Build a B2B content marketing strategy that transforms your business into a happy customer magnet.
1:1 content strategy workshops to walk business owners through every step of a strategy plan that generates online leads and sales for their business 24/7!
Finally get what ‘B2B content marketing strategy’ means and use it to grow your business online
Do you feel like your online marketing could be a great source of growth, but right now it’s ad-hoc and not generating any returns? Do you hold back on investing in your online business as a result? I can guess at the battle that goes through your mind:
“I want my website to bring me regular new business BUT I don’t want to get locked into expensive monthly fees with agencies”
“I want people to find us online BUT I don’t want to commit to something I don’t understand”
“I want customers to fall in love with us BUT I’m not confident I can create great content”
“I want sales to come in even when I’m not doing sales BUT I feel like agencies don’t care whether I get results or not”
“I want to support myself and grow a team BUT I don’t have time or ability to get sales through content marketing”
These B2B content marketing strategy workshops offer understanding. So that you know exactly how to create great content that brings in sales – with the time, budget and ability level that suits you.
Forget the ‘Marketing Mix’ – it’s leeching on your business
The problem is that business owners nowadays are constantly bombarded with marketing tactics that are ‘perfect’ for their business.
It seems like there’s always an agency with a handy monthly package that will finally start to bring in all those sales you’ve been after, using a bunch of digital marketing tactics.
It’s easy to wind up paying 2 or 3 agencies at the same time to run different marketing tactics for you, in the hope that one of them will get decent results.
These agencies are not wrong to offer those services. Just like your friend who suggests ‘using Facebook ads with a video’ because ‘Mark did it with his dog bed business and now he makes £15,000/month’ means well, but they’ve been duped by the same villain…
The Marketing Mix is out to get your cash. It’s a term we’re all taught at the most basic level of marketing – ‘a group of marketing tactics that helps get customers to buy your products’. But in reality, it’s a malicious fog and it’s very good at stealing the money of hardworking business owners!
The marketing mix is a tactical machine. You should never operate a tactical machine without a strategy that details how and why you’re going to use it. If you do, it’ll happily swallow your cash.
That’s what content marketing is all about. A strategy about how and why you will create content, plus how you will get it in front of your audience, so that you know exactly how you will generate leads and sales.
Let’s work together to stop using a ‘tactical marketing mix’ and start using ‘content marketing strategy’.
- Understand your audience on a deeper level
- Figure out your content purpose
- Set your content goals
- Generate the most important content topics and ideas
- Build-in audience feedback and questions
- Set-up a tailored content creation process
- Set-up a content publication process
- Set-up a content promotion process
- Manage your content with KPIs, a review process and an editorial calendar

“Stuart’s workshop has transformed my approach to marketing in general and content marketing, in particular.
I contracted Burning Need to help me build a content marketing strategy after meeting Stuart at a networking event. Their simple but thorough workshops enabled me to refine my proposition and ideal customer profile. The materials provided allowed me to work through several exercises to understand where my ideal customer gets their information and structure a campaign to build their interest, trust and commitment in my services.
Since completing the workshops, all of my marketing has been based on the outputs generated. I have built a significant online presence and multiple inbound leads using only the techniques I learned.”
James Bolle, Director of PRPSFL
Reap the benefits of a well-oiled B2B content marketing strategy
A solid content marketing strategy plan does more than just help you create content, it redefines the way you engage with your audience and customers. When you have a strategic plan in place, you can expect:
- Total understanding of how you can engage people online to generate leads, opportunities and sales consistently
- The ability to filter marketing tactics that will help you reach your goals from those which are a waste of time
- Love, respect and engagement from your target audience and your customers
- A deeper relationship between your brand and your target audience that’s built on value exchange
- The confidence to separate your brand’s online presence from all the other noise out there on the web
- A compounding effect on your sales over time – the more effective content marketing you do, the more your list and sales pipeline grows each month, the bigger the effect it has on your business each month
“My workshop with Stu of Burning Need was invaluable.
I went in feeling overwhelmed about my strategy and how I was going to engage this particular set of customers… I was dreading having to create the content too! Stu came incredibly prepared, he knew my brand, brand message and he just ‘got it’ straight away. The workshop had a great structure, but lots of room for creativity. He gave me some incredible ideas, and helped to pull out what I already knew about my customers, but hadn’t been able to strategise properly.
I left with a well thought out action plan, deadlines and a full idea of the content I needed to create, the platforms it would sit on and most importantly I understood why! I’m now excited to make and schedule the content, which is awesome. It was a pleasure working with Stu and I’d recommend it for any business wanting to really get ahead of content marketing and engage their customers in an innovative way.”
