The narrative of effective content marketing on any platform, in any language - 2 Nov 2015

By Leigh Andrews

The narrative of effective content marketing on any platform, in any language - Mon, 02 Nov 2015We kick off this week's in-depth articles with an overview of Friday night's Pendoring award winners. Danette Breitenbach attended and spoke to the night's big winners, Dominique Swiegers and Stephne de Villiers from King James Group, who took home the Pendoring Awards Prestige Award as well as a gold in the Live Events & Activations & Direct Communication category for their Sanlam Musiekfees campaign. Click here for a gallery of the 2015 Pendoring award winners and here for social pics.

Tamsyn Kiddle also looks at the power of social media for business-to-business marketing. She explains why B2B marketers favour the 'big three' social networks as marketing tools and offers five key benefits of using social media in a business context.

I also delved into the Narrative behind winning content marketing, by getting Narrative's Content Director Robyn Daly to share their secret at coming out on top at the SA Publication Forum Awards.

Hope this provides some creative inspiration as we ease into the end of the year...
