Valuable Content Award
Every month in our Valuable Content newsletter we award an outstanding company with a Valuable Content Award.
To win a Valuable Content award your business website needs to be packed with helpful, authentic content, written with passion, presented with the user in mind. We only verify sites that we believe are genuinely useful to web users. Winners get the coveted Valuable Content Award badge to display on their site.
The Valuable Content Award for January 2012 goes to…..
The McKay Flooring Ltd blog – an absolutely brilliant example of how content marketing should be done. They’ve got it just right – sales site, blog, newsletter and resources. A really helpful site showcasing everything you need to know about flooring. Who knew flooring could be exciting? What’s not to love!Recent award winners
November 2011: Hinge Marketing for their valuable LinkedIn group - The Professional Services Executive Forum. This is by far the most engaged and useful group we’ve come across to date with real business owners debating thorny business issues. The latest thread ‘What’s the toughest part of launching a new website?’ motivated over 30 comments and a fascinating debate – valuable content indeed and a fantastic showcase for Hinge’s expertise. This is the 2nd award for Hinge this year (their website was a winner in the Spring). Congratulations Hinge – you are raising the bar.November 2011: Copywriter Jim O’Connor for his new blog Stories That Sell. Jim is a very talented copywriter. For years he’s had a website to promote his services: it was always superbly crafted but it was really just an online portfolio and didn’t generate consistent leads. Now he’s started sharing valuable content by adding a blog to the site and as he says: “it’s gone mad!” The leads are coming in thick and fast. Content and copy go hand in hand: valuable content pulls people in and clever copywriting converts them – every website needs a bit of both. Witty and insightful we recommend Jim’s articles whole heartedly. We love this blog!
October 2011: Financial planners BPH Wealth Management for their valuable articles. This firm believes in creating a balance between life and money. Their website has just the right mix of insight, opinion and company news to get their message and personality across. Congratulations BPH!
September 2011: Brand new web design agency Yoke Design for their beautifully designed, content rich website that’s piling in the leads. Yoke is a design company making a difference. They are crystal clear on who they want to work for and their articles hit the mark. Congratulations Jay and Al! Read our case study Yoke – From Launch to Ideal Client in 6 Weeks.
US business advice firm Huntington Copper for their exceptionally well-designed website and mix of articles and downloads. We love their clear calls to action throughout. First class consultancy content that absolutely sets them apart. See: www.huntingtoncopper.com.
