I like Russell Sparkman’s definition of the much-discussed but still fuzzy concept of content marketing. In an interview with David Murray in Vital Speeches, Sparkman says:
“Stripped down to its essence, Content Marketing is the investment of both human and financial resources in the strategic creation, curation and distribution of relevant, educational and/or fun content as the basis of building awareness, generating leads, closing sales and providing customer support.”
Then he peels back another layer: “Content Marketing requires the company or non-profit to think like marketers, and act like publishers or broadcasters in order to leverage content as the basis of engagement.”
