The Tablet Imperative

Richard Calvert

Bright Blue Day

Content marketing is marketers becoming publishers; owning the

media instead of renting it. Attracting and retaining customers

by creating/curating valuable, compelling and relevant content to

maintain or change behaviour.

Joe Pulizzi, Founder of Junta42 and Content Marketing Institute quoted in B2B Content Marketing: Formats, Distribution and Measurement. October 2011

9 out of 10 B2B organisations market with content

51% of B2B marketers plan to increase their content marketing budgets within the next year

On average marketers spend >25% of their budget on content marketing

Content is key in B2B

A key driver in the use of digital channels is the accessibility of technology, making the production

and distribution of content cost-effective.

Tablets join worlds and shift paradigms

Tablets offer new opportunities to engage with content in new ways

• Accessing content is no longer time constrained

• Content can be integrated into cross-channel, multi-screen conversations

• Businesses are able to offer unique depth of engagement to better engage senior stakeholders and decision makers when and where it matters

• Ability to repurpose and reuse content across audiences and locations

• Deliver value across protracted sales and re-purchase cycles

We have a clear opportunity to leverage tablets to deliver compelling and effective content and services to

customers, prospects and employees across an engaging and

convenient digital platform.

What are the options?

The rise of the app economy?

The growth of smartphones and tablets fuelled a whole new economy with shift from web to app platforms:

1 billion Android App downloads in 2011

App economy drives half a million jobs in US

App market estimated to be $38 billion by 2015

$38

billion

TechNet

The rise of the app economy?

But whilst consumer and social apps enjoy all the buzz there is massive investment from B2B:

25% growth in Mobile Enterprise Applications

Average investment in mobile projects will rise to £590K in next 18 months

43% of businesses are currently creating apps for customers 42% for employees

2 App ‘flavours’

Utility Apps

Add value by helping people to do things more efficiently, to be more productive.

Content Apps

Apps that add value by giving more convenient and compelling access to content that drives stakeholder engagement.

• Tablet is a natural device for ‘slow’ content like books, articles, magazines and video.

• Offers convenient and enhanced experience through interactivity, rich media and connectivity.

• Opportunity for B2B marketers is to create experiences dedicated to the tablet that drive deeper engagement with stakeholders.

Rise of the content app

Many are already taking it...

There is a clear need for a tablet content strategy.

Not just as an adjunct to web, mobile or offline plans, but as a channel in

its own right.

...but not in isolation

Choosing a platform for content apps

Web content apps are about finding, distributing, organising and sharing content. The container is less important, the value is in the content itself.

Published content apps are designed for deeper, more considered consumption. The enjoyment and value comes from the complete pixel perfect experience.
