The classic portal for funnel entry has always been<br />

advertising. But even that no longer really stands.<br />

The meteoric force igniting the top of the B2B funnel<br />

these days is content marketing.<br />

That’s why every brand worth its salt has jumped into the content game by<br />

producing videos, blog posts, white papers and case studies, then peppering<br />

them across every channel.<br />

It’s not hard to see why, either; content positions brands as thought<br />

leaders while selling product, thereby cultivating loyalty and assisting<br />

buyers.<br />

Despite these manifold rewards, the rise of content marketing has presented<br />

an enormous challenge for marketers. Some focus on quantity, churning out a<br />

stream of fluff pieces; some write for SEO purposes, or even just to try to sound<br />

clever and look cool.<br />
