Google “benefits of content marketing” and you’ll be served up a host of articles explaining why it should be a part of your overall marketing strategy.
But in the four years since I joined Radix, approaches to content marketing have matured and evolved. Today it’s not just enough to be producing content; you need to have three things:
- A content marketing strategy to keep you focused
- Great content that sets you apart from your competition
- Reliable ways of measuring your content’s effectiveness
This may seem difficult, if not impossible, for small businesses to reach for.
I’m here to tell you it isn’t impossible for SMEs to do effective content marketing.
In this episode of Good Copy, Bad Copy, I talk to Fiona about my approach to content marketing for our own 12-person business. I explain how I’ve made content marketing work for Radix Communications since we started our programme in 2012.
