Content marketing is a strategic approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer[1] action. It has a rich history dating back to 1732, with examples like Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanack and Johnson & Johnson’s antiseptic wound treatment publication. The term was first used in 1996 and has since evolved with the rise of social networks and online platforms. Today, it is a vital tool used by brands like Red Bull and Mint.com to engage audiences and build brand[3] loyalty[2]. It is measured by various metrics, including visitor numbers, time spent on a page, click-through rates, and customer feedback. While it presents challenges like continuous content delivery and transitioning to a media publishing mindset, it also offers opportunities for sales[4] conversion and innovation.
