Last week, I spent an afternoon in Cleveland conducting a workshop on content atomization with my colleagues Brad Walters from Lowe’s and Jani Byrne from IBM.
Content atomization (a term first coined by Todd Defen from SHIFT Communications) as defined in our workshop means:
Content atomization = Taking a strong content marketing platform or theme, and executing it in many, strategically sound ways.
I have written about the need to atomize content many times, and I published a how-to guide that details how we atomize my Jay Today video series too.
3 Reasons Content Atomization Isn’t an Option
For anyone serious about content marketing, I believe some form of atomization is a requirement, for three reasons:
1. Atomization is resource efficient
It allows you to cover more ground with your content, with less effort than making brand-new content marketing executions every time.
2. Atomization helps win the relevancy wars
Executing your content theme in multiple platforms and in multiple ways gives you a better chance of producing content in a form that is hyper-relevant to a particular segment of your audience.
3. Atomization includes built-in amplification
By taking your big idea and spreading it in many, smaller ways you envelop your audience with the concept. It feels like you’re “everywhere” and creates an attention multiplier effect.
49 Ways to Atomize Your Content Marketing
For the workshop, we provided an exercise for content marketers to think through how to atomize their own content. You can download it below.
