Can your content sound professional and still have personality? Absolutely.
B2B decision-makers are people too, and their day gets better when consuming relevant information for their jobs doesn't feel like a painful, mind-numbing slog. Help them ENJOY your marketing content, and you'll be surprised at how much better your business outcomes will become.
To see a masterclass of this in the wild, just look at this piece that my team at Kalyna Marketing helped create for Mole Street, a consultancy that implements Hubspot-as-a-Solution: https://lnkd.in/eYFBcVYc
Mole Street are, in every sense, experts. They're a HubSpot Elite Solutions Partner, they have an unbelievable track record of results and happy clients, and they know their work inside and out. So... how did we showcase their expertise?
With lines like these:
- "Here's the thing: 'it's not you, it's me', doesn't ring true when it comes to outdated tech, clunky workflows, and siloed, inaccessible data."
- "Humble brag: we hold the highest level of HubSpot accreditations and certifications available."
- "If you’re feeling any of these uncertainties over the unknown, we get it."
- "Without going too deep, let’s explore our team’s five-phase HubSpot migration process to reduce risk and anxiety."
Why do these work? Because the small asides, human touches, moments of vulnerability, and humor – they prove Mole Street don't just know what they're talking about, they know how people will FEEL about those subjects. They've had these conversations so many times before that they can empathize with the reader.
What my wonderful team has done (Alyson Hunter and Tawni Sattler) is to let Mole Street's team shine in their full humanity. We wrote the post not just to share facts, but to show how likeable these people are. How great they'd be to work with. How fun they'd be to talk to.
Doesn't that make you trust them all the more?
Thank you to Brendan Walsh, Michele Herzog, Chris DiPietro, and the rest of Mole Street's team for being such great clients to work with. You're a delight!
