NEW MARKETING
As marketers, we are increasingly fighting for the attention of consumers. That's easier said than done. Studies show that we are becoming increasingly insensitive to advertising messages. In addition, in 2015 there were more than 200 million Adblock users , which reduces the effect of display advertising.
About 200 million people worldwide use ad-blocking software, causing traditional display ads to lose their effect.

DEFINITION
Wikipedia defines content marketing as “ … any marketing that involves the creation and sharing of media and publishing content in order to acquire and retain customers. This means that companies publish content (on a blog or news page) that is interesting for the target group. We try to reach our target audience early in the decision-making process and increase top-of-mind awareness (TOMA) of our brand. Content marketing focuses on the broad interests of the target group. So we don't just talk about our own products or news. It goes much broader.
BENEFITS
More and more companies are discovering the importance of good content. Because a good content strategy offers all kinds of advantages:
TYPING
When creating content for a website, most people think of a simple article. Yet there are many more options. Because we distinguish three types of content marketing:
Content marketing in its simplest form; an article consisting of text with some images. Can be made very quickly, but relatively little chance of success.
In this type of content marketing, a basic article is creatively packaged. Consider, for example, an infographic, a video, a quiz, etc. Of course this requires more time, but the chance that the piece of content will attract visitors and links is much greater.
Side products are extensions of your products or services. In this type of content marketing we are going to effectively create something useful for the target group. For example, a tool that makes a certain task easier. The big advantage; a useful tool is often used, an article is usually read only once.

Definitely. By regularly publishing articles about new trends, technical challenges and more, you profile yourself as an expert in a sector. This expertise lowers the threshold for potential customers to work with your company.
For many people, content marketing is synonymous with blogs. However, it is much bigger than that. My experience shows that creative formats, such as infographics, ebooks, videos, ... provide better results. Those who want to go one step further can opt for side products . These are tools that are linked to your product or service and offer added value several times.

There are two reasons to outsource content marketing. On the one hand due to a lack of time and knowledge among your own employees. Content research, copywriting, SEO adjustments… require some experience and take a lot of time. On the other hand, it offers a new perspective on your sector and company. Take General Mills for example: they used external content marketers for their recipe site Tablespoon. It breathed new life into the brand. The unorthodox view of outsiders is often priceless.
Content marketing is not an overnight success . It is a long term strategy. It takes some time before search engines and external partners pick up the new content. Moreover - in most cases - the amount of content has a positive effect on the number of leads. So allow at least 6 months to assess the first results.
Even as a content marketer, I don't get new ideas for articles in the middle of the night (although it does happen sometimes). Instead, I investigate. I get my inspiration from keyword research, forums, customer support questions, social media, brainstorming sessions, etc. One thing is certain: even for the most boring niches there is an abundance of topics.
