B2C and B2B Content Marketing Trends, Compared
Content marketing is more entrenched among B2B (88%) than B2C (76%) firms in North America, according to an analysis of the latest annual studies from the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, and both groups are shifting to more sales-driven efforts. Interestingly, B2C marketers are more apt than their B2B counterparts to believe they’re effective at content marketing (38% and 30%, respectively), and also report spending a greater share of their marketing budgets on content (32% vs. 28%).
With a majority of B2B and B2C content marketers expecting to increase the amount of content creation next year, both segments feel that producing engaging content is their top challenge, and around half of each group will increase their budgets over the next 12 months.
Looking at tactics, social media content is popular among both groups, although Facebook is tops in usage and effectiveness for B2C marketers and LinkedIn leads among B2B respondents. Search engine marketing emerges as the most effective paid advertising method for each group, although promoted posts are more regularly used by B2C content marketers. Overall, in-person events are seen as effective by both B2C and B2B content marketers, joined at the top of the effectiveness list by email newsletters on the B2C side.

ESPN Gets Out Of British Open Coverage
ESPN is officially out of the British Open business. NBC Sports announced Monday that it has reached agreement with ESPN to acquire next year’s British Open and related events. Terms of the deal were not announced, but NBC will pay ESPN “an unknown fee” according to Sports Business Journal. The addition of next year’s tournament tacks an extra year onto NBC’s rights deal with British Open organizer the R&A, which was to begin in 2017. It also further shortens ESPN’s 2010 deal to air the event, which was originally supposed to run until 2018. The R&A opted out of the 2017 tournament as part of the agreement with NBC, and now ESPN has opted out of 2016.
