How Content Marketing Can Provide Real Value
Far too many companies and brands think that in order to create content marketing, all you have to do is take a sell sheet about your product and turn it into a feature story, video, listicle or infographic. Then the harsh reality sets in — an advertisement by any other name is just that… an ad that will go unread and unloved. But content marketing doesn’t have to be this way. It can provide actual value to the reader and, in turn, for your brand’s marketing efforts. The not-so-secret secret is simply to treat your content marketing the way a media outlet approaches its content – with the respect and attention your audience deserves.
