Content marketing efforts are increasingly outperforming traditional advertising in driving brand awareness, web traffic and a greater ROI. “Banner blindness” is real, but content marketing can make it inconsequential.
Whereas traditional advertising can often interrupt the user experience and be viewed as frustrating, content marketing that’s featured on news sites, blogs and social media channels performs 22X better, according to Forbes. High-quality editorial coverage is even better because of its authentic presentation, insightfulness and relevancy to its intended audience.
As advances in privacy tech continue, content marketing will become a driving force when competing for exposure in the new “cookieless” marketing world.
Posting your organization’s unique value proposition on an engaging and richly SEO-optimized platform (like RISMedia.com) with high content-quality rankings ultimately increases the likelihood of capturing valuable impressions.
More than half (54%) of decision-makers say they spend more than one hour per week reading and reviewing thought-leadership content, according to HubSpot. Think about how that could benefit your marketing efforts and why you should consider partnering with RISMedia.

Avoid Poor Quality Content
Poor quality content is self-serving, produced solely for likes, views and comments, rather than to serve a specific purpose, such as providing valuable information. Poor quality content often contains grammatical errors, a passive voice and lack of depth or an engaging purpose.
Branded editorial coverage should always aim to be informative for its target audience. Likewise, it should provide solutions to pain points, analysis and context in addition to forecasting insights.
Poor quality content can have a detrimental impact on not only your marketing campaigns, but also your branding. Top search engines use content-quality rankings as one method to determine search result positioning. Reputation damage is one of the biggest challenges to overcome as a marketer. Combined, these issues lead to a poor return on investment, whether it’s your team’s time in creating owned media or misspent advertising dollars.
