We will try to make it a little bit easier.
Here are 6 content marketing campaign examples with lessons we can learn from them to provide inspiration for your own company’s content campaigns.
Ocean Spray | Nathan Apodaca on TikTok
Nathan Apodaca set the internet on fire on September 25th when he uploaded a video to TikTok of him riding his skateboard to work, drinking a large bottle of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice while lip-syncing to the song Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Nathan had been driving to work at an Idaho potato warehouse when his 2005 Dodge Durango’s battery died. It wasn’t the first time the battery had died since the truck has more than 330,000 miles on it. So he hopped on his skateboard, titled his video “morning vibe” and the rest is history. Read more

LinkedIn was launched in 2003, acquired by Microsoft in 2016, and now has over 700 million users. The social media platform just went through its first major redesign in four years last week. At the same time, they introduced Stories and third-party integration with Zoom, Blue Jeans by Verizon and Microsoft Teams for video chats. While Linkedin’s growth has been driven by offering social networking, premium memberships and advertising, these new features are an indication the company is looking to appeal to a wider demographic. Many people consider LinkedIn to be the premier social media platform for business.
But, are you and your company taking advantage of all LinkedIn has to offer?
All these changes led us to do this deep dive on the platform and update LinkedIn best practices to share with our audience. Read more

Change. Change is sometimes avoided. Often we do the same things, the same way. Change is good.
Fall is a good time to make adjustments to your routine. Brush your teeth with your other hand. Drive to work via a new route. Read a different blog or news website. Wear your watch or Fitbit on your other wrist.
How does it make you feel?
The pandemic caused a massive adaptation to new routines. As we social distance and adapt to a new normal — existing routines are broken and reformed. Digital transformation will force companies to rapidly change. Companies and employees will need to be familiar with change because it will be accelerating. Read more

This past Sunday, the Wall Street Journal announced that the U.S. operations of the short-form video platform, TikTok, would be sold to Oracle Corporation. Oracle won the bidding war over Microsoft for this high-profile deal to allow TikTok to continue to operate in the United States. The Trump Administration repeatedly threatened to close it down over the summer. The deal will now have to be reviewed by the Trump Administration, but it is known that Oracle is a rare ally of the Trump administration in Silicon Valley so there is a good chance for approval.
While we wait to see how this shakes out, I want to answer two important questions regarding TikTok.

A website is typically very essential to your company’s success. But running a website is complex and time-consuming. This leaves many marketers asking themselves where to begin to make sure their website is optimized to attract, engage and convert visitors.
You may find yourself asking:
Are my visitors engaging with my site or bouncing immediately?
Are visitors converting into high-quality leads?

At Elbow Grease Marketing, all too often we talk with companies that don’t prioritize SEO investment as it lags way behind other digital marketing investments.
We find this puzzling.
Search engine optimization has been around since search engines were invented. As a result, many marketers regard SEO as an “old marketing tactic.” We hear many reasons for deprioritizing SEO. That it is too expensive, not fun, too time-consuming, not enough money left over after a website redesign, and it is too hard to stay current with best practices.
We are here to change your mind.
We see SEO as an integral part of your content strategy to attract traffic to your website. While there are substantial variances of search queries depending on the industry, the average website can expect to receive about 50% of its traffic from search queries on Google. If your company is getting less than half of your traffic organically, there might be a tremendous opportunity to improve.
Here are six reasons to rethink how much you invest in SEO today. Read more

Our agency runs on the mantra of the Exceptional Marketing Mindset. What is that you ask? Here is the story.
A former client, Cassidy Shield, who currently runs marketing at Narrative Science, recently wrote about his company’s effort to define Good vs. Bad Marketing and the twelve traits that distinguish good and bad marketers. This a thought-provoking list that is a stark reminder of what marketers need to do to drive growth. What it boils down to is a mindset.
As marketing leaders, we need to be clear on not just the skills and experience we are looking for when recruiting and developing our teams – but also how they think, their mindset if you will. Skills are obviously essential, but marketing changes so quickly that skills can quickly become obsolete. Having the right mindset allows us as marketers to adapt, grow and evolve. As an agency, it is critical that our team finds marketers with this mindset so that we can deliver outstanding work for our clients. Read more
