intrinsic benefit to
an audience
A marketing strategy where brands create
interest, relevance and relationships with
customers by producing, curating and
sharing content that addresses specific
customer needs and delivers visible value.

customer and his
or her situation
Something
immediate AND
enduring

Why Is Content Marketing The Response
1. Pulls consumers closer to the brand’s messages
2. Amplifies reach by producing content customers share
3. Influences customers and creates relationships early in
the purchase journey
4. Drives measurable business outcomes throughout the
entire customer lifecycle
