Content MarketingWhat is it?
Content Marketing is the creation and sharing of content for the purpose of promoting a product, service or cause. Though the focus of this content may not specifically be about your organization or its offerings, often assets created for the purpose of content marketing include a mix of problem-specific information and thought leadership.
