In a world of social media, viral marketing and user feedback on platforms as diverse as TripAdvisor and Facebook, content marketing and online reputation management are strategic imperatives.
Content marketing is the process of attracting online engagement through the production and distribution of high quality content. This can take the form of articles, blogs, videos, presentations or other information.
On the commercial side, the content marketing process can be used to:

Convert visitors into leads
Convert leads into customers
Assure customer retention by eCRM, special offers and engagement
Measuring the results
