This was my first infographic

@paddymoogan 
It was shit
All I cared about was links 
@paddymoogan
Things were starting to change 
@paddymoogan
@paddymoogan 
2010 – Caffeine Update
Caffeine was a clue of what would be 
@paddymoogan 
coming
@paddymoogan 
2011
Panda worked very, very well 
@paddymoogan
Organic traffic
Revenue from organic search
There was collateral damage
But Google were fine with that
These didn’t matter as much
What did we do?
We started to invest more in 
@paddymoogan 
understanding content
We invested in outreach & PR
We learned more about creativity 
@paddymoogan
@paddymoogan 
We built this
The Future for Marketers - Strategy, Creativity and Technology
750 Linking Domains, 12,000 Tweets, 150,000 Likes
Our competitors were often beating us 
@paddymoogan
Buying links
Focusing on manipulation of search 
@paddymoogan 
signals
Honestly, we were laughed at 
@paddymoogan
We lost business because of this
We continued to build the creative 
@paddymoogan 
team
We realised that scalable link building 
@paddymoogan 
was at risk
@paddymoogan 
Google had shown us…
I think we will see a "Panda for 
links" 
Will Critchlow, Distilled a few 
months before Penguin
@paddymoogan 
2012
Most SEOs 
Google
…we’d built around 20 “big” content 
pieces and got some good links 
@paddymoogan
Some good, some not so good 
@paddymoogan
But links are only one part of this 
@paddymoogan 
content thing
Strategy 
Creativity Technology
We started to think more about strategy 
@paddymoogan
We were reporting on the wrong things
We were reporting on the wrong things
Measure people, not sessions

3 Big Trends

Your content needs to break 
through filter bubbles
This is good, but not enough
You need a wide range of 
traffic sources to break 
through filter bubbles
Loyalty is your goal
We have a common framework to use 
@paddymoogan
The Future for Marketers - Strategy, Creativity and Technology
6 principles made an idea “sticky” 
Simple 
Unexpected 
Concrete 
Credible 
Emotional 
Story

Emotional 
Story 
It’s a novel execution

Credible 
Emotional 
Story 
It takes something abstract & makes it visible

Emotional 
Story 
Interest in routines of creative people

Emotional 
Story 
It tells the story of these creative people
We use this framework to evaluate all 
@paddymoogan 
our content ideas
The key here isn’t the framework 
@paddymoogan
It’s the ability to give each other useful 
@paddymoogan 
feedback
Hey Phil, I have this 
awesome content 
idea, it’s amazing.
Hey Phil, I have this

No Paddy, it’s shit
We bring our outreach and PR team 
@paddymoogan 
into the process early
What websites do you think would 
cover this content or story? 
@paddymoogan
Would you be happy to promote this 
@paddymoogan 
piece of content?
3 Big Trends 
1. Robots are filtering everything we see 
2. Robots are predicting what we want to see 
3. Content marketing is mobile marketing

You'd just have information come to you as
