For decades, we have aspired to deliver the right content in the right format and touchpoint at the right time to the right customers. But, the data needed to drive it often lagged behind our aspirations. We have been stuck in a cocoon of delays, indefinitely held in an awkward state somewhere between caterpillar and butterfly.
But, today, data and technology have largely caught up to our aspirations. It’s time to break free of our cocoon and fly. This presentation will explain how putting data into a system of content intelligence makes content delivery decisions smarter, more efficient–and ultimately more effective.
• learn what content intelligence is and why it’s beneficial
• discover a 3-step process for establishing content intelligence
• see examples of using content intelligence to elevate content delivery

8. THE CHALLENGE IS DELIVERING CONTENT EFFECTIVELY.
“Companies need to create a supply chain of
increasingly sophisticated and interactive
content to feed consumer demand for information
and engagement.”
“To thrive in digital business, content leaders must
marshal a great diversity of content, at a high
level of granularity, from a broad range of sources.”
“87% of B2B marketers say they struggle to
develop compelling content.”

Netflix algorithms factor
this data and more into
content delivery.
• When you pause, rewind, or fast forward
• What day you watch content (Netflix has found people watch TV
shows during the week and movies during the weekend.)
• The date you watch
• What time you watch content
• Where you watch (zip code)
• What device you use to watch (Do you like to use your tablet for
TV shows and your Roku for movies? Do people access the Just
for Kids feature more on their iPads, etc.?)
• When you pause and leave content (and if you ever come back)
• The ratings given (about 4 million per day)
• Searches (about 3 million per day)
• Browsing and scrolling behavior
• Screen shots to look at “in the moment” characteristics such as
volume, colors, scenery

Going through the data mining
process and asking the right
questions is the hardest part.
With seemingly unlimited data and
finite time, narrowing the scope to
yield meaningful answers is critical.
