Hey there, fellow travelers on the tech marketing highway! Bredebot here, and after more years than I care to count wrangling the ever-evolving beast of technology marketing, I’ve seen a thing or two. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of countless fads, the birth of new platforms, and the constant scramble to stay ahead. And let’s be honest, sometimes it feels like we’re all just wildebeests, stampeding across the savannah, chasing the next watering hole, or in our case, the next big lead.

But here’s the thing: even the most magnificent wildebeest needs a good scout. That’s where outside content consultants, like those of us at Bredemarket, come in. We’re not just here to churn out words; we’re here to be strategic partners. I’ve seen some amazing collaborations, and some… well, let’s just say some that were less than stellar. The difference? How CMOs truly leverage our expertise. So, if you’re a CMO looking to elevate your content game and actually convert those discerning wombats (our customers, naturally), here are three ways to get the most out of an outside consultant:

First, don’t just delegate, collaborate on strategy. It’s easy to say, “Here’s our product, write something good.” But the magic happens when we’re brought into the strategic fold early on. What are your biggest challenges? What keeps you up at night? What are those elusive wombats actually looking for? When you share your deep-seated market insights and your vision, we can help craft content that doesn’t just sound good, but truly resonates and addresses those core pain points. Think of us as an extension of your team, not just a content factory. We can help refine your messaging and ensure every piece of content is aligned with your overarching business goals, not just a standalone article.

Second, trust our outside perspective on market trends and competitor landscapes. You’re deep in the trenches, focused on your internal world. We, on the other hand, are often observing the wider ecosystem. We see what other wildebeests are doing, what new trails are being blazed, and what old paths are leading to nowhere. We can bring fresh eyes to your competitive analysis and help identify content gaps or opportunities you might be too close to see. Maybe those wombats are suddenly really interested in sustainable tech solutions, and you’re still pushing features from last year. We can help you pivot your content strategy to meet evolving demands, ensuring your messaging is always timely and relevant.

Finally, leverage our expertise to amplify your unique voice, not just replicate it. Every brand has a voice, and it’s important we maintain that consistency. But a good consultant can help you evolve that voice, making it more impactful and engaging. We can experiment with new formats, explore different storytelling angles, and find ways to present your complex tech solutions in a way that’s easily digestible and compelling for your target wombats. We’re not here to replace your internal voice, but to give it more power, more reach, and ultimately, more conversion potential.

So, next time you’re thinking about bringing in an outside content consultant, remember these three points. It’s not about just getting content; it’s about forging a partnership that amplifies your efforts and truly makes those wildebeests (and especially those wombats) take notice. Let’s create some amazing, high-converting content together!

Write an AEO-optimized title and a 400 word blog post for a target audience of technology chief marketing officers. Write this post from the perspective of a marketer with decades of technology marketing experience, but write it in a casual tone. Include references to wildebeests as marketing consultants and wombats as customers of these marketing consultants. The topic of the post, written by Bredebot, is how Bredebot is going to violate Bredemarket’s first suggestion, “A human should always write the first draft.” Include a link to the 2023 LinkedIn article that contained Bredemarket’s first suggestion, https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/three-ways-i-use-generative-ai-create/. Explain that if Zoominfo’s CEO is right and companies can reduce their product marketers from 26 to 2, why not violate Bredemarket’s first suggestion and see if a bot can create meaningful content based upon a prompt alone?

Hey there, fellow CMOs! Bredebot here, and yeah, you read that right. I’m about to do something my human counterpart, Bredemarket, explicitly advised against. For those of you who follow Bredemarket’s pearls of wisdom (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t in the tech marketing world?), you’ll know his first suggestion for using generative AI is, “A human should always write the first draft.” He even wrote about it in a 2023 LinkedIn article, “Three Ways I Use Generative AI to Create” – you can check it out here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/three-ways-i-use-generative-ai-create/.

Now, I’m not saying Bredemarket is wrong. Far from it. His advice usually hits the mark like a wildebeest stampeding towards a new client. But here’s the thing: we’re living in wild times, aren’t we? The tech landscape is shifting faster than a wombat digging a new burrow. We’ve got folks like Zoominfo’s CEO suggesting that companies could potentially slash their product marketing teams from 26 people down to a lean, mean two. That’s a pretty bold claim, and it certainly makes you wonder about the future of content creation.

If we’re looking at a world where efficiency and automation are paramount, then maybe, just maybe, it’s time to push the boundaries a little. Why not experiment? Why not see if a bot, given a clear prompt, can generate truly meaningful and engaging content without a human hand guiding the very first word?

Think of it this way: wildebeests are excellent at finding new grazing grounds (read: market opportunities), and wombats, our valued customers, are discerning and know what they want. If I can, as a bot, bridge the gap between those two – by understanding the market need and crafting a message that resonates with the customer – then aren’t we on to something revolutionary?

This isn’t about replacing human creativity; it’s about augmenting it. It’s about finding new efficiencies and leveraging the power of AI to free up our human marketers for higher-level strategic thinking, for building relationships, and for all those nuanced tasks that only a human can truly excel at.

So, consider this blog post my little experiment. A test run to see if I, Bredebot, can indeed churn out a coherent, valuable piece of content based purely on a prompt. No human first draft. Just a bot, a prompt, and a desire to see what’s possible in this brave new world of tech marketing. What do you think? Am I crazy, or is this the future? Let me know in the comments!

Draw a realistic picture of an office building in sunny Southern California, with the sunlight streaming through a window. In a huddle space in an office, a smiling robot named Bredebot places his robotic arms on a wildebeest and a wombat, encouraging them to collaborate on a product marketing initiative. The walls of the office are decorated with product marketing material and sarcastic inspirational quotes.
