It’s a cliche to say “content is king” without putting it into proper context. However, it remains true that without content to engage your potential customers, you’re drifting down the marketing creek without a paddle. Your account-based marketing (ABM) content efforts are what propel people to consider your product or service from interest through to conversion. 

The digital generation practically lives online, so it’s natural it be educated online as well, well partially at least. Obviously, online learning is seeing great success and has fascinated both educators and students enrolled in higher education with its potential to engage students in context-based content and enabling them to personalize their learning process.

As buyer behavior and preferences evolve, it’s up to businesses to keep pace with them or risk losing relevance. With buyers seeking information online before engaging a vendor, high-value content — lots of it in various forms and formats — is the key to success.

It was the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, who famously said, “Change is the only constant in life”. This holds true in marketing, too; it’s a landscape in which new technologies and innovative practices are always being implemented in an effort to reach the right audiences more effectively and efficiently. 

It was the spring of 1994. Web usage had skyrocketed by a baffling 2,300%. This inspired a 30-year-old enterprising man to quit his job, set up shop in a garage and take advantage of the opportunity. He booked the domain relentless.com, but naysayers said it sounded sinister. So, he changed the name, used the domain to sell books online at first, then diversified the product portfolio and eventually became the world’s largest online retailer. That domain still exists today and redirects to the Amazon website.
