Content marketing is pull: creating content the audience wants to see -- and will actively seek out on their own. That's why, for many companies, content marketing forms the basis of their marketing efforts, hopefully attracting customers in a helpful, useful, benefit-driven way.
Sounds great -- but getting content marketing right is hard. It's tough to create innovative content that draws an audience, that effectively tells the story of your brand, that helps an audience connect with your products or services. Integrating your brand without coming across as a poorly concealed ad is tough. The result is an additional challenge a conversation with a reader pointed out: Finding great examples of content marketing to use to inform your approach.
The first thing that popped to mind was Ryan Reynolds. Produced by Maximum Effort, the ad agency he co-founded, Reynolds's Aviation Gin videos attracted millions of views because they were, first and foremost, entertaining.
So over the course of a weekend he outlined the first season of what was then called The Fantasy Life. We'll take it. But with one caveat: Dyrdek would own all his integration rights.
MTV couldn't say no to any business he owned appearing in the series. Dyrdek partnered with DC Shoes at the start of his pro skateboarding career in — the brand was actually called Droors Clothing back then.
He was sponsored by DC until , meaning that they heavily promoted Dyrdek and his career for two decades. Dyrdek was one of the first skateboarders that the brand actually sponsored, and they were one of his longest-running partnerships.
For those who have been following Dyrdek's career since he was a teenager, it's hard to imagine him in the skateboarding world without being associated with DC. While partnering with DC, Dyrdek began learning about shoe design and marketing, and he also got his first real taste of entrepreneurship. He helped the team at DC come up with ideas for their skate videos, which eventually helped him connect with the higher-ups at MTV.
That led to meeting the cast and crew of Jackass , and eventually getting into talks about having his own reality show. Although Dyrdek and DC had a mutually beneficial partnership for over 20 years, things changed when their parent company, Quiksilver , filed for bankruptcy in September The following year, Quiksilver rejected Dyrdek's contract and prioritized forming partnerships with a different team of pro skateboarders instead.
Even though Dyrdek was always passionate about skateboarding, over time, he started to feel like entrepreneurship was his true calling. He started his first company when he was only 18, selling skateboard parts under the brand name Orion Trucks. He thought of the idea, connected with the manufacturer, and began the exciting and challenging process of building his very first business. Dyrdek has said he didn't make much money with Orion Trucks, and the company was a short-lived endeavor.
However, he fell in love with the experience of building a business from the ground up, and he knew it wouldn't be his last attempt. It's no surprise that in recent years, he's returned to his entrepreneurial roots and now devotes most of his time and energy to helping others scale up their businesses. So if Dyrdek isn't holding down his own reality TV series, and he isn't spending his days skateboarding, then what exactly is he working on right now?
Currently, he spends most of his working hours immersed in his venture studio, the Dyrdek Machine. It serves as a legal holding company for all of Dyrdek's different ventures, and he describes it as part branding agency, part venture capital firm. The Dyrdek Machine was officially launched in , and it's basically a business incubator for new companies.
He's typically involved with more than a dozen different companies to varying degrees, while working with others that are still in development. Although he's picky about the brands he takes on, he dabbles in a wide range of industries, and says he's particularly passionate about working with other entrepreneurs who get as excited about brand building. Why did Dyrdek decide to step back from reality TV when it was those same TV shows that really propelled him to mainstream fame and success?
