How Is AI Affecting Content Marketing in the Digital World

Data research

Keyword research

Studying analytics and trends

Data review

Search engine optimization

And finally content creation!

These are some of the many important tasks that a digital marketer does before actually writing any content. Such tasks add up to take away from some valuable hours that could be spent writing or editing.. However, as artificial intelligence isn’t a thing of the future anymore, it has already started to change the game of content marketing. Content marketing includes marketing content written for social media posts, seo, and websites. It is not just writing but includes researching, editing, uploading, and promoting this content.

So what is AI and how can it impact, or maybe even improve, content marketing?

AI or Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence in machines. This technology leverages computers or machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind. According to data, the global AI market value is expected to reach $267 billion by 2027.

One of the best digital marketing agencies in Ahmedabad, Flora Fountain is here to help you understand how this technology has affected or should we say benefited the content marketing strategy in the digital world.

BETTER RESEARCH & INSIGHTS

Creating content may seem like it’s an easy job to do. But it involves a lot of time, money, effort and intellect to come up with ideas and convert them into engaging content on social media and other digital media platforms. Research plays an extensive and important role in content creation. In our experience, right from professional content writing in Ahmedabad to strategising and executing local and national campaigns, its efficiency in the digital world depended a great deal on reaching the right person at the right time. And this involved many manual hours of research and data collection done by our teams.

Fortunately, AI exists! AI collects, analyses, and compares data faster than a human. And this data provides them with insights to form a cohesive and smarter content strategy. A strategy that is relevant, trending, and has been curated on the basis of numbers.

For instance, Instagram provides insights of the audience that the brand targets. It even helps detect the best times and channels to publish content. When it shows such insights a marketer or content strategist empowered with this knowledge can come up with a more customised content strategy for the brand.

CONTENT CURATION

Coming up with something new to write is a tedious task. And what is all the more difficult is to create perfect copies, captions and blogs that connect the brand with its target audiences. But just like AI helps with the research and data collection for content creation, there are tools which help curate and correct content to ensure the promotional material is error-free. Speaking from our experience of professional content writing in Ahmedabad, we have been able to curate our content, its language and focus on the basis of the region and the audience it is being targeted to.

Content Marketing Vs Content Writing: It’s Different!

EVERYTHING is CONTENT!

The 50 billion pictures on Instagram, the 500 hours of videos uploaded on YouTube every minute and the 7.5 million blog posts published on the internet. But many still believe content is just writing, thereby mixing up the ideas of Content Marketing and Content Writing.

As a content marketing agency in Ahmedabad, Flora Fountain has had days where their writers and digital marketers had to explain the difference between the two ideas to almost every person (even clients) that they meet.

So, here’s all the tea, to understand what exactly is content, and the difference between content writing and content marketing.

CONTENT

Content is information, art, ideas and experiences, expressed in the form of words, pictures, speech, graphics or moving visuals published either digitally or on print, for an end user to consume.

Okay, okay… Let’s try putting it in simpler words, shall we?

All kinds of photographs, blogs, articles, captions, ad copies, videos, reels, music, podcasts, graphic design or animated visuals are content.

And the internet is an ever flowing stream of content, good, bad and ugly!

CONTENT WRITING

Content writing is all about putting ideas into words, creatively and in a simpler form. Writing content can be something like an advertisement copy of just 5 words, or a thesis of 5000 words. And in digital marketing, some of the best content writing companies produce written content in the form of captions for social media posts, marketing copies for online promotions, content for websites, blogs like this, articles for newspapers and magazines, copies for print ads in magazines or hoardings, or even scripts for videos.

Content writers include bloggers, brand journalists, copywriters, ghost-writers, SEO writers, technical writers, etc.

CONTENT MARKETING

Content marketing is basically marketing to strategically promote a brand or business on a digital platform, using smartly created content like blogs, pictures, creative posters and videos.

IT IS NOT JUST WRITTEN COPY! But yes, written content does play a crucial role in content marketing, as every great marketing idea first comes to life in the form of a copy.

Content marketing is done through blogs, case studies, emailers, social media posts, video, website content, articles, ad copies, infographics and a lot more.

To sum up, Content Writing involves creating various types of written products, which can then be used to produce other forms of content and further implemented into Content Marketing to promote a business or a brand.
