What is Content Marketing?
The Content Marketing Institute defines content marketing as:
“a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.”
The “valuable” is what sets the definition apart from one that could depict practically any type of advertising, publicity or marketing. Content marketing assists organizations with creating brand loyalty. It gives significant information to buyers about the content that is being provided and builds in them, an eagerness to engage with the business and make purchases from them. This moderately new type of marketing does not include direct sales. All things considered, it constructs trust and affinity with the audience, helping an organization gain credibility.

Purpose
Different types of content fit a different purpose and have a different target audience. Businesses must determine what their purpose and goals are before they create content so that what they have produced hits all the right notes with their consumer base and satisfies the customers well enough to help the brand generate profits.

Every piece of digital content created must be of importance and use to the target audience. The audience needs to be able to correlate content to their situations for engaging with it. Without that correlation, there is no reason why someone would want to consume content.

Users are much more likely to bond with content that is creative and exciting compared to a long blog of just words.
Social Media Marketing

Viral marketing is a tactic used to make content go viral on social media. Using the correct hashtags, engagement with the audience, engagement with bigger brands and consistency are great ways to market something on social media.

Know your Customer or KYC
