What Exactly is Content Marketing
• Content marketing (also known as "content
recommendation") is any marketing format that involves the
creation and sharing of media and publishing content in
order to acquire customers. This information can be
presented in a variety of formats, including news,
video, white papers, e-books, infographics, case studies,
how-to guides, question and answer articles, photos, etc.
• Content marketing is focused not on selling, but on simply
communicating with customers and prospects. The idea is
to inspire business and loyalty from buyers by delivering
"consistent, ongoing valuable information.“
