What is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is the strategic marketing approach of creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and acquire a clearly defined audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.
In short, instead of pitching your products or services, content marketing works by capturing the attention of your target audience members and helping them address their informational and task-oriented needs. The belief is that your audience over time will come to trust and rely on your guidance, recognise your company’s unique value proposition, and ultimately reward you with business and loyalty. Emarkable Engage will ensure:
- It is relevant to your target audience
- It provides them with tangible value
- It is consistent (Consistently valuable, consistently distributed through consistent channels)
