11. Case Study
Challenge:
Dell needed to create hundreds of
landing pages across dozens of
countries and campaign managers.
They needed to ensure brand
consistency but also the flexibility for
globalization. Most importantly, they
needed to scale quickly, rolling out
global campaigns across many regions
with fast turnarounds.
Solution:
Leverage an interactive content
platform that provided page
templates that allowed them to
quickly launch and test targeted
pages and microsites without
help from developers. These
were managed by the marketers
of the specific regions but with
“locked down” branded
elements.
Results:
They experienced great results,
attributing their landing page
initiative to increasing sales
opportunities by 10x in a two-
year span.

22. Challenge:
As part of its content marketing strategy,
Cisco produces the Global Cloud Index
report, an in-depth forecast of data center
usage and other key trends in cloud-based
computing. In the past, the company tried
to capture the attention of its B2B audience
with white papers, infographics and videos
to support its study but it became cost
prohibitive to produce annually.
Solution:
Cisco consumerized its approach
to B2B marketing with
snackable, social micro-content.
They outsourced the full
production (script writers,
animators, project manager) of
four micro-videos designed to
engage audiences and be shared
on social media - like Instagram
and YouTube.
Results:
40% savings on video creation.
Without any paid media support,
Cisco’s videos received 4 million
impressions and more than
2,000 engagements on social
media. The cost of the video
project was 40% less expensive
than previous projects.

Oracle needed to create hundreds of
education based articles in a short time
period. They needed industry expertise
and massive scaling that would require

vetted, freelance network that
allowed their 45 SMEs to
coordinate with 25 writers, 2
editors, and a PM, all of whom
were able to complete Oracle

37. Challenge:
With three groups focusing on all areas of
the corporate talent spectrum, Korn Ferry’s
marketing team is often tasked with
creating insightful content for decision-
makers from a wide array of dissimilar
industries. Korn Ferry hoped to help each
piece of its content find the right customer
at the right time without becoming
redundant.
Solution:
Korn Ferry used data from its
interactive content in conjunction
with Marketo to create better-
focused, data-driven solutions for
user-centered marketing resulting in
more impactful, and useful,
marketing communication.
Interactive content helped them to
improve the audience experience by
bridging the gap between what
clients had already seen versus what
they might want to see.

Results:
“Sending a firehose of data to
Marketo simply slows down
processing, not to mention blowing
open the door for false positives,”
Foley says. “But we’re now able to tell
Marketo who has engaged with
which content. Then we can take it to
the next level and send clients more
of the content they’re interested in.”
