Content marketing or
Email marketing,
who takes the lead?
@PamDidner
Two schools:
•  Content marketing is part of email marketing
•  Email marketing is part of content marketing
@PamDidner
The reality is
Not clear cut…
@PamDidner
Depends on the company…
•  Organization structure
•  Marketing channels
•  Budget allocation
•  Management preference
•  Your roles
@PamDidner
Understand how content and e-
mail marketing intertwine in your
company
@PamDidner
Understand internally
•  Who’s who
•  Who takes the lead
•  Who does what
@PamDidner
Start with commonalties
@PamDidner
Challenges of email marketers
•  Pressure to generate leads/subscribers
•  Constantly searching for content within a
company to meet email campaign deadlines
•  Lack of content creation budget or resource to
create e-mail specific content
•  Lack of proper integrated support from other
channels and peers

Challenges of content marketers

placement within a company

@PamDidner
Commonality: Similar
Challenges

Build co-ownership of goals and
strategies through the same
challenges
@PamDidner
Co-ownership of goals

•  Revenue
@PamDidner
Examples of goals

members

•  E-mail contribution to paid webinar or training
@PamDidner
•  Understand how your company’s marketing
works
•  Find out who owns budget and headcount
•  Build common goals through commonalities or
mutually-agreed strategies
@PamDidner
Content is King
@PamDidner
Design, layout,
copy and images
all play critical roles
@PamDidner
Content
complements e-
mail template
@PamDidner
E-mail template
complements
content
@PamDidner
•  Content determines which templates to use
•  Create several e-mail templates to tailor
audiences’ content consumption needs
•  Design, copy and images MATTER
@PamDidner
“Global” from client’s perspective
@PamDidner
Global in an internal sense
Headquarters
Work together
to plan / execute
content marketing
Local or Region
@PamDidner
Headquarters vs. Local
who takes the lead?

email database management and customer
relationship management

framework
