Content …MARKETING AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY… IS KING
“In 2013 content will be king, queen, and court. Content has always been important, but now
more than ever the defining difference between brands is the content that tells its story. The
rise of social media means that brands must now produce a constant stream of compelling
content that attracts attention and becomes the basis for an ongoing connection with the
consumer. Marketing automation technology, which also relies on content, will be another huge
factor in the coming year, as brands integrate these powerful consumer intelligence and
automation tools into their consumer-decision journey strategies.”
