What Is Syndicated Content?

Syndicated content within B2B marketing refers to marketing material that is distributed across channels not owned by the original content creator. The main objective of B2B content syndication is typically lead generation, and to distribute your content to new and relevant audiences.

For example, at Headley Media, we share our technology clients’ content across our extensive portfolio of content syndication platforms. These platforms are essential for promoting our clients’ content to a new, and highly targeted, audience of tech decision-makers.

The content you choose to syndicate will depend on the specific goals of your campaign. While the type of syndicated content varies from client to client, we typically recommend using company whitepapers, research reports, eBooks, and case studies.

More recently, we’ve also seen clients incorporate a more diverse range of formats, such as video and audio content, to enhance the effectiveness of their content syndication campaigns.

The key to successfully syndicating your content is to make it highly useful for your intended audience. This increases the likelihood of it being utilized by B2B buyers when researching new products or industry-specific topics.

At Headley Media, our team of B2B tech marketing experts are on hand to help you with every element of your content syndication campaigns. From deciding what type of campaign is the best to run based on your objectives, to choosing the most relevant content to syndicate, our team will help you every step of the way.

B2B content syndication is effective for lead generation for several reasons:

  • Syndicated content expands your reach beyond your owned channels, helping you connect with a larger audience.
  • You can target your audience more precisely using industry-specific content syndication platforms, such as IT Corporate.
  • B2B content syndication maximizes the impact of your content production efforts, extending the reach and effectiveness of your material.
  • Content syndication campaigns with a reputable supplier provide a fully traceable, 100% digital journey for each new lead generated. Check out Headley Media’s Methodology for a real example of content syndication in action.

B2B Content Syndication Platforms: What to Look Out For

When running B2B content syndication campaigns to generate high quality leads, choosing a reputable content syndication platform is the best place to start.

Not all content syndication B2B platforms are created equal, and the lead generation industry has more than its fair share of shady players, so you need to choose a supplier carefully.

Many B2B lead generation agencies buy leads in from 3rd parties. They don’t own their own content syndication platforms, so they can’t show you the journey each lead took to become a lead.

When running content syndication campaigns, it’s essential to know how your new leads first became familiar with your brand. This information will help you to build on your relationship with them. For example, if you know they downloaded a certain piece of syndicated content, you can nurture your leads by sharing similar content that’s more likely to hold their interest than something generic.

Another key part of the content syndication process to watch out for is data and lead validation. Not all B2B content syndication vendors authenticate each lead’s details or prove the lead consented to hear from you. This approach compromises the quality of your leads and puts you in danger of breaching data privacy laws like GDPR.

So how can you be sure you’re trusting your content syndication campaigns to a reliable supplier?

Transparency is the key.

A good place to start is with their Methodology. Get your prospective B2B content syndication vendors to show you how syndicating content on their platform works from the leads’ perspective.

There are also several key questions you can ask your potential supplier. Can they confirm they won’t subcontract your content syndication campaigns to a 3rd party? Do they guarantee data compliance in all their target markets?
