How Content Marketing Targets an Audience

Tailoring content to provide value is what content marketing is all about. PR companies like Red Banyan that specialize in media relations create interesting, useful original content that attracts customers, stirs press interest or simply turns heads. The result engages a brand’s target audience and keeps them coming back for more.

Today, success in public relations requires an altered, strategic approach to capturing the public’s attention and holding it in order to leverage owned, shared and earned media. The power of original content is the driving force behind content marketing.

Bloggers are everywhere. Social media influencers with huge followings wield enormous power, and mobile devices have changed the playing field completely. Traditional publications like newspapers and magazines are no longer the gatekeepers of news, or even the primary authority source for consumers.

Individual brands, publishers and even consumers are pushing out their own original content because technology has provided companies and everyday people with the tools to get their own news out themselves. It has drastically changed the way people discover, process and share information. Strategic communications have become essential in the changing communications landscape.

Many influencers are able to engage even greater audiences than many long-established newspapers. Being able to identify and foster relationships with these niche influencers can be easier than breaking into traditional media sources and is extremely effective in building relationships with your target audiences.
