TABE OF CONTENTS
Introduction to native content
Native content is content that integrates naturally into the platform on which it is published, appearing to be part of the site's organic content rather than a traditional ad.
Not only does native content improve the user experience by not interrupting their browsing, but it also generates greater engagement and brand trust, which can translate into better results for your advertising campaigns.
By combining native content with paid media campaigns, you can maximise your reach and effectiveness, leveraging the credibility and user-friendly format of native content along with the targeting and reach of paid advertising.
Advantages of native content
-
Increased engagement: Users interact more with content that they perceive as relevant and non-intrusive.
-
Improved user experience: By integrating naturally into their environment, native content does not interrupt the browsing experience.
-
Increased credibility and trust: Users are more likely to trust content that appears genuine and relevant.
-
Better performance of advertising campaigns: Perceived as less intrusive, native content can generate better conversion rates and return on investment (ROI).
Define your native content strategy: objectives, audience and platforms.
Before diving into content creation, it's crucial to establish a solid foundation. Define your specific objectives: are you looking to increase brand awareness, generate leads or drive sales?
With this in mind, identify your target audience: who do you want to reach with your message? Understand their interests, needs and online behaviours.
Finally, select the paid media platforms where your audience spends their time. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube... the options are varied. Make sure you choose the platforms that best suit your strategy and objectives.
Creation of native content
Native content should be engaging, relevant and valuable to your target audience. Research popular formats such as articles, infographics, videos or social media posts.
Make sure the content integrates naturally into the selected platforms. It should maintain authenticity and relevance, while avoiding appearing to be an interruption.
Tips for maintaining authenticity and relevance
-
Research your audience thoroughly: Understand their needs and interests to create content that resonates with them.
-
Go for quality: Produce well-written, informative and visually appealing content.
-
Be authentic: Show your brand's personality and connect with your audience on an emotional level.
-
Include a clear call to action: Tell users what you want them to do after consuming your content.
