21 digital content marketing tips.

After 21 years in business, we have been around the block, watching the way brands advertise has changed significantly over the years. But one thing that has remained the same is everything we do hinges on creating good content.

Before we get into the tips, let’s cover the basics…

What is digital content marketing & why does it matter?
Attention is at an all-time premium with research showing that by 2025, over 75% of the global population will interact with a new piece of content or data every 18 seconds. With the modern web so noisy, digital content and useful storytelling that captures the interest of your target audience is most relevant.

What is considered a piece of digital content?
Content is anything and everything — videos, images, eBooks, emails and even this copy that you are reading right now. It is your favourite show on Netflix, a URL, podcasts, live-streaming and so much more but you get the picture.

What are the advantages of digital content marketing?

• Increase Brand Awareness. It is the best way to get your message across and work with and not against the variety of algorithms serving up your content to your audiences.
• It’s Good for SEO. At the heart of SEO is good quality content. Having regular updates of good copy increases visibility not only on search engines but on social networks as well.
