Why content strategy?
Content marketing can be one of the most effective tools for attracting and retaining an engaged audience. But many marketers get it wrong by creating content just for the sake of it. The result is short-term interest in your brand and impact that quickly fizzles out until the next piece – an exhausting and unsustainable strategy.
But the most effective content marketing strategies often include tools like audience analysis, client personas, customer journeys, integrated channels, smart workflows, and detailed analytics. Where do you even begin?
