Imagine if you wanted to explore a new hobby like camping and you were unsure how to get started. Your first step might have been to search the phrase “how to start camping,” and you opened articles from two reputable outdoors companies. The first company centered 90% of their content around promoting their products, offering little information of value to you. The second company did not even mention their own products as they provided a comprehensive article on what you would need to camp, different types of camping, where and when you should go camping, and more. Both websites prompted you to sign up for a newsletter. Which newsletter would you (and, likely, most people) sign up for? In this Discussion, you will consider how content marketing can play a role in a consumer’s interaction with an organization.
