Eloqua has done a great job of focusing on content marketing as a topic, a priority for the demand generation marketers who are driving adoption of marketing automation platforms.
The Content Strategist
Joe Chernov, vice president of content marketing at Eloqua, puts it this way: “If someone comes in hawking e-books and info-graphics, I’ll be less interested in hiring them because I’ll get the sense that the person is looking only at the content type, and not necessarily placing it in context of the larger business objective.”
The WOMMA Word
The “soft” benefits of content marketing are obvious: public trust, more engaged prospects, and happier clients. But what about the hard benefits? What about ROI? Content Marketing ROI is the first study to address the fundamental questions: How much does content marketing cost and is it a better financial investment than other marketing strategies?

Eloqua teamed up with JESS3 to create a new animated video called “What is Revenue Performance Management?” It’s a follow-up to “The Future of Revenue,” which Eloqua and JESS3 released 18 months ago.
