Connecting Content Creation Processes to Drive Integrated Communication

Today’s marketing environment challenges marketers as never before. Distributed marketing is more complex. Customer and prospect data is available, but often unstructured. Marketing mediums are prolific, yet disconnected. Consumers no longer accept media messages; they expect to define and engage with them. And they expect consistent, relevant conversations with a brand, no matter when or where the conversation occurs.

Corporate marketers now realize that teams of creative talent or collections of tactical technologies thrown at a task will no longer achieve sustainable results. To successfully drive sales, marketing has to fundamentally change.

This guide is designed to help identify the opportunity and impact that embracing the idea of connecting with today's customers can have and provide the background on how to make this a reality. Included is information on:

• A community of ones
• Why current processes result in managed chaos
• How connected is better
• Where and how to start
• Three steps to a “connected is better” game plan
