Getting Content To Cut Through The Noise
Content marketing has taken the world by storm over the last decade. Every year we see companies ramp up their content marketing efforts in order to connect with their audience. In fact, 75% of marketers plan to increase or significantly increase their content marketing budget in 2016. This growth in content leads to one common problem though: how to reach an audience through all this noise?
Bryan Kramer has one answer: influencers. As readers we gravitate towards content and writers that stand out from the rest, and give more thought to what influencers have to say because we hold their expertise in high regard. In his post, Kramer blogs the following insight:
