I'm Dan Martin, Vice President of Brand Marketing
at DHI Group, specifically for the brand Dice.
Dice is the premier career tech marketplace,
connecting technologists with employers and recruiters.
Brand marketing at Dice is all about telling
our story: who we are and what we do.
We were putting out, I believe, excellent
content, but at the point of distribution,
when we completed a piece of content and put
it into a PDF and sent it out, that was really
the last we saw in terms of consumption.
From a measurement standpoint, it was a real
struggle because every metric is so important
in terms of future content creation.
You get to the end of the year and think,
"How effective really was my content marketing program?"
We got to a place where the program was at
its peak from what we could do with a PDF.
In making a decision on interactive content
experiences, what was really important to
us was...
Number 1: Is the platform, the editor itself,
intuitive?
Number 2: the insights.
How good and how valuable is the insights
engine within the product itself?
Foleon had everything that we had needed.
They had the intuitive editor that we liked.
They had the insights that we knew we needed.
From a measurement standpoint, it's been hugely
valuable already.
There's so much more we can do with it.
The measurements themselves have made us look
at "When is there a drop-off in readership
of the content, even with continued distribution?"
The measurements have been everything that
we had hoped for and more.
From a brand standpoint, it has increased
the shareability of the assets themselves.
We could not be happier with how the rollout
of Foleon has gone.
I would describe it as the future of content marketing.
It's changed the game in terms of how we create,
deliver, and measure.
But even just from a strategy standpoint,
how we create content strategy.
This is how content marketing was meant to
be done.
