I’ve written a lot about content strategy over the past decade. I’ve also highlighted various niche tactics that can help content creators to succeed, as well as plenty ofexamples of excellent content. But I haven’t created many visualisations, and recently I have been keen to do one.
Surprisingly, nobody has yet created a periodic table for content marketing, so I thought I’d have a go.
Before I introduce it, allow me to doff my hat at Dmitri Mendeleev, who first published the periodic table of elements. I’ll also nod in the direction of Danny Sullivan, who created one based around SEO success factors.
Let me also say that I hope that this is helpful, as the world is awash with dubious infographics and I really didn’t want to produce something just for the sake of it.
The usual caveats apply: there will be obvious omissions, possibly duplicated symbols, and other schoolboy errors. I shall fix these things in a future iteration, so please raise a flag if you spot anything.
Ok then, let’s take a look at the table, and I’ll explain my thinking along the way…
