Content Marketing

Build a sustainable content supply chain aligned with business goals

Customer engagement depends on the right content marketing strategy

Marketing teams spend roughly 30% of their budgets on content creation to feed a wide range of engagement initiatives, from advertising and content marketing, to product marketing and sales collateral. Yet less than 40% of marketers who engage in content marketing have a defined and documented strategy. Attracting, acquiring and retaining customers takes the right content marketing strategy

I did not have the resources in-house, or the talent, for the help I needed, and I needed it in a lot of different areas ... I spent a lot of time with Gartner and the experts ... it was really a team, helping me and my leadership team succeed and go to market quickly ... all in all it was a team effort.
