Consumer engagement is the key to the success of any Digital Marketing strategy. 

By creating engaging experiences, you optimize the buyer’s journey along the sales funnel and boost your conversion rate. 

Also, the practice has the potential to generate customer loyalty. But how do you overcome the competition and delight your audience? 

The answers to this question may vary, but the fact is that investing in interactive content is currently the most effective way to engage the buyer.

Now, if you’re wondering what “interactive content” actually looks like out in the wild, think quizzes, polls, or even those “choose your own adventure”-type infographics that feel a bit like a game. You see them pop up everywhere these days, not because they’re just flashy, but because people actually stop scrolling to check them out. It’s kind of like the difference between reading a brochure and trying out a demo—you’re way more likely to remember the stuff you mess around with. Real-life example: according to the Content Marketing Institute, marketers using interactive assets noticed up to double the engagement rates compared to plain old static blog posts. Numbers aside, it’s just more fun, right?

And here’s the thing—sometimes, the magic comes from simply inviting users to have a say. One brand I remember let people vote on new product flavors, and the buzz lasted weeks, way beyond the initial campaign. It’s less about big budgets and CGI explosions and more about little, honest moments where someone gets to push a button and feel like it matters. Sure, not every vote changes the world, but the sense of involvement sticks with people.

Such content should vary in the format according to many factors, including the stage of the funnel you want to impact.

Of course, the tech you pick to build these experiences makes a difference. Drag-and-drop quiz builders can get you off the ground in an afternoon, while more immersive tools—like personalized video journeys—might take a few weeks (or test everyone’s nerves). The key is, don’t wait for a perfect solution before you try something. Sometimes the quickest prototype uncovers what your audience actually wants to do, and from there, you can keep tweaking. It’s a little messy and usually a lot more interesting than big rigid launches.

And, just to be completely upfront, not every attempt at interactive content is going to be a runaway hit. There’s a bit of trial and error in figuring out what your audience actually likes engaging with. Some brands find success with personality quizzes, while others get more traction with interactive calculators or ROI tools. It’s like cooking—sometimes you follow the recipe and it’s meh, and other times, you toss in something unexpected and everyone wants seconds. You have to test things and watch how people react (and don’t be afraid to pull the plug if something flops).

In this post, we’ll talk more about this strategy, focusing on interactive case studies. Here, you’ll learn:
