As a result, audiences can easily become distracted by the overwhelming volume of information that lacks a captivating story.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">To achieve maximum ROI while marketing to WardsAuto’s influential audience of business decision-makers, it’s crucial for marketers to gain a comprehensive understanding of their thoughts, motivations, and potential reactions to ideas. Failing to consider these factors can result in messages that miss the opportunity to resonate with potential buyers or come across as unoriginal.</p> <p style="text-align: center;">To address these challenges, the Content Kickstart program equips marketers with valuable data insights that inform the position, proposition, and message framework of their content marketing campaigns. By regularly measuring the most effective types of content for prospective customers, marketers can enhance the effectiveness of their campaigns, optimize the design, messaging, and implementation of their content marketing initiatives, and avoid wasting time, effort, and budget on ineffective paid marketing efforts.</p> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> </div> <div id="mk-toggle-30" class="mk-toggle fancy-style jupiter-donut-"> <span class="mk-toggle-title"> <svg class="mk-svg-icon" data-name="mk-icon-chevron-right" data-cacheid="icon-67472d0d68f8b" style=" height:13px; width: 9.28571428571px; " xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1280 1792"><path d="M1107 877l-742 742q-19 19-45 19t-45-19l-166-166q-19-19-19-45t19-45l531-531-531-531q-19-19-19-45t19-45l166-166q19-19 45-19t45 19l742 742q19 19 19 45t-19 45z"/></svg> Product Value Proposition </span> <div class="mk-toggle-pane"> <div class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item"> <ul> <li class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item">Gain competitive intelligence around a specific industry issue.</li> <li class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item">Develop powerful data to infuse into content marketing assets.</li> <li class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item">Provide valuable insights to your executives as well as marketing, product, and sales teams.</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="mk-toggle-31" class="mk-toggle fancy-style jupiter-donut-"> <span class="mk-toggle-title"> <svg class="mk-svg-icon" data-name="mk-icon-chevron-right" data-cacheid="icon-67472d0d69060" style=" height:13px; width: 9.28571428571px; " xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1280 1792"><path d="M1107 877l-742 742q-19 19-45 19t-45-19l-166-166q-19-19-19-45t19-45l531-531-531-531q-19-19-19-45t19-45l166-166q19-19 45-19t45 19l742 742q19 19 19 45t-19 45z"/></svg> Product Objectives </span> <div class="mk-toggle-pane"> <div class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item"> <ul> <li class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item">Brand Reputation/Credibility</li> <li class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item">Brand Sentiment/Preference</li> <li class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item">Competitive Intelligence</li> <li class="jet-listing-dynamic-repeater__item">Positioning</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="padding-32" class="mk-padding-divider jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clearfix"></div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> <div class="clearboth"></div> </div> </div> <div class="vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix"></div> <div class="mk-page-section-wrapper" > <div id="page-section-33" class="mk-page-section self-hosted full_layout full-width-33 js-el js-master-row jupiter-donut- " data-intro-effect="false"> <div class="mk-page-section-inner"> <div class="mk-video-color-mask"></div> <div class="mk-section-preloader js-el" data-mk-component="Preloader"> <div class="mk-section-preloader__icon"></div> </div> <div class="background-layer-holder"> <div id="background-layer--33" data-mk-lazyload="false" class="background-layer mk-background-stretch none-blend-effect js-el" data-mk-component="Parallax" data-parallax-config='{"speed" : 0.3 }' data-mk-img-set='{"landscape":{"desktop":"https://wardsauto.informa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/WardsAuto_MarketingServices_Website_Backgrounds_Final.png","tablet":"https://wardsauto.informa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/WardsAuto_MarketingServices_Website_Backgrounds_Final-1024x768.png","mobile":"https://wardsauto.informa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/WardsAuto_MarketingServices_Website_Backgrounds_Final-736x414.png"},"responsive":"true"}' > <div class="mk-color-layer"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="page-section-content vc_row-fluid page-section-fullwidth " > <div class="mk-padding-wrapper wpb_row"> <div class="vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container jupiter-donut- _ jupiter-donut-height-full"> <div id="padding-35" class="mk-padding-divider jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clearfix"></div> <h2 id="fancy-title-36" class="mk-fancy-title simple-style jupiter-donut- color-single"> <span> <h2 class="jet-listing-dynamic-field__content" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffffff;"><a id="industry"></a>Industry Insight</span></h2> </span> </h2> <div class="clearboth"></div> <div class="wpb_row vc_inner vc_row vc_row-fluid jupiter-donut- attched-false "> <div class="mk-grid"> <div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper"> <div class=" vc_custom_1698227625969"> <div id="text-block-37" class="mk-text-block jupiter-donut- "> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Industry Insight offers research-supported information and visually impactful presentations on pressing topics for your desired audience.
