Mapping Content To The Buyer Journey
The document discusses how to map marketing content to the buyer's journey. It argues that the buyer journey does not start with searching for a product, but with having questions that content can answer. It recommends focusing content creation on answering questions prospects have at different stages, from early awareness to purchase. The document also discusses optimizing content distribution across owned, earned, and paid channels and measuring the ROI of the content marketing program over time.
