NEWSCRED A significant percentage of your content strategy must include curating third-party content, specifically from trusted sources. Newscred is a content marketing platform that can give you access to high quality, licensed content to use on your owned media channels. It's more than just curating. NewsCred sources and licenses trusted content across a broad range of subjects and perspectives, providing you with the tools necessary to drive traffic, engagement, and revenue for your business. With third-party, licensed content from high-quality, premium publishers, such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg, The Economist, the Chicago Tribune, the Huffington Post, you can develop niche editorial sections, scale email marketing campaigns, power social media channels, and build mobile applications and products.

NewsCred can offer you a selection of products to license, syndicate, curate, and publish content across multiple platforms. From their Syndication Suite, publishers can track, manage, and analyze their content as it flows to third-party sites. The SmartPress platform allows you to publish and manage content, while the tool's design capabilities provide you with the opportunity to design your own layout to meet the look and feel of your brand. All pages are optimized for natural search, and articles are sorted by relevance and popularity across social channels. ""READ FULL EXCERPT"IN THE BOOK

CONTENTLY

Page 5: Elevate Your Content Marketing With These Six Powerful Platforms

CONTENTLY It’s clear that your brand must create engaging content that tells a specific story across the ent i re d ig i ta l ecosystem. And unfortunately, you might lack the resources needed internally to deliver such content day in and day out. The Contently platform can connect your brand to a network of journalists, writers, and bloggers and provides the technology needed to quickly and seamlessly manage the complicated workflow from content ideation to creation and all the way to distribution. Contently’s Storytelling Platform allows you to quickly and seamlessly manage both staff and freelance contributors and their work. You can build custom teams of contr ibutors (wr i ters, photographers, editors, and so on) and communicate with groups, source story ideas from teams, create assignments, manage permissions for individual team members, and more.

The platform allows all deliverables and approval workflows to live in the cloud, and you can drag and drop an editorial calendar, which is customizable to the scale and frequency of any size of branded content campaign. Contently’s platform can also help you streamline the tedious process of legal signoff and internal content approvals. Instead of passing content back and forth via email, Contently allows you to create custom approval chains, so when an assignment is ready for review by your team of lawyers, managers, or clients, the appropriate parties get emails with special links to review and approve the work (or sent back for revision).

PERCOLATE

Page 7: Elevate Your Content Marketing With These Six Powerful Platforms

PERCOLATE If you are looking for a tool that focuses solely on content creation, Percolate is a perfect tool. Unlike most other tools, Percolate provides everything you need to build visually appealing content. This includes access to Getty Images, Shutterstock and your own built in media database with no limits on image storage. The tool is less suitable as a listening/response tool, even though it does have support for this built in. Percolate also provides excellent feedback on the results of your content, so you can see how well it did based off the metrics that really matter; like, reach, shares, virality. The content creation tool even includes a built in image editor that offers brand friendly tools like logo drop-in, titles using your brand font and colors and other handy

tools. These are often things that would need to be outsourced to a creative team, but can now be accomplished in under a minute. The vendor includes a multi-stage onboarding procedure which starts with your account manager, followed by a brand onboarding tool and other online tools to learn about your brand voice and brand creative guidelines (like colors and logos). The end result is a tool that "knows" who you are. READ FULL EXCERPT"IN THE BOOK

SOCIALFLOW

Page 9: Elevate Your Content Marketing With These Six Powerful Platforms

SOCIALFLOW In my book, I wrote about the need for you to create relevant content in order to reach consumers with CADD – Customer Attention Deficit Order. The challenge here is what might be relevant today might not be relevant tomorrow. And to complicate it a little further, what might be relevant an hour ago might not be relevant right now. Attention is finite, and you don’t have a lot of time to get your message in front of the masses. SocialFlow addresses this issue head on. The best way to describe SocialFlow is that it’s a content publishing and ad platform that uses real-time analytics and a predictive algorithm to publish content at the time when customers are paying attention. They have two c o re p ro d u c t s , C a d e n c e a n d Crescendo.

Cadence uses predictive analytics to determine the value of your content within the social graph. In real time, Cadence determines when a specific audience is available, paying attention and what relevant topics they are most likely to engage with based on what they are currently discussing. It then automatically publishes your content when the audience is paying attention. SocialFlow then ties these messages back into business goals by measuring the conversion rate of each message, such as clicks to a website as measured by a web analytics platform like Adobe SiteCatalyst or Google Analytics.

Page 11: Elevate Your Content Marketing With These Six Powerful Platforms

ONESPOT OneSpot, can utilize any type of content, either owned content or earned media content, and turn it into ad creative for display, social, and mobile environments. It automates the complete process of ad creation, which can turn your entire content portfolio into a library of display ads. OneSpot uses machine learning algorithms and big data to analyze both the content and the ads created in the system. It then analyzes the ad inventory available within their ad e x c h a n g e n e t w o r k , t a r g e t i n g thousands of sites whose users it predicts would engage with your content. It places your ad using RTB (real-time bidding). The algorithms consistently improve their bidding efficiency, allowing you to garner more high quality impressions with the same budget.

The OneSpot platform actively uses your ads and content to move viewers through your purchase funnel or customer journey. By retargeting viewers, their platform serves up your content (ads) based on user behaviors and increases your ability to convert customers wherever they are in the purchase funnel. Based on sites visited and content consumed, content you created can be sequenced - a viewer reading content about "big screen TVs" today can later be retargeted with a content ad with a review of a specific TV model and ultimately content about a specific promotion.
