content marketing
is here to stay!
14. Game of ThronesâI see content as ïŹre, and social media as gasoline.
Companies (and people) would be better off if they
used social to draw attention to useful things that
they have created, instead of simply using social to
draw attention to themselves.â

15. Game of ThronesâGreat content will encourage loyalty â not
from any individual piece, but rather from the
sum of the total content experience â
consistency, quality, originality â provided
by the brand.â

16. Game of ThronesâBrands still tend to create company-centric
content:We still default to talking about
ourselves...Your customers, meanwhile, donât want
to talk about you.They want to talk about
themselves. So the key is to create content that
isnât based on what you do; rather, what you do
for others.â

content is developed.â

21. Game of ThronesâYou canât just randomly crank out content, especially
if youâre a bigger company because there are a lot

emotional way was a matter of life and death.â
