What is Your Content Strategy?

As you implement marketing, PR and social media programs to build brand awareness, we believe every company should take a holistic view of their content strategy.  What is meant by this?  Basically, all pieces of content created by your company – press releases, case studies, blog posts, video, e-books, newsletters, white papers, email signature files, etc. – must be integrated and aim to reinforce your value proposition.  Beyond text, content should incorporate audio, video, and photos – as these can help clearly convey the problem your product or service addresses.
