Content marketing has been described as 'the only marketing left'. It's hard to avoid the need to create it, but it is much easier to get wrong than more traditional forms of marketing because it needs to work fully both as content (accurate, accessible, engaging, informative, original and well-produced) and as marketing (persuasive, compelling, memorable, useful, desirable and attainable).
If you're not doing both, you could simply be wasting your time.
As a contract content agency, we are well placed to understand what can go wrong with content marketing and how to put it right. All the content we create - for the government and public sector, for charities and for private businesses - ultimately has marketing as its goal. But we bring to bear the skills of content creators - writing, editing, designing, development, video and audio production - and always focus on the needs of readers, viewers, listeners and visitors.
We've put together a guide to the nine-step process we use to make sure that our clients are planning and executing their content marketing strategies properly rather than striding off for miles in the wrong direction. It's completely free to access, and if you signed up to our newsletter, we will be sending out a weekly cheat sheet with specific content marketing tips on print, digital, web, SEO, video, audio and more.
