To help marketers we created a framework to isolate which themes or topics represent White Space areas where there is demonstrable organic demand and room to build genuine category authority around these topics. This framework helps marketers:
1.
Show which themes within the ESG conversation are over-indexed - i.e. there is more content on these topics than there is organic demand.
2.
Show which themes within the ESG conversation are under-indexed - i.e. there is less content on these topics than there is organic demand.
3.
Allow marketers to match these themes against their own priorities and core ESG capabilities in order to ensure their content campaigns have maximum impact.
