10. What is Content Marketing?
―Content marketing is the publication of material
designed to promote a brand, usually through a more
oblique and subtle approach than that of traditional
push advertising. The essence of good content
marketing is that it offers something the viewer wants,
such as information or entertainment. Content
marketing can take a lot of different forms, including
YouTube videos, blog posts and articles. It shouldn’t
really seem like marketing — in some cases, in fact, it
should only be identifiable as marketing because the
advertiser is identified as the content provider.‖

16. Reflection from the campaign
If you want to measure your campaign
you should drive traffic to a site that you
can measure
Importance of headline and pictures –
think 10 headlines and 4 - 6 pictures!
Brand awareness and opinion
you should use earned media
To sell services you should
drive traffic to a site you own
