More than 70% of B2B marketers use content marketing to generate leads. Your content marketing strategy, therefore, must ensure you stand out from the crowd and capture your customers’ attention.
Gaining this attention is achieved by tailoring your activity and content towards achieving your business objectives and meeting your customers’ needs.
The secret to success is, not only to have really good content – including blog posts, web articles, whitepapers, infographics, leaflets and newsletters – but also to carefully and creatively manage the full content cycle on an on-going basis.
Your content marketing will then build customer trust, satisfaction and engagement, leading to increased business and ROI.

This imbalance means a significant amount of opportunities are being lost.
