ENGAGEMENTIf your content isn’t relevant to me, why should I pay attention?
“People don’t read ads. They read what interests them. And sometimes it’s an ad.”
- Howard Gossage
This is why Content Marketing is gobbling up more marketing budgets. High-value content (value exchange) in a native environment (context) is more relevant (or engaging).
It’s why Experience Marketing is growing so fast. Digital and real-world experiences that are easily shared are more trustworthy, creating deeper engagement.
