“Content is king” is something that we have been hearing a lot in the last few years. While the adage remained true until last year, the content marketing landscape has changed immensely since the pandemic hit.
Content has had an immense impact on our daily lives. Most of us consume content throughout the day in some form or the other. And, not one of us would prefer consuming sub-par content.
Businesses realise it too. So they leave no stone unturned in ensuring that they create content that their target audience loves..
For any business, content marketing is the key and it works best when one has curated a well-defined strategy and plan.
Devising a relevant plan enables you to improve engagement, drive traffic, and sales. But to start, you need to define your audience, research your competitors, undertake keyword research, and plan your resources.
All of it was often considered tedious and monotonous. But AI and new-age technologies are transforming the content marketing landscape by taking over what marketers used to manually perform.
