Content Marketing & Lead Generation: The Perfect Pair

His findings showed that these companies are more likely to:
- Have a documented content marketing strategy
- Have someone with specific responsibility for overseeing and managing the content marketing program
- Devote sufficient financial resources to their content marketing program”
