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. I say this not to ridicule, but to highlight the confusion in the marketplace about content marketing. There's not a broadly agreed-upon definition of the field....

Don't you love my great title? 

 

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. 

 

Publishing content randomly won't help your brand or company at all. It's publishing content that adds value to your audience and brings it close to your brand or a buying decision.

 

So not all content is created equal.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

The description of "aggregated content" sounds a lot like content curation... To me, aggregating is much more like scraping. However, there are good points in here.
