Finding creative ways to skirt ad blockingand engage online buyers can keep any CMO awake at night. So it’s no surprise that contentmarketing is picking up the pace in globally as a solution given its audience-focused merits.Unfortunately, companies in Southeast Asia have been slow to adopt content marketing. This ispartly due to the conflict between instant gratification over ROI and the “slow burn” associatedwith a content marketing approach. Another hurdle is a lack of homogeneity across audiences inAsia. There’s no one-size-fits-all when you’re reaching people from Indonesia to Hong Kong. Thesechallenges are tough, but they are not isolated to content marketing – they are part of everythingdigital marketers do.As we move into 2017, it’s time to reflect on trends impacting digital marketing in the region.

PREDICTION ONE:Businesses will hire people withcontent marketing skill sets.Businesses in APAC increased their production of content in 2016 - whetherit was for personalisation, ABM, demand generation, or brand awareness.These demands were placed on employees who believed their use of contentmarketing was limited-to-basic.Western businesses are succeeding with content marketing because it hasbecome a staple part of their strategy over the past few years. By contrast,content marketing in Southeast Asia is still nascent. Companies will look fortalent who have “content marketing” experience in 2017.70%63%OF MARKETERSplanned toincrease contentproduction in 2016felt their contentmarketing effortswere limited or basicOF BUSINESSLinkedIn Sales & Marketing 2017 Digital & Content Marketing Predictions for Southeast Asia 3Source: “The Asia Pacific Content Marketing Report 2016,” Hubspot
PREDICTION TWO:Marketers will includeupper-funnel metrics to measurecontent marketing effectiveness.While marketers around the world are incorporating content to addressaudience needs throughout the buyer’s journey, measuring its effectivenesscontinues to elude many. This is due to misalignment between objectivesand measurement.Content Marketing PerformanceMetrics Used by B2B MarketingProfessionals Worldwide86%80%As an example, The Content Marketing Institute cited that 72% of marketers aresolving for engagement with branded content in markets like Australia, wherecontent marketing has become a staple. At the same time, when marketers areasked what is used to measure success of efforts in other studies, we see only33% of them are looking at social metrics. This pales in comparison to usingsales conversions as a barometer for success.72%46%52%33%A misalignment on measurement could make the difference in telling yourboard that you’re exceeding goals or missing them. Set up for success bypairing the right metrics with your primary objectives at the start of yourplanning cycle.29%Content Marketing in Australia 2017: Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends, The Content Marketing Institute,November 2016SalesConversionsLinkedIn Sales & Marketing 2017 Digital & Content Marketing Predictions for Southeast Asia 4Number ofLeadsQuality ofLeadsCost Savings /Marketing ROIWebsiteTrafficBrandAwareness/ SocialShares/ MediaMentionsSEO RankingSource: Starfleet Media, “The 2015 Benchmark Report on B2B Content Marketing and Lead Generation,”May 21, 2015 (eMarketer)
PREDICTION THREE:B2B marketers will invest in multi-touchattribution models.Marketers already know that they need sophisticated attribution instead ofrelying on site traffic and search rankings. Frighteningly, many brands do nothave any attribution tracking.56%of SEA marketers do not useany attribution modelsFor marketers using attribution today, first-click is by far the most popular(47%). First-click attribution poses challenges that are unique for B2B brands,who often have a long and complicated buyer’s journey. For B2B, investmentin custom or multi-touch attribution models would more accurately weightmarketing effectiveness and inform campaign optimisation.Top Three Reasons Preventing Adoption ofAttribution Tracking by Asia Pacific Companies55%Lack of knowledgeLinkedIn Sales & Marketing 2017 Digital & Content Marketing Predictions for Southeast Asia 545%Lack of time39%Technology limitationsSource: “State of Marketing Attribution in Asia Pacific,” Econsultancy in association with datalicious, Sept 2015
PREDICTION FOUR:Video content will be tailored to fitthe buyer’s journey.The production cost of video content is one of the most expensive formats forbrands. While video is widely popular with audiences, consumption. This makesit difficult when deciding how much to invest in video.Marketers across Southeast Asia report varying levels of success with video adson a country level. As a whole, objectives like Brand Engagement and FindingDeals were not effective. The best results were found in Triggering ProductInterest, Purchase Intent and Search/Discovery.Most Effective Video Ad Types by Buyer’s Journey StageSearch & DiscoverTrigger ProductInterestTrigger PurchaseIntentHong 7%-40%LinkedIn Sales & Marketing 2017 Digital & Content Marketing Predictions for Southeast Asia 6Source: Digital Consumer View 2016 (Asia), Experian Marketing Services
PREDICTION FIVE:Marketers will gain control of customerengagement with social channels.Across Asia, the media landscape is fragmenting as audiences have more options forinformation. Marketers are struggling with the increased touchpoints in the buyer’sjourney. In fact, only one in three believe they have control of customer engagement.The solution will be social and content. As user adoption of social platforms increasesin emerging Southeast Asian markets, this will create more homogeneity for marketers.The result will be process efficiencies in customer engagement.Only1 in 3marketers feel in control of customer touchpointsLinkedIn Sales & Marketing 2017 Digital & Content Marketing Predictions for Southeast Asia 7“The Asia Pacific Marketing Monitor 2016, “ Kantar TNS
PREDICTION SIX:Snapchat will change the way B2Bmarketers create content.Adoption rates of Snapchat in Southeast Asia are still low but they havedoubled in the past two years. With geo-specific features, amusing selfiefilters, and disappearing content, it’s predominately popular with Millennialsand Gen Z age groups – meaning it’s a prime playground for B2C marketers.For B2B brands, inserting messaging into Snapchat is probably the wrongcontext (#awkward). However, this is a critical space to watch because othersocial platforms have begun to mimic Snapchats features - like InstagramStories. So the way B2B marketers think about creating content and distributingit via social will likely be impacted over time.Snapchat Trends ShapingContent Production in theFutureExclusive, visiblein-the-moment,temporary contentMicro-storytellingHybrid user-generatedcontent and brandmessagingEncouraging audienceself-expressionLinkedIn Sales & Marketing 2017 Digital & Content Marketing Predictions for Southeast Asia 8Source: “Connected Life 2016,” Kantar TNS, October 2016

PREDICTION EIGHT:B2B brands will increase visualstorytelling, specifically via infographics.B2B marketers often rely on data to gain the trust of prospects.
