How do you define success as a content marketer?

The easy answer is traffic, leads, and sales, but if that's where you stop looking, you're missing a lot of opportunity.

Reducing churn, increasing lifetime value, faster product adoption... while harder to measure, you can feel the impact of these metrics.

This was the focus of my conversation with Melissa Eisenberg, Sr. Content Strategist at DocuSign. Her job at DocuSign is to focus on the post-sale customer experience, which includes creating content that helps new customers be more successful with the product faster.

💬 Some things we talked about: 💬

Knowing what questions to ask when creating attribution models.

Aligning performance metrics to content production.

Creating customer health models.

🔊 These were our favorite quotable moments: 🔊

"What are the right questions to ask? What are they clicking on? What happens after that?"

"Content creation isn't just 'flip a button' then it's on. It's about being more thoughtful of how you're creating this."

"When you evaluate different data that you collect from content, what you're really trying to look at is customer behavior. What are they doing? Are they actually interested in what you're creating? And that type of data will then filter back in and say, 'okay, well, what do we recommend, not just create it, not just measure it, but what do we recommend to a customer at their stage of the customer journey?"

This was an incredibly insightful conversation, and I'm so grateful Melissa took the time to share her wisdom.
