What is content marketing?

^If this is a question that you’re asking yourself, stick around for the next few minutes^

Some marketing terms come and go, others disappear as quickly as they’re uttered, but what about content marketing?

Is it just another flash in the pan? Is it a necessity or a fad?

And what does ‘content marketing’ mean?

Content Marketing: Necessity or Fad?

Traditional marketing is a combination of advertising, strategy and pinpointed campaigns — and whilst these are all still important elements of modern digital marketing campaigns — there’s a new way too.
