6 (ethical) attention economy business strategies
“Every business today is in constant competition for today’s most valuable resource – attention. And you are competing against 24-7 global news, Kim Kardashian, the latest internet outrage, and newsfeed filled with clickbait,” writes Senior Manager of Marketing at HubSpot, Janessa Lantz. Here is her list of the 6 characteristics that enable content to compete for the “rarest, scarcest, most valuable” resource of all today: attention.
Personalization: content tailored for specific audiences, or niche content
Interpretation: providing support in developing understanding of a given topic or speciality via curation, community building, and research
Authenticity: lack of polish and realness = trustability
Accessibility: For example, online publishing platform Medium, cofounder by Twitter’s Evan Williams, increased the accessiblity of their content through a feature that allows suscribers to bookmark articles to read later offline.
Delivery formats that increase value, such as channel-specific content and in-person events
Findability: Services that “filter out irrelevant content and surface the good stuff” are highly sought by consumers today.
