Multimedia and how to get it out there: Our top 10 Content Marketing columns of 2017

Sophisticated marketers know that simply producing content isn't enough to reach your goals, and our columnists this year spoke to readers' interests by sharing tips on video, user-generated content and strategies for promoting them.

In 2017, there was no doubt that content was king, but it also became clear that content alone is not nearly enough to ensure success. That’s why our columnists covered strategies and tactics that allow marketers to produce the best content possible for their audiences, and also promote it in ways that ensure that it’s found by prospective and existing customers.

The research process behind winning content, such as coming up with ideas and answering customers’ questions, are always topics worth exploring, and readers were especially interested in developing content that spurs action — like the storytelling triggers Jennifer Spencer wrote about. But we aren’t in 2015 anymore, which is why articles about producing video and other multimedia content, as well as that of the user-generated variety, resonated with our readers.

As the year comes to a close, we present our top 10 columns on the subject of content marketing, in hopes you’ll use the opportunity to catch up (or refresh your memory) and start 2018 with a bang.
