In the immortal words of David Ogilvy, “You will never win fame and fortune unless you invent big ideas. It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night.”
Maybe this is why the majority of content is invisible and ineffective: A minuscule 5 percent of content generates 90 percent of engagement, according to Beckon. Said another way, 95 percent of your content does nothing.
There are few big ideas in the content arena. Content teams have become expert tacticians at building and converting audiences by fulfilling search intent and applying content to the customer journey. But too often, this leads to categorical, me-too approaches that are hard to differentiate from one another.
How much of your content passes like a ship in the night? Never seen. Never read. Never viewed. Other than by the team that created it.
Content teams need to reach for the stars and understand how to create and nurture big ideas—so big, in fact, that they become the brand promise.
