Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach that involves creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent online content to a clearly defined audience. It is used by businesses of all sizes to create brand awareness, attract and retain loyal customer bases, and ultimately drive profitable customer promotions. What sets this form of marketing and PR apart from traditional techniques is the focus on relevance, i.e. aligning the content with the needs and interests of a specific target group. Keywords: group personalization, industry personalization, focus personalization and others. As more and more brands and marketers have already realized the power of content and started implementing PR and content marketing strategies in their advertising efforts, it has become an integral part of digital marketing in recent years.
