The demand for customized content that meets any particular need continues to rise, yet most people are turned off by invasive online ads that disrupt the user experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/backlinko.com\/ad-blockers-users\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">46.2% of people<\/a> use ad blockers to avoid seeing ads on their computers. That\u2019s why today\u2019s advertisers must optimize branded content as part of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revcontent.com\/blog\/7-benefits-of-content-marketing-you-should-know\/\">content marketing<\/a> strategy to attract a loyal audience, drive quality traffic, and hit revenue goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What exactly is branded content?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Branded content is essentially a paid ad that uses storytelling to connect with an audience on an emotional level. Rather than push a sales agenda, branded content is engaging and typically does one of three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Addresses a social issue<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Educates and informs<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Provides entertainment value<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With branded content, audiences become aware of the brand, but don\u2019t feel as though they\u2019re being sold to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s a good example of branded content?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember <em>The Lego Movie<\/em>? The film is clearly a promotion for Lego products, but the brand name <a href=\"https:\/\/thelegomovie.fandom.com\/wiki\/The_LEGO_Movie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">isn\u2019t mentioned<\/a> until after the end of the movie and nothing in the content actually tells people to buy the product. It\u2019s simply a fun escape from reality that the whole family can enjoy, and is a prime example of branded content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, branded content doesn\u2019t have to be delivered in the form of a feature-length film. It can range from podcasts and videos to infographics and articles. It\u2019s hosted on a company\u2019s own channels, so it isn\u2019t affected by ad blockers. More importantly, it\u2019s non-intrusive and stimulates user response, helping to boost conversions and generate revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Publishing Branded Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to connecting with audiences on a deeper level and circumventing ad blockers, branded content helps to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Build trust:<\/strong> Because branded content adds value to your audience\u2019s lives, people trust you to provide relevant, meaningful information.<\/li><li><strong>Generate retention:<\/strong> Branded content is memorable and leaves a lasting impression so people can easily recall your brand when they need the solutions you provide.<\/li><li><strong>Set yourself apart:<\/strong> Stand out from the competition with clever, witty, or beautifully emotional messages that attract your audience\u2019s attention.<\/li><li><strong>Share your values:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutsocial.com\/insights\/data\/championing-change-in-the-age-of-social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sixty-six percent<\/a> of today\u2019s consumers want to interact with brands who have a strong social or political stance. Show your followers your beliefs, your values, and what matters most to your brand.<\/li><li><strong>Broaden your marketing approach:<\/strong> Reap the benefits of emotional storytelling while continuing to capitalize on your other traditional marketing efforts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revcontent.com\/blog\/what-is-native-advertising-your-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">native advertising<\/a>, branded content draws viewers in and delivers relevant information that resonates with their values, needs, and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revcontent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-Ways-to-Optimize-Branded-Content.pdf\">Download 5 Ways to Optimize Branded Content Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s consumers are more discerning than ever before.&nbsp; The internet grants anyone the ability to search for specific solutions to your unique problems and make calculated, informed decisions about the products you buy.
