Perth’s Leading Content Asset Development Services

What is Content Asset Development? 

A content marketing asset is any content produced by a business to provide value to someone and assist them in making decisions that favour that business. The content may be designed to attract attention and increase brand awareness, develop interest and desire, deepen engagement, or nurture customer relationships along different stages of the buyer journey—with the ultimate goal of closing a sale.

A content marketing asset could have different types of impact: it informs or inspires, educates or entertains, teases or titillates, even shocks or alarms the consumer of that content to keep their attention long enough to develop favourable perceptions of the business producing those assets, and it encourages consumers to buy from that business.

Why are content marketing assets important for business? 

Just as financial assets possess value and can provide future benefits to the owner, content marketing assets do the same for the content owner. Content assets attract audiences by providing value to them, keeping them coming back for more.

Examples of Content Marketing Assets

The huge range and variety of content marketing assets are only limited by the imagination, technology, and resources directed to produce them. Numerous examples are mentioned along with the list of content marketing channels listed on our content marketing overview page, but they are by no means exhaustive.

Augmented reality (AR), Mixed reality (MR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), interactive content, shoppable posts, and programmatic advertising are just some trends that bring more opportunities to develop new and exciting content marketing assets to engage audiences, gain market share, and extend Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).

Too many options? We’ve prepared a handy list below. Each suggestion provides:

• Strategic intent: each one is aligned with key phases of the buyer journey. For example, to create awareness.
