A recent headline in BtoB Marketing Magazine (Feb. 2012) read, “Content marketing becoming vital.”  It relates to the growth of search and social media and the impact of blogs and websites on marketing today.  Naturally, there’s a lot more involved.  However, a major takeaway is that people in business are searching to solve problems, in addition to looking for specific products.

The same issue had another front page article, “Search still half of all digital spending.” It went on to describe how companies have improved their websites to take advantage of this trend.  In fact, it quoted one prominent manufacturing company marketing leader as saying, “I am a firm believer that, from a customer-experience perspective and as a driver of traffic, search should be a marketer’s number one concern.  And that means both organic search and paid search.  The two go hand in hand,” he continued.

The above are inextricably connected.  As a product publicist who has been specializing in getting widespread product publicity exposure in all types of media outlets for over 35 years, I can attest to the value of presenting products and technologies as “problem-solvers.”

The bonus to content marketing today, if executed properly, is that it achieves both goals above: Helps your company get found by prospective customers when they are searching for solutions and it helps your company get implied third party endorsements from media outlets.
