3. Most companies have already implemented Content Marketing and have plans to increase their investment.
4. The good news for brands who haven’t kicked off Content Marketing efforts is that most other brands are still getting the hang of it so there’s still time to catch up.
5. Brands who commit to implementing Content Marketing campaigns are seeing more success as they mature.
6. Content Marketing efforts impact consumer action throughout the buying journey, especially top-of-the-funnel activity.
7. The more content a brand produces, the more impact those efforts have on business goals like generating leads.
8. The average blog post is getting longer, which means they take longer to write. But, longer blog posts yield the most success.
