Wrapping up 2014, we began to realise something: what if content marketing begins to get stale in 2015, because no one is innovating – what if we all just end up following “best practice”? Steve articulated this best in our end of the year video on copy and content.
Research published in 2014 by the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs has found that 86% of B2B marketers now use content marketing, with CMI now considering content marketing a “formal business discipline”.
The same research found little change between the content tactics being used by businesses in comparison to the previous year. The signs are there that B2B brands could become set in their ways after adapting to a way of marketing that is renowned for having challenged many traditional marketing assumptions.
