Content Marketing - Digital Necessity

The evolution of the digital world has changed marketing strategy and business models. Businesses often had linear approaches in terms of their marketing strategy, often utilising billboards, radio, magazines and television advertising to promote their products or brand images. Fast-forward to today, marketing has changed dramatically. The relationships between consumers and brands are fickler, which reflects the change in the consumers needs. The archaic marketing strategies often emphasised the 4 P’s (Product, Promotions, Place and price). However, the evolution of the digital world has altered the consumers perspectives on their own product consumption. Consumers want to be sold lifestyles and not products anymore.

This is where content marketing comes in. The emergence of content marketing derives directly from the evolution of the digital world and the increased usage of IOS and Android mobile applications. In a nutshell; content marketing enables businesses to deliver informative and valuable information to its’ potential or current app users. Content is game changer in terms of consumer engagement.
