Short answer
Content marketing is the strategy of creating and distributing valuable, relevant content, such as articles, videos, guides and podcasts, to attract and retain a defined audience. Rather than pitching directly, it builds trust, search visibility and demand over time. Success is measured by engagement, organic traffic, leads and its eventual contribution to revenue.
