There are several definitions of content marketing. The definition supplied by the Content Marketing Institute (CMI) is “Content marketing’s purpose is to attract and retain customers by consistently creating and curating relevant and valuable content with the intention of changing or enhancing customer behavior. It is an ongoing process that is best integrated into your overall marketing strategy, and it focuses on owning media, not renting it.” (https://contentmarketinginstitute.com)
There is nothing new about creating relevant and valuable content intended to change customer behavior. What is new is recognizing that it is an ongoing process. Constantly, new prospects are searching online to inform and influence their purchasing decisions (for example Google has more than 3.5 billion searches every day). You should use content marketing to attract and nurture your prospects and deploy a marketing automation platform to do it in an efficient and structured manner. This will significantly lift the value of your content marketing efforts.

Content Marketing strategy
Content marketing should always support the customer’s decision-making process and move them further down through the buying funnel. Ideally your content should be targeted at the personas that are important to the buying process and its distinct phases:
1. Awareness
2. Consideration
3. Decision
A content marketing strategy starts with mapping your current content to personas and buying phases. We recommend that as a minimum you have content aimed at the Technical Decision Maker (TDM) and the Business Decision Maker (BDM). Participate in our morning briefing about content marketing.

Customer journey:
More marketing – less sales
It is an established fact that the customer journey in B2B is digital and that the customer goes a very long way (some say up to 80%) before he or she even wants to talk to a sales person. This process is not linear – tends to be fairly unstructured and highly individual involving all digital platforms including social media. See more >
