As “big ideas” they allow for a range of expert-driven discussions, industry nuances, and clear perspectives that help to increase market awareness and build brand reputation.</p> </blockquote> <p dir="ltr">📖 Related Reading: <a href="https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/articles/ownable-conversations-content-creation"href="contentmarketinginstitute.com/articles/ownable-conversations-content-creation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ownable Conversations: How To Create Content That Leads Niche Discussions</a></p> <h2 dir="ltr">So How Do You Identify Your Ownable Conversations?</h2> <p dir="ltr">Ownable conversations sit at the intersection of your brand value proposition and the content zeitgeist — the big shifts, key themes, challenges, and opportunities within your industry. So in theory, it’s as simple as answering two questions: </p> <ol> <li>What is your value proposition?, and</li> <li>What is the content zeitgeist? </li> </ol> <p dir="ltr">Your best bet is to use strategy research to arrive at your ownable conversations. How much research you do is up to you, but the idea is to use a variety of qualitative and quantitative (proprietary where possible) tools to develop your hypothesis on what the key conversations are for your brand. </p> <h2 dir="ltr">The Ownable Conversations Framework</h2> <p dir="ltr">This is a framework that I’ve developed to help brands identify conversation opportunities in a hyper-competitive market.

A SWOT should be conducted with a group of key stakeholders to help to inform the value proposition of your brand. Through your discussion of the brand, you’ll answer questions like: how is the brand being perceived? How do we want to be perceived? What are the opportunities to communicate our strengths? How can content tell this story? </p> <p dir="ltr"><img decoding="async" height="400" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/F-EiCjQdAyTCG-liRS7PWXcN16CmTk_Sr-Z0lqPrpZUPimBDBtX8Hl7T4O9B36fTLI-wknh484CewzkPsLSHclu6jgo9EvEy7ra2S2AbZ_fy-yzgS35Ml2YGQcumidV4iHE-wDTu" width="719"/></p> <ol start="2"> <li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Customer feedback and surveys:</strong></p> </li> </ol> <p dir="ltr">Identify the key issues, conversations, and FAQs that matter to your audience by speaking directly with them. If you can’t do customer surveys due to resourcing constraints, you can also look at customer feedback and/or testimonials, including complaints (you need to be honest with what you are good at versus what you need improvement on).</p> <p dir="ltr">If you have a dedicated customer success team, you can also gather customer stories from the team members who know them best. Work with this team to develop customer profiles, highlighting how they became customers, what they care about, and any recurring challenges. Based on these profiles, you can begin to build a picture of what your current audience looks like and what matters to them. </p> <p dir="ltr">Qualitative customer interviews can be over the phone, via video, face-to-face or via online survey. The purpose should be to understand attitudes towards your brand, and its content, key challenges and interests relating to the industry, and content consumption habits.</p> <p dir="ltr">Here are 10 questions to help get you started:</p> <ol> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What made you decide to be a customer? What information did you consult before becoming a customer?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What services/products do you have with [brand name]?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What is your perception of [brand name]? </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What does [brand name] do well for you?

Do they answer your questions? If not, what is missing?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What companies/brands do you regularly consume content from? Why?</li> </ol> <p><strong>c. Stakeholder interviews:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">A good way of defining your expertise is by talking with subject-matter experts within your organization.</p> <blockquote> <p dir="ltr">No one understands your customers and prospects more than the folks who talk to them every day, who work with them in the field, and who work with them on a one-on-one basis.</p> </blockquote> <p dir="ltr">I would recommend conducting up to five 1-on-1 interviews of 20-30 minutes each, with at least one representative from sales and one representative from client services as part of the five stakeholders selected.</p> <p dir="ltr">The objective of this exercise is to understand how the target audience is currently engaging with your brand as a business, along with highlighting the frequently asked questions. We speak to customer-facing members of the team to get their insight into customer challenges, how they work with customers, the buyer journey, brand perceptions, and how best to communicate with customers. </p> <p dir="ltr">Here are some sample prompts you might consider in your interviews:</p> <ol> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why would a customer come to you instead of your competitor?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What are the big challenges/pain points that customers are looking to overcome?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What type of existing blog/website content are you leveraging in your communications with clients/prospects?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">If you could have a new piece of content, what would it be, and why?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What is a common compliment about your company?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What is a common complaint about your company? </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What additional services do you offer beyond your products and services that make your customers successful?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Describe the sales process, from start to finish.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">When you have lost a deal, what is the main reason?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">How do you describe the intangible benefits of working with your company?</li> </ol> <p dir="ltr">Now that you’ve established your value proposition by looking inwards, it’s time to look outwards to what’s going on in the industry and the media consumption habits of your audience. We call this the “content zeitgeist.”</p> <h3 dir="ltr">Part 2: The Content Zeitgeist (External Discovery)</h3> <p dir="ltr">Understanding the content zeitgeist relies on you to look outwards, towards your industry and the competitive landscape. Brands need to remember that the world their customers are operating in has now entered an intense period of change.</p> <p dir="ltr">A reasonable assumption is that today’s clients are looking for reliable information that’s also timely. So there’s an element of ensuring that your ownable conversations are topical. Your conversation should always correlate back to a trend that says something larger about the audience’s profession. This means taking a broader view of what’s going to change and then telling a story that helps your audience get there. </p> <p dir="ltr">Your content zeitgeist statement should capture the following:</p> <ol> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Trends </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Industry </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Participants</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Coverage</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Opportunity</li> </ol> <p dir="ltr">Here’s how it translates to a template:</p> <p dir="ltr">The key trends impacting the <strong>[Target Industry]</strong> are <strong>[List Trends]</strong>. <strong>[Participants]</strong> offer <strong>[Coverage]</strong> but there is a clear opportunity to capture a share of conversation by focusing on <strong>[Opportunity]</strong>. </p> <p dir="ltr">Here’s a completed example of one for studioID:</p> <p dir="ltr">The key trends impacting the content market industry are 1. Short-Termism 2. Hyper-Competition in Digital and 3. Access to first-party data. LinkedIn, IPA, and Warc offer thought leadership and opinions on long-term marketing for general marketing, but there is a clear opportunity to capture a share of conversation by focusing on the niche application of brand-to-demand marketing for content marketing purposes.</p> <p dir="ltr">Here’s some key research questions to help guide your discovery:</p> <ol> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What are the macro trends impacting the industry?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What are the micro trends impacting the industry?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What is the single most important challenge facing the industry?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What topics are being discussed at the moment? </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What are some important topics that are NOT being discussed?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Which brands/organizations are talking about these topics?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">How is your brand participating in these topics?

What are they doing well? Where are they failing? And don’t forget to take a look at non-category players too. These are the players that are also vying for some share of voice and/or your audiences’ attention. These may be publishers or another brand in another category. </p> <p dir="ltr">Remember, your ultimate goal is not to be just best in the category — your goal is to be best in class. </p> <p dir="ltr">Rather than doing a traditional competitor review (market share or category players), I look at the content quality in the category, which can come from anyone — publishers or other brands. I then short-list competitors based on qualitative (relevance scoring) and quantitative evaluation (SEMRush domain authority, traffic, and keyword coverage). </p> <p dir="ltr">Once you’ve determined your short-list of competitors and non-category players, you can use the following template to analyze each: </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Editorial considerations:</strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Maturity: [How sophisticated is their content marketing in terms of items like lead nurturing, CTAs, and providing content for each stage of the funnel?]</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Overall Strengths:</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Overall Weaknesses</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Conversations: [What topics are they seeking to own?]</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Targeting: [Who are they targeting?

But before you can arrive at yours, you need to summarize all the research you just gathered into a compelling, simple, and sometimes surprising statement. This is an insight. </p> <p dir="ltr">After establishing your value proposition and conducting external research, you’ll arrive at an insight that represents your “aha” moment around how your brand could start to fill the gaps in the conversation. It should reveal something about the industry you are researching and be backed by your observations. See the below example for studioID:</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Observation:</strong> The average B2B sales cycle is six months, yet 77% of digital marketers try to prove ROI within the first month (<a href="https://business.linkedin.com/content/dam/me/business/en-us/amp/marketing-solutions/images/marketing-roi/pdf/The_Long_and_Short_of_ROI.pdf"href="business.linkedin.com/content/dam/me/business/en-us/amp/marketing-solutions/images/marketing-roi/pdf/The_Long_and_Short_of_ROI.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LinkedIn</a>).</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Insight: </strong>The majority of marketers are confusing ROI with short-term KPIs.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Hypothesis:</strong> The industry’s obsession with short-term success is hindering long-term marketing growth and over-indexing in demand over brand strategies.</p> <p dir="ltr">Why does this insight work?</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">It’s grounded in research.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">It reveals something compelling about your target audience.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">It’s simple and straightforward.</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">It creates an opportunity for your brand to lean on its strengths to solve a problem.</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><strong>What this means for studioID content:</strong> Educate marketers on how to break out of the obsessive cycle of short-term ROI by integrating both brand and demand strategies in a united approach.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this example, we’ve used data from a recent survey to build a “realization” around a marketer’s relationship with ROI. You can then go back and review your value proposition and consider how your brand could (or should) leverage this insight. </p> <blockquote> <p dir="ltr">By consolidating your research into insights, you are keeping your message clear and giving yourself a simple rationale on which to build your ownable conversations.</p> </blockquote> <h2 dir="ltr">Your Ownable Conversations: The Final Output</h2> <p dir="ltr">Now that you’ve reached insights and put up your hypothesis, you’re ready to leverage it to develop your ownable conversations. To do so, use an anchoring statement that captures the hypothesis of your approach (also known as a positioning statement), which is an articulation of the change you want to create in the market and how that change will come from your brand with your chosen conversations.

Is it something they have seen before?</li> <li>Do you have data to support your views?</li> <li>Do you have a perspective on these topics?</li> <li>Can you add unique value to the conversation?</li> <li>Does this topic connect back to your value proposition?</li> <li>Does this topic support your anchoring statement?</li> <li>Is the content topical?
