8 of the Best Content Marketing Examples
The best content marketing examples inspire other marketers. All content marketers want to produce content so good that it sparks joy in its intended audience – and performs well as a result. It doesn’t hurt if it earns a little envy from peers, too.
“Unicorn” content initiatives don’t appear out of thin air. Coming up with fresh ideas, aligning them to your strategic goals and audience interests, and supporting them with a thoughtful distribution and promotion plan takes work.
No one else’s map will get you there, but you can find inspiration for your map. Our latest collection of the best content marketing – 35 Examples of Brands That Are Winning With Content – shows leading B2B and B2C companies that exceeded audience expectations – and their marketing goals – with novel content approaches and creative executions.
Here’s a peek at eight of my favorite initiatives and the lessons they teach:
Lesson 1: Document your strategy for agility
Developing (and documenting) your content marketing strategy can do more than just focus your team on content types and channels. It can guide your direction when you must adapt to unexpected marketplace shifts, new behavior patterns, or emerging audience challenges – something we’ve all faced a lot of in the past few years.
Case in point: Leading Through Change
In March 2020, the world changed seemingly overnight. Salesforce responded to the new realities of pandemic-related business operations almost as quickly, launching its Leading Through Change content initiative on March 17. For the record, that was three days before California issued shelter-in-place orders and airports effectively shut down.
Leading Through Change takes a multimedia, multinational content approach that spans broadcast, on-demand video, blogs, audio, online learning modules, and social media channels in over 20 countries and 15 languages.
To develop all that content and tackle topics like well-being at work, upskilling, and vaccine management, Salesforce teamed up with recognized subject matter experts, CEOs, and other business luminaries across industries. For example, they published a series of articles and videos based on interviews with Dr. David Agus, including this one about why companies should consider hiring a chief health officer. Salesforce also created a resource center with guides such as its COVID-19 Response Playbook and a handbook on How To Safely Reopen Your Business.
Lesson 2: Increase content resonance with personalized relevance
Audiences naturally gravitate toward brands they relate to on a personal level – whether they share a sense of style, a passion for a hobby or activity, or an affinity for a value or belief. The more your audience can see themselves in your content, the more likely they’ll engage and act on it.

Personalizing content around their life experiences and the things they care about can plant the seeds to grow deeper, more resonant connections with them – even when you’re marketing a B2B product or service that rarely sparks joy in anyone’s mind. Exhibit an understanding of a relevant topic of concern, then show your business considers it a priority, too. Ultimately, letting consumers know you see them as people can help increase their trust in your brand – and their level of satisfaction with the services they purchase.
Case in point: Bulb Energy Green Impact Reports
You might recognize the importance of energy sustainability, but when was the last time you explored your power bill to see what the utility company had to say about the topic – let alone were entertained and inspired by the way they reported it?
For customers of UK utility provider Bulb Energy, the answer might surprise you. Bulb sends personalized emails summarizing the customer’s reduced impact on the environment when using renewable electricity and green gas. It extrapolates that data with fun illustrations, such as a comparison of the carbon dioxide savings to the weight of a dinosaur breed or how lowered emissions in the UK can help improve the lives of families in Ghana. Whether their customers are merely curious about their carbon footprint or actively implement sustainability best practices, Bulb’s emails provide powerful motivation to amp up their conservation efforts.
Lesson 3: Support the customers who support your business
What’s even more powerful than showing you understand your customers’ concerns and challenges? Providing them with the tools and know-how to overcome them.
Delivering educational insights and tactical advice is a staple of content marketing. But when you present that information so it can easily be implemented, your content becomes a living testimonial that your brand has more to offer than products and services.
Case in point: The Ultimate Virtual Selling Toolkit
Global sales training company RAIN Group fielded a survey to more than 500 buyers and sellers early in the pandemic to find out how its services and expertise might be needed. The results informed the company’s decision to steer clients through unfamiliar challenges. The multifaceted branded content campaign full of data, helpful tools, and targeted advice was designed to acclimate clients and customers to virtual sales.
First, RAIN Group shared a summary of top-line survey findings in its Virtual Selling Skills & Challenges gated report. Then it released the complete findings in an e-book – Virtual Selling: How to Build Relationships, Differentiate, and Win Sales Remotely. Other related assets included a virtual selling checklist, slide decks, infographics, and blog posts, leading up to the publication of its gated Ultimate Virtual Selling Toolkit, which includes guides, conversation planners, and more.
RAIN Group achieved its goal of helping its customers navigate the virtual sales space and earned the 2021 Content Marketing Award for Best B2B Branded Content Campaign. The effort also hit some impressive marketing milestones, including:
- 4,400-plus downloads of its research report
- 9,000 e-book copies sold
- 66,000 views of its blogs, infographics, and slide decks
- 15-plus new closed/won deals

Lesson 4: Invite influential thought leaders to play with your brand
Influencers have become a hot commodity in the marketing world, with some high-profile personalities commanding six-figure (or more) salaries to insert their partner brands into their social media conversations. Yet, one of the technique’s most common critiques remains: “How do we know the person behind the handle is truly familiar with the product they’re pitching?”
Asking influencers to co-create content with your brand is a great way to overcome those authenticity accusations.
Asking influencers to co-create #content with your brand is a great way to overcome authenticity accusations, says @joderama via @CMIContent @corpv. Click To Tweet
It also can help your content to stand out from other brands your influencer spokesperson may talk about and provide the flexibility to reuse for other purposes and platforms.
Case in point: Experience Points
Customer experience management firm Avtex Solutions set out to stand out by approaching its marketing goals with an entertaining, influencer-driven platform of video content. The resulting online series Experience Points is part game show and part expert discussion.
Avtex partnered with two leading industry influencers to serve as hosts and invited high-profile customer experience experts and practitioners to participate as contestants. Each episode consists of three mini-games in which contestants earn cash for their favorite charity by answering CX (customer experience) questions and sharing insights on what it takes to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
Whether the contestants get the answers right or wrong, the series is a win for Avtex, which exceeded its impression, web visit, and video view goals. It also won the Best Use of Influencer Marketing prize at the 2021 Content Marketing Awards. Even better, Experience Points forged a connection with new industry experts and influencers, which resulted in organic recommendations to new prospective clients.
Lesson 5: Slay your awareness challenges by making a scene on social
A single hashtag might not seem like a high-consideration campaign element. Yet, with the right planning, vetting, and creative reinforcement, it can launch a new initiative into the collective social consciousness and cultivate a thriving, branded community where your audience can share their passions.
But don’t arbitrarily stuff popular hashtags into all your brand’s posts in the hopes of capturing unearned attention. Create and use uniquely recognizable key phrases to provide a space for like-minded fans to gather, express their ideas, and show off their skills.
Case in point: #LegendaryChallenge
In 2020, WarnerMedia launched its new streaming service, HBO Max, and premiered a groundbreaking LGBTQIA+-focused reality competition. The show Legendary takes viewers into the thriving “voguing” scene known as ballroom. To generate awareness and excitement for the show among its youthful target demographic, HBO’s content team took to social media to create conversations and dance-related activities that lean into the shared desire for authentic self-expression.
Key components of the campaign included the #LegendaryChallenge on TikTok, which offered lessons on the choreographies used in the show’s theme tune. Signature moves and conversations about the importance of ballroom dancing for the LGBTQIA+ community were shared on Instagram Stories to amplify show highlights known as “gagging” moments.
The brand also amplified and supported those efforts by engaging trusted LGBTQIA+ influencers and popular media publishers to promote Legendary on their own social channels.

Lesson 6: Give fans something substantive to talk about
Cause marketing has skyrocketed in popularity, as consumers (particularly younger generations) increasingly go out of their way to support brands that put their money where their mouths are – especially when they’re talking about issues like sustainability; diversity, equity, and inclusivity; and giving back to their local communities.
In fact, 2021 Survey Monkey research found 78% of consumers say they made a purchase based on values in the past year, and 55% say they are much more likely to purchase from a company that shares their values.
55% of consumers say they are much more likely to purchase from a company that shares their values, according to @SurveyMonkey #research via @joderama @CMIContent @corpv. Click To Tweet
To compel your audience to use their wallets to vote in your favor, do more than send a press release whenever your brand contributes to the greater good. Use the opportunity to create ongoing conversations that help further your philanthropic missions.
Case in point: A Nut Above
After killing its venerable Mr. Peanut mascot – and resurrecting it as an infant, baby-Groot style – for its 2020 Super Bowl spot, Kraft Heinz snack brand Planters sat out of the media circus the following year in favor of a more fulfilling, cause-centric marketing approach.
Instead of spending the estimated $5 million on a flashy one-time ad, Planters used that money to reward people (and organizations) whose “little acts of extraordinary substance make the world a better place,” as the campaign’s kickoff video explains.
Lesson 7: Highlight the people behind your products
Behind-the-scenes videos are a great way to make your company and team personable and relatable. Highlight day-to-day operations, your offices, your manufacturing processes, or intriguing aspects of the business that audiences don’t always get to see.
To lend your video stories more credibility, consider interviewing employees, talking to your vendors, or filming conversations with your best customers. All these things can give consumers a clearer idea of how your company works, what’s unique about it, and who’s helping to make it a success. If your videos are entertaining as well as informative, the viewers are more likely to share your brand story with others.
Case in point: Behind the Scenes With the Storytellers
Digital asset management platform PhotoShelter developed process-oriented videos of innovative creative campaigns for its audience of marketers, photographers, and artists. The resulting series provides a window into the creative strategies of top brands like GE, the Premier Lacrosse League, and the University of Maryland Medical System.
The videos dig down into what makes the brand exceptional and how creators put its advantages to work – something other on-screen brand showcases struggle to capture and convey authentically. By letting its customers share their use cases and experiences – in their own voices – PhotoShelter gets its message across through human emotion rather than pitchy promotion.
Lesson 8: Spark virtual event interest with the VIP treatment
When social gatherings were paused in favor of social distancing, many businesses pivoted to virtual events. While the transition to digital tours may have been a short-term necessity, brands discovered it takes more than a visual simulation to coax consumers to log on, let alone stay engaged for the duration.
To create an incentive, enhance your online events with unique offers and opportunities – like exclusive downloads, live networking chat rooms, or one-on-one conversations with your speakers and sponsors. Consider adding personalized touches like giveaways or on-camera shout-outs to build anticipation and make the experience more exciting and interactive.
Case in point: Twilight Homes – VIP Virtual Grand Openings
Twilight made its events more interactive and memorable – delivering exclusive, custom-curated Viewer Packs to entice its VIP clients into accepting its Zoom invitations. The packs were stuffed with informative materials on home designs, the community, and the company, as well as Twilight-branded stickers, keychains, hand sanitizer, socks, and face masks. The company also helped support the economy in its native New Mexico by including coffee and gift cards for food delivery from local businesses.
The first VIP Virtual Grand Opening created such interest that Twilight sold out its inventory. The effort also grew the brand’s name recognition among local businesses and helped increase new home sales by almost 62% year over year.

Ecommerce evolution: Blurring the lines between B2B and B2C
Understanding convergence
B2B and B2C ecommerce are two distinct models of online selling. B2B ecommerce is between businesses, such as wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers. B2C ecommerce refers to transactions between businesses like retailers and consumer brands, directly to individual shoppers.
However, in recent years, the boundaries between these two models have started to fade. This is known as the convergence between B2B and B2C ecommerce and how they are becoming more similar and integrated.
Source: White Paper: The evolution of the B2B Consumer Buyer (ClientPoint, Jan 2024)
What’s driving this change?
Ever increasing customer expectations
Customers today expect the same level of convenience, speed, and personalization in their B2B transactions as they do in their B2C interactions. B2B buyers are increasingly influenced by their B2C experiences. They want research, compare, and purchase products online, seamlessly transitioning between devices and channels. They also prefer to research and purchase online, using multiple devices and channels.
Forrester, 68% of buyers prefer to research on their own, online . Customers today expect the same level of convenience, speed, and personalization in their B2B transactions as they do in their B2C interactions. B2B buyers are increasingly influenced by their B2C experiences. They want research, compare, and purchase products online, seamlessly transitioning between devices and channels. They also prefer to research and purchase online, using multiple devices and channels
Technology and omnichannel strategies
Technology enables B2B and B2C ecommerce platforms to offer more features and functionalities, such as mobile optimization, chatbots, AI, and augmented reality. Omnichannel strategies allow B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses to provide a seamless and consistent customer experience across different touchpoints, such as websites, social media, email, and physical stores.
However, with every great leap forward comes its own set of challenges. The convergence of B2B and B2C markets means increased competition. Businesses now not only have to compete with their traditional rivals, but also with new entrants and disruptors from different sectors. For example, Amazon Business, a B2B ecommerce platform, has become a major threat to many B2B ecommerce businesses, as it offers a wide range of products, low prices, and fast delivery
“Amazon Business has proven that B2B ecommerce can leverage popular B2C-like functionality” argues Joe Albrecht, CEO / Managing Partner, Xngage. . With features like Subscribe-and-Save (auto-replenishment), one-click buying, and curated assortments by job role or work location, they make it easy for B2B buyers to go to their website and never leave. Plus, with exceptional customer service and promotional incentives like Amazon Business Prime Days, they have created a reinforcing loyalty loop.
And yet, according to Barron’s, Amazon Business is only expected to capture 1.5% of the $5.7 Trillion addressable business market by 2025. If other B2B companies can truly become digital-first organizations, they can compete and win in this fragmented space, too.”
If other B2B companies can truly become digital-first organizations, they can also compete and win in this fragmented space
Joe AlbrechtCEO/Managing Partner, XNGAGE
Increasing complexity
Another challenge is the increased complexity and cost of managing a converging ecommerce business. Businesses have to deal with different customer segments, requirements, and expectations, which may require different strategies, processes, and systems. For instance, B2B ecommerce businesses may have to handle more complex transactions, such as bulk orders, contract negotiations, and invoicing, while B2C ecommerce businesses may have to handle more customer service, returns, and loyalty programs. Moreover, B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses must invest in technology and infrastructure to support their convergence efforts, which may increase their operational and maintenance costs.
How to win
Here are a few ways companies can get ahead of the game:
Adopt B2C-like features in B2B platforms
User-friendly design, easy navigation, product reviews, personalization, recommendations, and ratings can help B2B ecommerce businesses to attract and retain more customers, as well as to increase their conversion and retention rates.
According to McKinsey, ecommerce businesses that offer B2C-like features like personalization can increase their revenues by 15% and reduce their costs by 20%. You can do this through personalization of your website with tools like Product Recommendations that help suggest related products to increase sales.
Focus on personalization and customer experience
B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses need to understand their customers’ needs, preferences, and behaviors, and tailor their offerings and interactions accordingly. Personalization and customer experience can help B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses to increase customer satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy, as well as to improve their brand reputation and competitive advantage. According to a Salesforce report, 88% of customers say that the experience a company provides is as important as its products or services.
Market based on customer insights
Data and analytics can help B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses to gain insights into their customers, markets, competitors, and performance, and to optimize their strategies and operations accordingly. Data and analytics can also help B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses to identify new opportunities, trends, and innovations, and to anticipate and respond to customer needs and expectations. According to McKinsey, data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to acquire customers, six times more likely to retain customers, and 19 times more likely to be profitable.
What’s next?
The convergence of B2B and B2C ecommerce is not a temporary phenomenon, but a long-term trend that will continue to shape the future of ecommerce. According to Statista, the global B2B ecommerce market is expected to reach $20.9 trillion by 2027, surpassing the B2C ecommerce market, which is expected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2027. Moreover, the report predicts that the convergence of B2B and B2C ecommerce will create new business models, such as B2B2C, B2A (business to anyone), and C2B (consumer to business).
Therefore, B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses need to prepare for the converging ecommerce landscape and take advantage of the opportunities and challenges it presents. Here are some recommendations for B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses to navigate the converging landscape:
- Conduct a thorough analysis of your customers, competitors, and market, and identify the gaps and opportunities for convergence.
- Develop a clear vision and strategy for convergence, and align your goals, objectives, and metrics with it.
- Invest in technology and infrastructure that can support your convergence efforts, such as cloud, mobile, AI, and omnichannel platforms.
- Implement B2C-like features in your B2B platforms, and vice versa, to enhance your customer experience and satisfaction.
- Personalize your offerings and interactions with your customers, and provide them with relevant and valuable content and solutions.
- Leverage data and analytics to optimize your performance and decision making, and to innovate and differentiate your business.
- Collaborate and partner with other B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses, as well as with other stakeholders, such as suppliers, distributors, and customers, to create value and synergy.
- Monitor and evaluate your convergence efforts, and adapt and improve them as needed.
By following these recommendations, B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses can bridge the gap between their models and create a more integrated and seamless ecommerce experience for their customers and themselves.

How marketing automation can simplify operations and increase efficiency
Understanding the Change
Marketing automation has evolved significantly over time, from basic email marketing campaigns to sophisticated platforms that can manage entire marketing strategies. This progress has been fueled by advances in technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, making automation smarter and more adaptable.
One of the main reasons for this shift is the vast amount of data available to marketers today. From understanding customer demographics to analyzing behavior, the sheer volume of data is staggering. Marketing automation platforms use this data to create highly personalized and targeted campaigns, allowing businesses to connect with their audience on a deeper level.
The Emergence of AI-Powered Automation
In the future, AI-powered automation will play an even bigger role in marketing strategies. AI algorithms can analyze huge amounts of data in real-time, helping marketers identify trends, predict consumer behavior, and optimize campaigns as they go. This agility and responsiveness are crucial in today’s fast-moving digital world, where opportunities come and go in the blink of an eye. For example, we’re witnessing the rise of AI-based tools from AI website builders, to AI logo generators and even more, showing that we’re competing with time and efficiency.
Combining AI-powered automation with WordPress management services streamlines marketing efforts, enabling quick adaptation to changing trends and efficient management of online presence.
Moreover, AI can take care of routine tasks like content creation, scheduling, and testing, giving marketers more time to focus on strategic activities. By automating these repetitive tasks, businesses can work more efficiently, leading to better outcomes. AI can create social media ads tailored to specific demographics and preferences, ensuring that the content resonates with the target audience. With the help of an AI ad maker tool, businesses can efficiently produce high-quality advertisements that drive engagement and conversions across various social media platforms.
Personalization on a Large Scale
Personalization has always been important in marketing, and automation is making it possible on a larger scale. By using AI and machine learning, marketers can create tailored experiences for each customer based on their preferences, behaviors, and past interactions with the brand.
This level of personalization not only boosts customer satisfaction but also increases engagement and loyalty. When consumers feel understood and valued, they are more likely to become loyal customers and brand advocates. As automation technology continues to evolve, we can expect personalization to become even more advanced, enabling businesses to forge deeper connections with their audience. As your company has tiny homes for sale California, personalized experiences will ensure each customer finds their perfect fit, fostering lasting connections.
Integration Across Channels
Another trend shaping the future of marketing automation is the integration of multiple channels into a cohesive strategy. Today’s consumers interact with brands across various touchpoints, from social media and email to websites and mobile apps. Marketing automation platforms that can seamlessly integrate these channels and deliver consistent messaging will have a competitive edge. When creating a comparison website it’s important to ensure that the platform effectively aggregates data from diverse sources and presents it in a user-friendly manner, empowering consumers to make informed decisions.
Omni-channel integration not only betters the customer experience but also provides marketers with a comprehensive view of the customer journey. By tracking interactions across channels, businesses can gain valuable insights into how consumers engage with their brand, allowing them to refine their marketing strategies for maximum impact. Lastly, integrating SEO services into omni-channel strategies boosts visibility and helps businesses better understand and engage with their customers across different platforms.
The Human Element
While automation offers many benefits, it’s crucial not to overlook the human aspect of marketing. Despite advances in AI and machine learning, there are still elements of marketing that require human creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking.
Successful marketing automation strikes a balance between technology and human expertise. By using automation to handle routine tasks and data analysis, marketers can focus on what they do best – storytelling, building relationships, and driving innovation.
Conclusion
The future of marketing automation looks promising, offering improved efficiency and results for businesses of all sizes.
As AI continues to advance and consumer expectations change, automation will play an increasingly vital role in keeping businesses competitive.
By embracing automation technologies, marketers can simplify processes, deliver more personalized experiences, and ultimately, achieve their business goals more effectively than ever before.
