Question & Answers

#1 Can you explain to us what your typical day looks like at RevoU?

In general, I did a few things on a day to day: Having meetings with each of the content marketers to discuss various topics.

But most of the time is to help them whenever there is a blocker they face.

The blockers can vary from a career-related topic to technical stuff/ projects they are handling.

I also do other things to constantly learn and understand what’s happening outside to inspire different content marketing activities at RevoU!

#2 Biggest myths and misconceptions about Content Marketing?

Most businesses think that Producing content = Content Marketing.

But in reality, the soul of content marketing is to produce content that can educate and entertain our audience about the topics relevant to our business or services!

#3 Your proudest professional achievement at RevoU?

First is being able to hire/ maintain amazing people in the CM team.

I am a firm believer that people are the most critical aspects of an organization.

So being able to work with amazing people in my team is such a privilege.

These people are the ones who produce all great content marketing pieces at RevoU’s blog, social media, and digital PR!

Let me mention everyone here: Ivy, Sarah, Demir, and Deny!

#4 What drives you to work in your current industry?

Firstly, for EduTech, I realized that I gained extra energy to share my knowledge with others, especially when they got the benefits!

So my interest is aligned with RevoU’s products, + I got a chance to continue teaching in one class.

Secondly, for Content marketing: The more I study Content Marketing (from 2016-now), the more I realized that it’s an approach that is still very rare in Indonesia and even Southeast Asia.

Mainly what we are doing now at RevoU (Full-stack Content Marketing).

We explore different content marketing strategies (Blog, Social Media, Digital PR) that small companies can do well currently.

#7 Your tips for someone interested in starting his career in Content Marketing (aside from applying to RevoU :)?

Content marketing is a broad topic.

It’s hard to know precisely what you want to focus on in the early stage of your career in the content marketing field.

My suggestion is to start by exposing yourself to content marketing activities.

Creating insightful, helpful content and that brings tangible benefits to the readers/viewers/listeners.

…and learn as much as possible from all the experts in the field by reading/watching/listening to their work.

#8 The fundamental skills a Content Marketing Specialist is expected to have?

#1 Behavioural:

• Curiosity & continues learning. The trend and content marketing platform is kept evolving. We need to learn about this continuously!
• Research & experiment. It’s all about learning & producing content, and test it for your audience.
  

#2 Technical:

• Writing. Able to translate the ideas you have in your head into easy to understand writings
• Basic design & visualization. At least you know the fundamentals of design to differentiate what good and bad visual is
• Social Media. At least you learn to use different social media like Instagram, TikTok, Linked In, etc.
  

#9 What distinguishes a good Content Marketer from a great one?

Great content marketers know what story they want to tell via their content.

They are not just creating content for the sake of producing something.

#10 Best examples of Content Marketing campaigns (outside RevoU) in Indonesia?

In Indonesia, many brands start investing in Content Marketing, especially on social media & blogs!

• On Instagram: Glints, Inspigo, Bibit, Netflix ID
