His case study was a supply chain professional services firm offering supply chain focused educational and thought leadership content in its blog for its 7,000 supply chain managers.
Ummm, yeah -- that makes sense. A supply chain professional services firm would want to offer supply chain managers the information, insights and community interaction around what they need to be successful.
Maybe it was the use of the word "boring" and the implication that "no one" could possibly be interested in supply chain management. And that this firm somehow achieved the impossible and made the topic interesting.
"Boring" is great, provocative copy for a headline about content marketing. But supply chain related guidance, tips and white papers are not at all boring to supply chain managers. I would like to believe that this is the career these folks have chosen, where they have developed their skills and proficiencies over time and where they find their flow.
So to me, this case study once again illustrates the goodness that can happen when you learn about and understand your target audience.
