'Get more out of your content using content mapping'

Interview with Björn Sinnema on Content Mapping

Adwise Academy's new Content Mapping training course helps you increase the reach of your content, add depth and ultimately also extend the lifespan of your content. In this interview, trainer Björn Sinnema tells you all about it.

It's not the first time Björn Sinnema is designing and delivering content mapping training somewhere. "When I saw a vacancy for freelance trainer I started talking, because Adwise Academy has a good name in the industry. It clicked and soon I will be providing the first Content Mapping training for them. This training was still missing from their product range."

What exactly does Content Mapping entail?

"I think almost everyone involved in content marketing has used it at some point, without realizing it. Content mapping is a sustainable way of distributing your content. You chop up your content and tailor it to the channel and the associated audience. This could be a video that you cut up into shorter videos, an article from which you extract certain paragraphs or quotes, but also, for example, a podcast, from which you select an excerpt and have an animation made to go with it. The possibilities are endless."

What do participants learn during the training?

"In this training you take the first step to becoming a Content Mapping professional. Upon completion, you will be able to determine more angles from your content items (video, article, podcast, et cetera) for your content on different channels and know how to reach your audience with relevant updates on the right channel.

You will learn what content mapping is and why you should apply it. We will cover the basics of content mapping and give several real-life examples. In addition, I offer tools for content mapping and we cover practicaltools that you can use to improve the performance of your content, such as management tools for social media. Then we will get to work creating content maps with your own content.
Finally, I zoom in on the benefits of content formats. Formats ensure recognition among your target audience and provide a foothold for the creator. With formats you create an oil slick, especially if they are successful. The flight of AI will also be discussed during the training. What opportunities does this offer for content mapping?"

Since you are new to Adwise Academy: can you tell us a little more about yourself?

"I am Head of Public & Market at Cultuur Kwartier Sneek. I deliberately chose a 0.9 job because I would like to keep doing something in addition to that. Teaching ensures that I meet new, interesting people, can transfer my knowledge and keeps me fresh. That's why I am now also a freelance trainer at Adwise Academy. Before that I was, among other things, Lead Content at iClicks, Content Manager at Axioma Content Marketing & Communication and editor and podcast maker at the industry organization Platform Content. I was also Content Director at The Post - Office of Content Marketing. So I've been in the business a bit longer."

What appeals to you so much about content marketing and specifically content mapping?

"That you are forced to think carefully beforehand about what you want to communicate where and what audiences you want to reach. You're engaging in content without being pusillanimous. It's all about good, unique content that you want to get the most out of."

Finally, why should people take this training?

"Content marketing for many marketers is purely the article, podcast or video. And that one-time use is a waste. You can get so much more out of your content if you know who your audience is, what channels they're on and how to adapt your content accordingly and distribute it smartly. During this training you will learn to play with this, so you can add depth and be more relevant. For me as a trainer, I always take home new things as well. I bring something to the participants, but they certainly bring something to me as well! Learning from each other is the most fun there is."
