Chris Brogan's Take on Content Marketing

By Chris Baggott CEO & President

Search Is Vital

I came accross a post by Chris Brogan that is about a year old.  Still relevant LOL.  He's reviewing a book called: Branding only works on Cattle and makes this point:

“Search is a larger, behavioral reality that impacts corporate strategy.”

Baskin rightly points out that marketing strategies that don’t include a heavy element of search won’t work well for us. One of the reasons that I advocate content marketing, such as writing a compelling group blog, is that it’s an opportunity to build search equity. Writing about things that people might search for is a great way to find some new people at your door who might want a look at your product.

Exactly.  Although the world has evolved beyond the Group Blog to more widespread employee blogging, Blog Marketing is moving mainstream as a corporate marketing strategy for the simple reason that you can drive very high ROI by winning search and solving problems for your customers.
