True ROI of Brand Positioning and Content: How to Persuade Executives to Invest More

ON-DEMAND SESSION

WATCH NOW!

The recording of this session is available under the Mavuus Academy

Every marketing strategy typically consists of revenue generating as well as brand positioning efforts. But is one more important than the other?

It’s a well-known fact that it’s much easier to get investment for the pipeline building activities while it can be virtually impossible to persuade executives to invest more into branding and content development (especially during the tough economic times) Why? The challenge of demonstrating ROI of course.

Business leaders often see content and branding as low-value (or a nice-to-have) because they take the longest to generate results.

Brand is a slow-burn, long-term investment that doesn't generate instant gratification or move the needle right away. It’s a long-term marketing commitment that requires quite a bit of investment upfront before companies can yield the return. And it's always hard to pour money into branding when you need resources to keep the lights on afterall.

So how do you measure the ROI of brand positioning and messaging?

It always tends to be a mushy answer, something a CEO or CFO may challenge if they want to quantify the impact.

The truth is this exercise is a mix of the measurable (aka data-driven) and anecdotal (aka belief-driven) evidence.

As always, Mavuus is getting together with marketing experts, Krystal Hauserman, Mark Evans and Jared Blank on Thursday, January 25 at 1pm ET to understand the true definition of branding and content ROI, various methods to calculate the return, as well as explore different approaches when negotiating these tough investments with the executive teams.

I’m a lover of all things marketing – but if I had to choose a favorite, it would probably be storytelling. I love a good opportunity to thoroughly get familiar with a subject matter (a product, a person, or a brand) and then be able to paint an interesting story that truly engages and captivates the audience.
