Plan, Create, Optimize, Distribute! (Give Your Marketing a Digital Edge)

Engagement marketing is a move from one-way campaigns to a strategy that seeks to have dialogue with the customer.
Unlike traditional forms of marketing that bombard and interrupt the customer, engagement marketing leverages the specific needs of the customer. It is also about encouraging customers to interact among themselves, which can build advocacy for your brand.

In Plan, Create, Optimize, Distribute, Gabriela Taylor shows you how to put yourself where your customers are and engage them in interacting with your company. By mastering content marketing, you can:

• Connect with customers on a personal level
• Build a content relationship
• Call your audience to action
• Provide a platform for customer feedback

Social media and online communities have made it possible for marketers to find their target audience and evaluate their interests, without the need for a large budget. Looking at what people are saying, how they interact socially, and what questions they ask online provides a good starting point to understand their needs.
