Big thing you want to say…
So why are marketers?
Big thing you want to say…
There’s more to engagement than clicks.
Big thing you want to say…
Clicks don’t make someone buy.
Your content does.

Big thing you want to say…
So we need to:
a) Get someone to the content / the content to them
Big thing you want to say…
b) Get them to engage with the content
Big thing you want to say…
c) Know they’ve actually engaged
Big thing you want to say…
Particularly because the buyer’s journey has changed*.
* SiriusDecisions: 67% of the buyer’s journey happens digitally
Big thing you want to say…
Where are your prospects in the funnel when they put up their hand?
Big thing you want to say…
And with prospects self-educating, the content experience is critical.
Big thing you want to say…
LookBooks increase content engagement.
Big thing you want to say…
And track it.
Amongst other things ;)
Big thing you want to say…
What is a LookBook?
Big thing you want to say… LookBooks are new. And therefore not the easiest to describe…
• Engaging content experience – “Simple idea, well executed”
• Publishing layer for distributed content (including earned media & 3rd party content)
• Storytelling tool for busy audiences
• Super easy-to-make microsite (no IT / coding)
• “LookBooks are the content experience version of Ikea” – which is apparently a good thing (!)
Big thing you want to say… LookBooks = Conversion Engine for Content
Don’t “Waste The Click”
If someone engages with A, get them to engage with B, C & D while you have their attention
Use across all your channels – wherever you generate clicks
Big thing you want to say… LookBooks let marketers aggregate and sequence the right pieces of content to the right audience
And / or sequence the content so you make it clear exactly what it is
you want your prospects to engage with next (clear signposts)
Aggregate the right pieces of content you need your audience to engage
with into a single, engaging experience – pages from your website, your blog,
third party websites, white papers, videos, use cases, etc.
Big thing you want to say… Like this:
Big thing you want to say… LookBooks can be experienced via / used as destinations across multiple channels
Targeted Ads Email Web Page Social
Door for Persona
A Door for Persona
B
Website Email Ads Social Networks
Drive prospects to either the Tiled view…
…or take them directly to content and sequence the rest of the Tiles
Destination = LookBook
Big thing you want to say… LookBooks track engagement in aggregate (i.e. per content asset) and per prospect per content asset
Big thing you want to say… Higher engagement – however you generate a click

watching each piece of content, we can better align our follow up nurture
emails to get the right content in front of the people who are most likely to
respond.”
