Content Marketing focuses on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action. This category examines how to leverage various forms of content to engage B2B audiences, enhance brand presence, and drive business growth through storytelling, SEO, and multimedia strategies.
B2B marketing tips often recycle the same conventional wisdom. We’re told to personalize, create more content, and align with sales. But these are no longer differentiators; they are the cost of entry. Pursuing the same activities as everyone else, even with slightly better execution, is a path to expensive mediocrity and diminishing returns. True market…
