Hyper-specificity, audience relevance, context, personalisation. These are all terms being used by B2B marketers to describe what promises to be one of the top content trends of 2014: a move away from creating generic content for broad audience segments, towards highly-targeted content that is relevant to niche audiences in concrete and specific ways.

But what does this move mean for the copywriters who have to create that highly-targeted, niche content?

Fiona is joined by David McGuire of B2B copywriting consultancy Lungfish to discuss some ways in which copywriters can make their content more relevant to niche audiences, including:

  • The benefits of having a single person in mind when writing
  • How to create accurate personas from audience research
  • Imagining the kind of follow-up conversation we want the copy to provoke
  • How to avoid coming across as “creepy”
