How To Talk To Executives About B2B Content Value

Summary

Content leaders often struggle with how to best articulate the ways in which content KPIs contribute to the success of the business. Because content is a primary output and enabler for sales, marketing, product, and customer experience, executives must understand its contribution to the business. Content leaders who demonstrate to executives how content affects their objectives make it a more powerful lever for alignment and strategic execution.
