The Trouble With Content Marketing

The Trouble With Content Marketing | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Content marketing is everything. It's nothing. It's substantial like rock. It's fleeting like the wind. It's both sides of the brain in perfect harmony. It's the brand story. It's the value proposition shown, not told. In other words, it's a tactic with an identity crisis.

 

Teeehe Content Marketing Institute itself is proud to stack up no fewer than 21 explanations of this burgeoning field, plus six more definitions on another page on its site.

Ok, it's confusing but trust me, this article is not and makes a good job at explaining a simple but often misunderstood truth on content marketing: the intent is important.

So not all content is created equal.
