Escape the Content Treadmill

Most B2B marketers are busy churning out content to feed hungry algorithms, while 80% of their existing library sits unused.โ€‹

Demand-Genius is an AI-powered Content Intelligence platform for revenue-focused B2B Marketers. Run custom queries throughout your entire library to conduct deep, human-like analysis at scale, in minutes. Find gaps, prioritise updates, and build your content strategy around impact, not output.

"I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of what Demand-Genius can do. The Free Audit gave us great insights, but the AI queries let us evaluate everything - AI Optimisation, SEO, Brand Voice, CTAs - across our entire library. It's like Clay but for Marketing/Content teams!" - Jamaica Lancee, CMO, Sensat

Hey folks ๐Ÿ‘‹ itโ€™s Emily here from ContentUK

In this newsletter weโ€™ve got:

  • Details of the October meetup ๐ŸŽ‰
  • Other events for your diary ๐Ÿ“†
  • Jobs jobs jobs ๐Ÿค
  • And first, a short update from me ๐Ÿ‘‡

This week I was writing an article and had a nagging feeling of "this feels really familiar." I put it down to the fact that I've worked with this company for a long time and I've probably touched on most of the topics at some point.

Spoiler alert! I'd written a version of this article a year ago ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Thankfully I spotted it and flagged before I got too far, and suggested some changes to refresh and add to the existing post instead. Crisis avoided!

But it sparked a conversation about how we approach updating existing content, and got me thinking about other ways to make best use of the company's extensive body of content.

Customer stories felt like a great place to start, as they're something unique to the business.

I'm now building out a Notion database organising some of the key case studies, pulling out the most important stats and sorting them by product and topic. This will help me (and other writers) reference those customer stories more frequently, getting more value than if they're just buried on their site.

Over to you - what's one thing you can do to make use of an older piece of content this month? ๐Ÿง  Catch you next time!
