Content Marketing: A marketing technique of creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and acquire a clearly defined audience- with the objective of driving a profitable customer action. Content Marketing is a strategy that some brands hit the mark with while others fall flat. Being able to create content that targets a specific audience with the right mix of quality and quantity may seem a daunting task.
