Content marketing was a top priority for businesses in 2011, and it is going to remain so in 2012. ThatÂ’s according to a study conducted by the Content Marketing Institute, a marketing education andresearch company. In the past year, marketers distributed more business-to-business content on YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter than ever, according to CMI. Content marketing encompasses new techniques and methods of sharing information. Spreading unique, helpful bits within the industry or with consumers creates brand awareness, new customers and client loyalty. Businesses should be sharing information from company research and client data. Data can be displayed in web infographics, articles outlining business tips, videos and slideshows.
