Why and how of content marketing agencies

Content marketing and digital marketing are the latest buzzwords that have caught the fancy of every entrepreneur and rightly so. With half the earth using the internet according to the latest statistics, companies, big or small, cannot afford to look away from the digital medium to lure prospective clients. What’s more, traditional methods of advertising are increasingly showing no value addition for customers, according to this report published on emarketer.

Digital content marketing is about creating valuable content for users through various mediums such as websites, webinars, email, social media or a plain google search. However, surviving through the technicalities of page rankings, brand stories and writing alluring content is not easy. An agency best understands the dynamic web world and every-changing consumer patterns on the internet.

The dilemma of finding an agency that provides good content marketing services is real. To begin with, defining your goal is a good start. Be it rebranding your business, redoing your website, engaging with consumers on social media, or ranking higher on Google, there IS an agency meant for you and your requirements. Scanning a prospective agency’s website for their clients, prior work and work ethic and culture will also do a great deal to clear out the fog.

A few content marketing companies stand out in the crowded bylanes of google search results. We have tried to curate a list of these agencies based on awards won, popularity, experience, and their prolific clientele. Please note this list is no particular order.
