Branding in the Age of Content Marketing
Buyers choose brands that they trust and respect. Trust is second only to price as a purchase driver. A brand’s impact on society is why trust has become more important. As younger decision-makers take control, this trend will become more pronounced. Spending time to clarify your messaging at the most elemental level and crafting a strategy to bring your unique purpose and point-of-difference to light across your internal and external communications is imperative for brands that want to lead.
