You’ve just heard someone mention “content marketing” and you get the idea you should already know what it is, but you’re too embarrassed to ask anyone. Congratulations, this post is for you.

aMarketForce, an online resource for information on all things content marketing related, defines content marketing thusly:

It’s what changes this definition from one that could describe almost any form of advertising or marketing.

You can tell if a piece of content is the sort that could be part of a content marketing campaign if people seek it out, if people want to consume it, rather than avoiding it.

So was VW’s 2014 “Game Day” commercial, which has been viewed on YouTube almost 18 million times, an ad, or content marketing?

The answer is it’s both, depending on how it’s received by each individual who is exposed to it.

The same will apply to any piece of content marketing you create, depending on whether the recipient received value from it or not.

Of course the goal is to provide as much value from your content marketing to as much of your target audience as possible.

At this point, despite this definition and explanation, you’re probably still wondering what exactly content marketing is.

contentmarketing relevant

Companies send us information all the time – it’s just that most of the time it’s not very relevant or valuable (can you say spam?).

That’s what makes content marketing so intriguing in today’s environment of thousands of marketing messages per person per day.

Good content marketing makes a person stop…read… think… behave… differently.
