THE SITUATION
- Businesses are allocating 32% of their total marketing budget, on average, to content marketing in 2016 (versus 25% last year), yet only 38% of these businesses say they are effective at it.
- As social media becomes a pay-to-play arena and more costly content (e.g. video) starts taking center stage, social media and content marketing will inevitably become exponentially less viable options for most businesses.
- A lot of people are talking about the need for businesses to act and operate like actual media companies – but no one is showing them how to do it.
