At Clary, the content strategy focuses on thought leadership and introducing new terminology to the market. The team creates content through blogs, social media, and podcasts to educate people about the new category they have launched. They aim to provide valuable insights and customer evidence, not just traditional case studies, to help establish their credibility.
The use of gated content and lead capture is seen as valuable at Clary. They believe that if the content is good and provides genuine value, people will be willing to share their email addresses to access it. Building an email list is considered essential for establishing direct communication and trust with the audience, and it allows Clary to maintain engagement even if platforms change or social media algorithms fluctuate.
Clary follows a 'less but high-quality' approach to content creation, aiming to deliver valuable and engaging content that stands out in the market. The focus is on creating content that is useful, insightful, and impressive to the target audience. The strategy involves diversifying content formats, delivering impactful content consistently, and building anticipation among the audience.
Zero-click content refers to linkless content that is shared in native channels or feeds. It aims to build trust, grow your following, and increase inbound traffic. By repurposing and reposting valuable content, such as webinars and articles, companies can effectively engage their audience without relying on traditional links. Zero-click content can be so compelling that people are motivated to visit the website or take action, even without explicit links or tracking mechanisms.
To build an engaging presence on LinkedIn, companies should focus on delivering high-quality content and building relationships. Publishing insightful articles on personal LinkedIn profiles, leveraging the credibility of individuals over company pages, can yield better results. Encouraging employee activation through internal communication, sharing content, and inviting engagement can also amplify reach. Timing and frequency of posts matter, especially while targeting international time zones. Instead of solely measuring vanity metrics like likes and comments, businesses should recognize the intangible benefits like opportunity creation and inbound requests that stem from consistent, valuable content sharing on LinkedIn.
