What is Content Marketing?

Content marketing is the practice of earning attention through useful, relevant information. Agencies help define content strategy, build editorial calendars, and create assets such as articles, guides, videos, and newsletters. A strong partner aligns content to buyer journeys, distribution channels, and business goals while maintaining brand voice. They also optimize content for search, repurpose high-performing pieces, and measure impact on traffic, leads, and revenue. Content marketing requires consistent production and a clear point of view, not just sporadic blog posts. Done well, it builds long-term visibility and supports every stage of the funnel.
