Check out Tom Richards's thoughts on content marketing
When it comes to creating content marketing, Tom Richards shares:
"To be interesting, as a brand, you must have a compelling point of view on a topic that your customer or prospect cares about. And then you need to articulate it in a short, sharp, and powerful way."
Tom also shares about how marketing can support sales:
"In most B2B organizations, marketing tees up opportunities for sales to drive to the hole. Of course, marketing is also helping with club selection, wind direction, obstacle avoidance, green reading, and ideally everything else to get the ball into the cup."
