What is Content Distribution?

Content Distribution means adressing your target group through intelligent use of owned media channels.

But yet without the use of paid media (which would be Content Promotion).

What does that mean?

Content Distribution means making your content accessible through all the relevant channels you have available.

And what‘s next? Content Promotion!

Content Promotion means targeting specific target groups through Paid Media (e.g. Native Advertising) oder Earned Media (e.g. PR oder Influencer Marketing).

Which means that promotion usually requires a dedicated paid media budget.

Guiding Principles of Content Amplification

1. Amplification isn’t an afterthought! – Think about how the content will be distributed before authoring it. Take a look at

your competitor’s best work and make yours better with more robust content and better design

2. Focus on creating “Big Content” – Use engagement data to determine the pieces of high-quality content to support

with paid media. This approach is better than supporting a large quantity of mediocre content

3. Align content to where the reader is– Know what type of content resonates and drives engagement with different

channel audiences (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, etc.) 4. Extract sharable pieces from your content

– Use snippets of your content to promote social sharing and drive clicks back to the content source
