Content is the absolute foundation of any strategy. We beg, cry, and plead for our Clients to seriously start working on their content strategy ... yesterday. We have a million reasons why, which we discuss here and here. but not the least of which is that Google's algorithm continues to reward "older" content. Even in B2B, the first thing people do when researching solutions is "Google it." If you aren't open to a content marketing strategy, we may not be the team for you.

Marketing metrics are critical to understanding what is working and what isn't. We believe data helps find the truth. Every single marketing retainer comes with monthly marketing metrics so you know exactly what is going on.
