Content is the emotional and informational bridge between commerce and consumer.
Jay Baer, President & Social Media and Content Marketing Strategist, Convince & ConvertContent Marketing is more effective than advertising
Advertisements work. We advocate their use to our clients to create product awareness and enhance brand image. But content marketing goes further. Content is what consumers search the Internet for. By giving customers what they want, you show you care and give consumers the opportunity to develop a vested interest in your brand.
Content Marketing is the best way to turn fans into consumers, and it cost less than advertising.
There’s always a cost with advertising, whether that’s on tv, radio, newspaper or through another platform. You are usually expected to pay a third party to advertise to their audiences. When your organisation is in control of distributing native content, it will cost less.
Consumers are less impressed by ads these days
​
With the ‘hide ad’ or ‘skip’ buttons at the quick dispense of the consumer, do not be mistaken, they will be used if your adverts interrupt content consumption. Content is usually requested for. Ads are not.

Get people engaging with your content and, engaging with each other over your content and you’ll have winning content performance.

If you haven’t got content, all you’ve got is your product and no means of creating a brand.
Since time began, we’ve used content to entertain, inform, and instruct. It’s always been used to build interested communities.
Brands are more than products. They have fans who feel included in the story of that brand. They experience a connection to the brand. They’re happy through the good times, and they stick through the bad times. Content achieves this brand intention.
Content is even more important nowadays because it drives the engines of the most used tool in the world, the internet.
