A content strategy is about delivering the right information to customers wherever they seek it through the buying process. It puts the customer at the center of everything by providing relevant answers to their questions. A content strategy is needed because traditional marketing is changing with the rise of the web, social media, and mobile access, which have increased the amount of content and messaging reaching consumers exponentially. An effective content strategy involves defining success measures, planning different types of content, optimizing content for search engines, curating content in newsletters, distributing content across social channels, and tracking/optimizing efforts.
