Marketers are officially on notice. The crowded content marketplace, rapid shifts in consumer behavior and increasingly demanding audiences pose a new and complex set of challenges for marketing leaders and their teams.
Instead of focusing on a supposed “content shock” we might also consider this a moment of “content opportunity”: high-quality content coupled with an effective distribution and amplification strategy will continue to help marketers and businesses reach, grow and nurture their audience.
So how do you build, scale, and sustain a successful content operation? How do you effectively measure the impact of your marketing initiatives to justify the investments required to be visible and relevant in 2018?
Let’s face it: Content is King. But only if audiences can find it. Ideally, they should find it relevant, too and engage with it throughout the sales funnel and customer journey.
