Identifying hurdles
Content marketing, especially through organic mediums such as Google Search is extremely competitive.
In order to have a chance at success, D3V had to outrank millions of existing pages, some of which were from much bigger companies.
Having experimented with content marketing before, D3V decided that the best way to achieve their goal of sustainable organic traffic was to create high-quality, original content in the form of thought leadership blogs, news articles, white papers, and more.

First steps
Starting in 2019, D3V Tech hired Prakhar Singh of House of Brilliant Ideas in a consultancy role to write the copy for their new website and create a starting point for D3V’s business messaging.
With success right off the bat, D3V Tech decided to expand the scope of the partnership. Working closely with D3V’s internal marketing team, we identified the ideal target demographics, communication channels, as well as themes and topics.
Based on this, we outlined a strategy and the developed the first campaign. As we’d continue working together for the next 3 years, we refined and improved every step of the process to make it faster, more efficient, and more impactful.

Deliverables
The key deliverable were informative blog posts called Insight Articles. These would later be repurposed for Medium for additional exposure and referral traffic to the website.
In 2020, D3V also introduced Cloud News articles to balance the evergreen, long-form content with shorter pieces, written with viral marketing in mind.
We also wrote two eBooks, dozens of case studies, and white papers for D3V during this period.

Insight Articles
The original goal of Insight Articles was to break down complex cloud topics in an easily-digestible format for non-tech founders and legacy business owners.
Insight Articles today, however, are far more versatile, including both Cloud News and Technical Guides.

Lead magnets are a powerful of driving engagement, finding warm leads, and building a mailing list. At D3V, we focused on two types of lead magnets - eBook and white papers.
We planned and wrote The What, Why and How of Building Apps on the Cloud.
In addition to this eBook, we also created collateral for other gated content including white paper and education initiatives such as webinars and workshops.

Dusting off the archives
One of the core beliefs at D3V Tech is educating others - not just potential leads but also developers, aspiring freelancers, and small business owners. We share this belief, both at a personal level and at an organization level.
The world faced numerous new challenges in 2020 and so did the team at D3V. However, it’s important to look at the silver lining because when life closes one door, it opens another (if not several others). And when uncertainty strikes, marketing budgets are often the first to land on the cutting board. However, instead of completely seizing marketing efforts, D3V decided to repurpose as much content. Finding new life for information on new platforms.
We improved existing content, updating it in light of recent developments, and published it on a new platform - driving more traffic and engagements.
