Understanding Customer-Centric Content Strategy

A customer-centric content strategy focuses on the actual tasks and jobs that customers aim to accomplish rather than solely on the content created by businesses. It is essential for organizations to identify these jobs through research methodologies that explore users' needs and experiences.
