Show your customers your expertise...
Content marketing focuses on producing and distributing frequent, meaningful, and engaging content. Content comes in many forms including your website copy, blog posts, email marketing, video, social media, mobile apps, podcasts, anything that engages a clearly defined audience. Your content marketing strategy needs to adapt to stay relevant and effective, particularly with attention spans dropping. Research in 2015 showed that the average person’s attention span was a mere 8.25 seconds – less than the 9 seconds that a goldfish can manage. A content marketing strategy defines how to make the most out of every piece of content you deliver. Black Label can help you define that.
