6-Step Guide to B2B Content Marketing that WorksLinkedIn
70 percent of marketers report that they plan
to produce more content this year than last
year. At the same time, only 30% rate their
efforts as “effective” or “very effective.”

marketing aspect of content marketing. Use
the 6 steps in the following slides as a
blueprint of how to build a content strategy
that produces measurable results.

Linkdex Operational SEO Think Tank - Small Thinking in a big organisationJose L. Truchado
In today's corporate world organisational structure can be a big hurdle when executing an effective SEO strategy. But using a start up approach can work as the perfect SEO strategy that circumvents the silos created by organisational culture.
Sales enablement needs an upgrade from basic marketing support. It should take an end-to-end view of the entire sales process, ensuring alignment between marketing and sales messaging. It also requires understanding the key stages and points of friction in the sales process in order to identify content and tools that can help ease friction. Determining what should be communicated by whom and when is also important for an effective sales enablement strategy.
The demands on a marketing organization
are rapidly changing.
The digital marketing era of today is complex and dynamic. There are
many channels that require investment and continuous attention. With
frictionless communication, trends happen faster and are shorter lived.
Without continuous attention, your digital presence decays rapidly.
Browsing through corporate websites, it is clear few companies have
adapted to effectively manage their digital marketing operations. Branding
and messaging are inconsistent, mobile device support is non-existent,
and aborted initiatives, such as corporate blogs and social pages, linger
as embarrassing reminders of poor follow-through. The problem is that
most organizations still see digital marketing as a series of projects: a web
redesign, setting up a blog, publishing a whitepaper. They can mobilize
resources to complete these projects, but cannot sustain the level of
effort necessary to keep a program going. And without that effort, these
marketing assets become liabilities.
If you want success in digital marketing, your
organization needs to operate like a publisher
by identifying high value audiences and
operationalizing processes to serve them.
This means delivering the right content in the right format and getting
irrelevant/outdated content out of the way. Known as marketing
operations, there is a field whose purpose is to keep content initiatives
performing after launch. Marketing operations encompasses a wide
array of skills and activities that stand in between the development of a
content asset and its consumption by an audience. This includes postproduction
for target channels, tagging for targeting, search engine
optimization, localization, instrumentation for analytics and performance
measurement.
Our previous whitepaper, Three First Steps for Operationalizing your
Content Marketing Strategy, introduced the concept of marketing
operations and recommended some preparatory steps to building a team.
This whitepaper will outline the details of how a marketing operations
group works.

Challenges in Migrating Imperative Deep Learning Programs to Graph Execution:...Raffi Khatchadourian
Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code that supports symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development tends to produce DL code that is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, less error-prone imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged at the expense of run-time performance. While hybrid approaches aim for the "best of both worlds," the challenges in applying them in the real world are largely unknown. We conduct a data-driven analysis of challenges---and resultant bugs---involved in writing reliable yet performant imperative DL code by studying 250 open-source projects, consisting of 19.7 MLOC, along with 470 and 446 manually examined code patches and bug reports, respectively. The results indicate that hybridization: (i) is prone to API misuse, (ii) can result in performance degradation---the opposite of its intention, and (iii) has limited application due to execution mode incompatibility. We put forth several recommendations, best practices, and anti-patterns for effectively hybridizing imperative DL code, potentially benefiting DL practitioners, API designers, tool developers, and educators.

2. Recently, the term “growth hacking” has become a much talked-about
phenomenon with the concerns primarily surrounding the doubt — whether it will or
perhaps it already has redefined marketing. Some consider it as a revolutionary way
of accelerating business growth, while many perceive it as just a buzzword for
marketing.
Marketing has been defined and redefined several times in many different ways over
the years. However, at its core, marketing has always been concerned with lead
generation. In this blog we will attempt to give you a nuanced understanding of
growth hacking and as we proceed further, we will comprehend how growth hacking
changes the way we market.
Now, let’s dig our hands a little deeper into this new phenomenon and understand
what growth hacking really is.
3. What is Growth Hacking?
Growth hacking is basically a new process for acquiring and engaging users that combines
traditional, analytical and marketing skills with product development skills. It is not a
replacement for marketing, neither is it better than marketing, rather it is just different than
marketing. The goals of growth hacking are based in marketing but driven by product
instincts.
The term “growth hacker” was coined by Sean Ellis in 2010. A growth hacker builds metric-
based strategy within the parameters of a scalable and repeatable method for growth.
Growth hackers find novel and technology-based avenues to push the growth of an
organization, which sometimes goes beyond the bounds of what is expected or advised.
4. The Growth Hacking Process
There are definite steps that help a skilled growth hacker to grow their company.
Defining doable goals: the process begins with focusing on a narrow actionable goal.
instead of focusing on the overall organizational goal, it is important, to begin with, a
narrow but attainable goal.
Implementing analytics to track the goals: without analytics, goals are vague. analytics
gives valuable data to shape and refine the goals.
Utilizing existing strengths: every organization has inherent strengths or assets that can be
leveraged to drive growth. it is important to design the growth strategy and plan the tasks
based on strengths of the enterprise.
5. Executing the plan: once the goals are identified and a strategy has been designed, it is
time to execute the plan.
Optimizing the plan: plans are fluid and they are meant to be optimized. it is essential to
tweak the plan and re-run the strategy when it is appropriate to do so.
Repeat: when a plan has been executed and optimized, you need to repeat the entire
growth hacking process with newly identified goals and data.
6. Tips and Tricks
As we must have known by now that SEO or search engine optimization,
utilizing the social media and including a call to action (CTA) is an important and
undeniable part of growth hacking. However, there are certain tricks, apart from focusing
on just these techniques, that can help to enhance the growth hacking results.
Here are a few tips to guide you through successful growth hacking:
1. Know Your Customers
Companies that prioritize customer-centric policies enjoy higher revenue growth.
Knowing the customers gives insights to create better content and plan appropriate
growth hacking strategy.
7. 2. Maximize the Use of Content You Already Have
While marketers emphasize on creating new content, it is also essential to revisit and
optimize the content they already have. Enhancing the keywords in your call-to-actions and
updating old blog posts with new content certainly keep them relevant for search and draws
more audience for your content.
3. Sell Your Story, Not Just your Product
A story always has a better recall value in comparison to your product name. A story enables
customers to understand your point of view and the features you incorporated in your
product. A good story will stay with your audience and they will start sharing it with others.
8. 4. Think Topics, Not Just Keywords
When it comes to SEO, marketers should think beyond keywords. Search engines attempt to
understand the intent of the search and comprehend natural language. Therefore,
marketers should consider conversations around topics instead of just focusing on
optimizing for certain keywords.
5. Reconsider the Usage of Your Keywords
Checking Google Webmaster Tool and discovering what keywords people use to find your
best blog posts can assist marketers to optimize their efforts. Incorporate those keywords in
your CTA (both in texts and in images). If there are no applicable CTAs for those keywords,
create new types of content like white papers, eBooks, etc.
9. 6. Use Behavioural and Demographic Targeting For Social Media Ads
Aligning user’s search intent with the results they get delivered is essential for an enriched
user experience. This helps in ensuring that your ads are relevant to your audience,
thereby increasing their likelihood of engaging with your content.
7. Use Analytics Wisely
To accelerate the growth of an organization, it is crucial to diving deep into analytics and
look beyond page views. Marketers should be able to use analytics to decide whether
widely accepted best practices would work for your company or some innovations would
do better. Growth hacking needs marketers to look past the superficial numbers and take
the time to analyze those numbers.
10. 8. Engage Influencers
To hack the growth of an organization, one needs to work with influencers while creating and
distributing new content. Q&As with influencers and curating insights from thought leaders
through blog posts, eBooks and other types of content are some of the ways to engage
influencers. You can also send influencers suggested tweets and ask them to share your
content at the same time.
Growth is the lifeblood of any business and hence growth hacking is the required
fresh oxygen. Growth marketing may not be redefining the goal of marketing, but it is
definitely changing the way of marketing. Currently, growth hacking is found in start-ups, but
it is eventually making its way to larger enterprises. If growth hacking can work in start-
ups without resources or established relationships, imagine what it can accomplish in
enterprises with resources.
