Marketing is most effective when you can relate to a customer’s viewpoint. Being empathetic in this way can offer the human aspect that people desire in a brand. Certain companies have excelled at this kind of marketing, LinkedIn does so with relevant eBooks, while Home Depot opts for interesting infographics. The craft store chain Michael’s opts for a blog to promote their product and interact with consumers.
Key Takeaways:
- Successful content marketing is about creating a connection between your audience and your brand.
- When you put yourself in your audience’s shoes, it becomes easier to acknowledge their struggles and think critically about the best solutions.
- You see mounds of fresh lemons, tea infusions, and salt swirled together to become the product you know and love. It’s equal parts interesting and educational.
