It seems like companies have an insatiable desire for information. In the era of big data there’s never enough, and organizations are constantly on the lookout not only for new types of information, but new sources from which to glean it. Of course, big data isn’t a crystal ball (though it’s sometimes hyped up to be), but it’s a great means of learning a number of different things, including personal preferences. The more we interact with different brands, and voice our opinions on social channels, the more we reveal who we are, our habits and overall behavior. That’s why marketers are so keen to adopt big data strategies. The more they know about us, they more they’ll know how to reach us.

Content marketing is everywhere. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a marketer who isn’t seeing the impact of content marketing on their discipline.

Content Marketing is Growing. Fast.

Whether they’re B2B businesses, B2C businesses or even government agencies and nonprofits, enterprise sized organizations are going digital, and finding their online publishing needs looking increasingly like the needs of digital publishers.
