AdRoll, a digital marketing and growth platform, has been a player in the retargeting space for 15+ years. But a few years ago, the company realized it needed to branch outside of just the retargeting category in order to build long-term relationships with its customers. This led to one big, looming question: how was AdRoll supposed to enter a new category after spending such a long time playing in one space?
The answer: content marketing.
Julie Zhou, VP of Growth at AdRoll, credits a content strategy focused on breadth, instead of depth, to AdRoll's expansion success. Through this strategy, Julie's team was able to figure out what content resonated with their customers and how to engage prospects at scale.
On this episode of Growth, Julie and colleague Shae Henrie (AdRoll's senior content manager) join Matt to talk about what the process behind a broad content strategy looked like, how they narrowed it down as they figured out what content resonated, and why product, growth, and content teams should always be in lockstep.
