réaliser une vidéo ou de raconter une histoire. C'est un mélange ingénieux de marque, d'informations, de contenu complexe, de créativité, et de marketing.
Le marketing ne consiste pas (seulement) à raconter des histoires. Cela n'a jamais été l'objectif. Le marketing de contenu n'est pas une question de communication. Le marketing de contenu consiste à atteindre votre public cible par le biais du contenu afin qu'il finisse par vouloir quelque chose de vous - comme se lancer dans un grand projet d'ingénierie, souscrire une assurance ou travailler pour vous.
Que doivent faire les marques ?
Je crois toujours au marketing de contenu. Parce qu'il vous oblige, en tant que marque, à réfléchir à ce que vous faites et aux raisons pour lesquelles votre public cible devrait vous choisir. Et parce que le marketing de contenu est l'outil qui permet de transmettre un contenu complexe à votre public cible par le biais de la créativité. Mais il a besoin de repartir de zéro. D'opérer un retour aux sources.

Does video have a place in your B2B content strategy?
Is your content strategy already harnessing the power of video? Video is everywhere. Every month, 1.7 billion unique visitors watch at least one video on YouTube, and visual social media such as Instagram and TikTok are extremely popular. B2B is not immune to this. With the rise of video can we expect to see the decline of the copywriter and the arrival of the video content creator? It's not so black and white, thankfully. But, as marketers say, as a company it’s always better to respond to trends so you don’t get left behind. And video has long ceased to be a 'throwaway' trend. How can you integrate video into your content strategy? And what are the benefits?Lire la suiteBlog

DUO’s tick box: how the government uses behavioural principles
The government uses insights from behavioural science to guide its communication with citizens. This sometimes involves trial and error. DUO's 'tick box' is a well-known example. But first, let’s start with a bit of theory: the 'paradox of choice' briefly implies that we like choice, but don't like to choose. (Viewing tip: watch this TEDTalk by psychologist Barry Schwartz who coined this term). The more choices our brain has to process, the harder it becomes to choose. Sometimes it even leads to us making no choice at all. Anyone who has ever stood in front of the dessert shelf in a French Hypermarché can relate to this. There is even a scientific term for this phenomenon: choice paralysis.Lire la suiteBlog

2023: a year in an era of change
Does the name Leonhard Huizinga still ring a bell for anyone? Once a popular Dutch writer, now forgotten. He made his debut in 1936 with the book 'De Gestroomlijnde Wereld'. Already a wanderer at a young age, Huizinga's book opened an unknown world to many readers. An exotic world, which seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, because it was more accessible by car, train, boat, and airplane. Faster, more comfortable and with more and more streamlining — quite literally. Curious, boundless, full of wonder. Not realising, as early as 1936, that over that same world lay the shadows of tomorrow.Lire la suiteBlog
