New research from NetLine Corporation reveals an important disparity between B2B content consumption trends of the “active audience” and the “in-demand audience.”
The active audience is comprised of users who are actively seeking content, but did not meet the discernible needs of marketers trying to reach distinct audience/buyer segments. When compared to in-demand audience activity, marketers can learn more about content resonance with audiences by job level, company size or by industry.
Much like last year’s data, it’s evident that marketers continue to target C-level and managers—these two job levels comprise the top in-demand audience by job level. However, this year’s report delves into the profiles of the other job levels who are dominating the active audience data.
Analysis of 2017 data shows that those professionals who identify as Individual Contributors have the most voracious appetite for content. Comprising nearly 30 percent of the active audience, these professionals have the ability to influence decision makers. The report goes on to dissect this and other job level profiles and delivers actionable takeaways to optimize campaigns.
The 2018 State of B2B Content Consumption and Demand Report takes a slightly new form as an evolution of the 2017 report. For those marketers who are both busy and burnt out on reports of little substance, this year’s report speaks to a no-nonsense, but data-minded marketer looking to extract value with ease. formatting, the user experience for this year’s look-back is powerful, concise and actionable.
CEO and Founder of NetLine Corporation, Robert Alvin, shares the value of blending a data-based and qualitative approach to a content syndication strategy, “This year’s report takes the exclusivity of our unique and robust data sets and delivers components of marketing pillars that can be tailored to an organization’s objectives.
