By Matt Bertram

While marketers have occupied a unique position within the hydrocarbon supply chain, the role of marketing communications has never been more important for companies looking to evolve in this sector.

In this article, we'll explore the role that marketers have historically played in the oil and natural gas industry and how they will help shape the future of energy production as energy companies look to diversify their portfolios and rebrand their businesses.

Scaling Content Production: Celebrating The Unsung Hero

By Oli Hearsum

When some brands accelerate their content production, it can quickly lead to a bloated website, with new content being created along the same lines as previous articles (when upcycling older content would've been better).

Or you just end up "doing more", with no clear strategy.

While you can't be too regimented and need to have the flexibility to incorporate new, reactive and timely pieces, there is another way.

Scaling content is tough, all stakeholders in the process need to be bought in, quality cannot be sacrificed for quantity and you can't stop once the pieces are published.

It's a continual process, with constant monitoring of performance and ongoing optimization from when you press publish.

If you manage to scale your content operations, when underpinned by a solid SEO and content strategy, you can ride the wave of the compound interest that this can provide if you maintain that much-revered position for many years to come.

Metaverse: How We Got Here & Where We Go Next

By Wilson Lau

A new trend set to emerge is the corporate metaverse, where companies use the metaverse to train and empower their employees, allowing them to collaborate with each other more effectively from anywhere in the world.

Virtual reality, augmented reality, smart glasses, social media, and cryptocurrency have existed as separate yet related ideas until now.

The metaverse combines these moving parts to create a powerful tool for businesses and marketers alike.
