Understanding Content Marketing
Content marketing is a strategic approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience. Unlike traditional advertising, content marketing provides useful information that engages the target audience, ultimately driving profitable customer action.
Objectives of Content Marketing

Content marketing revolves around three main activities:

- Content Distribution: Share content across various channels, including websites, email newsletters, and social media platforms.
