“Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.” Content marketing is the process of creating informative and engaging content for customers and prospects. It can be anything from a quick blog about what’s going on in the industry to a case study about how your business has proven success for a client.
Content marketing helps position your brand as a credible source in your industry. You can achieve thought leadership within your industry by sharing helpful content and interesting information, and this will also promote engagement around your brand.
