Meet the Speakers: The Future of Content Marketing Event
A great content marketing strategy involves creating content for your brand that can stand up by itself, without selling or revolving round a particular product – the content can even become a product in itself. But with more and more competition, many more media options (video, live video, VR etc), and the growing epidemic of information overload online, standing out has never been more difficult.
Yet, content marketing is still a rapidly growing industry, and companies are increasingly investing in it over other marketing strategies. One reason for this is that content marketing has lower upfront costs, and deeper long-term benefits than paid search. Research by DemandMetric found that content marketing costs 62% less than traditional marketing, but generates approximately three times the number of leads. Instead of pushing a product down people’s throats, content marketing allows brands to reach consumers through original data and useful surveys, so that they can interact with the brand in a different, and more positive, way.
Content Marketing is an industry that constantly demands newness in its techniques and targeting. There will always be new hurdles to face, new media to grapple with, and new metrics to be measured against – whether its social shares, video views or news coverage.
Kaizen is a leading content marketing agency, creating unique and data-driven content for high-profile clients including TotallyMoney, River Island and TUI.
