How to moderate a sales+marketing content brainstorm session?

2 years into the deep void that is content marketing and I find my editorial calendar a bit dry for Q4.

I have planned what will hopefully be a very energizing brainstorm with sales and marketing next week, but I am completely at a loss at how to moderate such a session so that it is actually productive for marketing to utilize when thinking about future content.

Has anyone conducted such a group session or similar, and have some tips or specific exercises they could recommend to make sure I get the most out of my time with these key stakeholders?

Naor, I'd suggest you ensure alignment between sales and marketing on several items before you start.  The SiriusDecisions campaign framework is a good starting point.
  • Buyer needs
  • Tactics to be used for each program family in the overarching campaign depending on where the lead is in the buyers journey.
    • Reputation (seed)
    • Demand Creation (create and nurture)
    • Sales Enablement (enable and accelerate)
  • Theme(s)
  • Target market segments
  • Regions and BUs
  • Goals / Budgets
  • The personas that will be consuming the content, so that it can be tailored to them.
As you can imagine, it's going to take more than a 1 hour meeting to do this.
