By Lisa Heay , Planning Manager at Heinz Marketing. My career began as an in-house marketer. Prior to my consulting days, I didn’t know how consultants did what they did. I had this misguided vision of consultants being these experts that knew absolutely everything about their field. There must be some kind of agency handbook for each industry they could reference with all the answers, right? But now, being on the other side, I know that’s silly. We don’t know all the answers.

Is it because they have massive organic audiences that flock to their content? Maybe they all have huge email lists they send their content to. Unlikely…. For years we’ve known that content marketers generally do a poor job at using paid media for distribution and amplification.

From small startups to national corporations, what has shocked me the most is the lack of unity and communication between the sales and marketing departments. When I first visit a marketing department, I ask its team members to describe their buyer profile as well as their customer’s interests, demographics, and pain points.

You have probably heard the saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Although I would argue that both are important, sometimes the latter can help you reach your goals faster—at least in terms of your website SEO and link-building strategy. Just like in life, the relationships that your website pages have with each other and with the Google universe affect your website’s level of popularity or authority.

User experience (UX) is an often overlooked aspect of web design. In fact, when talking to people who work in similar industries, it’s apparent that people aren’t at all sure what UX entails.

Is the marketing funnel obsolete? Well, short answer: no. Long answer: kind of. While the funnel isn’t (and shouldn’t be) completely dead, there HAS been a shift in the way content marketers work within the company to best serve a customer. While the funnel is a helpful guide through the buyer’s journey and an effective method for lead generation , it ultimately focuses too much on closing a sale and moving onto the next.
