Question & Answers
Can you explain us what your typical day looks like?
In iPrice’s content marketing team, everyday we try to answer questions such as: What content can we produce when iPhone 11 will launch? How can we collect the data to support such content? What will be the best data visualisation for the story we want to tell our users?
We are also in charge of iPrice’s off-site SEO strategies, so we spend also a fair amount of time discussing how our content activities can further help iPrice’s search marketing activities and the company overall growth.
Biggest myths and misconceptions about Content Marketing?

Your tips for someone who is interested in starting his career in Content Marketing and don’t know where to focus on?
Content marketing is a huge 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 just start by exposing yourself to content marketing activities. That is, creating a content that is insightful, helpful, and bring real 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.
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 writing something.
Best examples of content marketing activities (outside iPrice) in Indonesia?
- Otten Coffee (Brewing Guide). If you are a fan of coffee they have great sources on how to make your own coffee. It’s relevant to their business and super helpful. + The quality of the content is also really good
- Bukalapak (Bukatalks). They are inviting many speakers from different backgrounds to discuss several topics. They do it offline and then upload the content on their youtube channel.
