This intensive guide created by Vocus was inspired by Mark Schaefer’s infamous Content Shock theory of a few months back. He essentially states that soon, there will be too much content for anyone to stand out and that marketers need to start taking actions to combat this unfavorable outcome sooner than later.
I’d recommend that content marketers read this entire guide and note some of the tips inside, but here are a few of the key takeaways worth noting.
