Deep dives

The Shift from Traditional Content Marketing

Traditional content marketing heavily relies on keyword research and blog-based strategies to drive traffic. Most companies believe that having a blog, sharing snippets on social media, and leading potential customers back to their website is the pathway to success. However, this approach is becoming less effective as many potential customers grow weary of reading blogs and prefer other platforms for information. The landscape has changed, and companies must now adapt by exploring various channels where their audience is congregating and engaging, rather than defaulting to old strategies that no longer resonate.
