Research claims 70% of marketers believe their content is ‘limited, basic or inconsistent’

A new study claims 70% of marketers in Asia Pacific believe their content marketing efforts are ‘limited, basic or inconsistent’. The Hubspot and Survey Monkey-led report shows 22% of marketers claim content marketing is the leading driver of revenue and ROI (22%), but 56% said quality content creation was their biggest challenge and 53% reported they were struggling with content frequency. Source: Asia Pacific Marketing Report 2016. The Asia Pacific Content Marketing Report also claimed ‘content shock’, a situation where more content is created than consumed, was a key factor in limiting content marketing success. The study which surveyed more than 720 marketers in the Asia Pacific Region, also said 48% of marketers do not have a defined content strategy. With 69% of businesses creating more content in 2016 than 2015, the results indicate content marketing strategy and content quality need to be optimised for success. Ryan Bonnici, director of marketing at Hubspot, Asia Pacific said: “The issue is that the more content businesses produce, the more competitive the market becomes, and suddenly the target audience sees individual business content as less valuable than before. With most of the market feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of content marketing, those that are successful will find themselves in the top quarter of marketers in Asia Pacific.” Other top-line figures showed 77% of marketers still invest in boosting posts on Facebook, while 63% promote posts via LinkedIn and 58% pay to play on Twitter. More than a third of respondents said paid distribution on Facebook as moderate/highly effective as a promotional tool while only 18% reported LinkedIn as effective and 10% reported Twitter was an effective promotional tool.
