What is Content marketing?
Creating useful articles, videos, guides and other material to attract and keep an audience, rather than advertising directly.
In plain words
Content marketing earns attention by being useful. It works over months and needs subject knowledge, a plan and distribution, not only writing.
Questions to ask a company that offers this
- Who writes the content, and what do they know about my field?
- How will you measure what the content achieves?
A good company will answer these plainly and in writing. Vague or evasive answers are worth noting.
