Spreading the Content Marketing Virus
This document discusses the overload of advertising that people now face and how consumer behavior is shifting. It notes that buyers now do 60-80% of their research online before contacting vendors. As a result, marketing must shift from being sales-focused to being user-focused by creating helpful content. The role of marketing is to listen to buyers, build relevant content for them, and share it widely rather than relying on interruptive ads. Both marketing and other departments must work together to engage where buyers are online through relevant answers to their questions.

We want you toShare your talent and expertise visiblyDirectly contribute to better products and servicesBecome better communicatorsAnd for this we need you.Thank you.
