Content marketing is a strategy that consists of offering interesting and useful content to bring us closer to our customers. These are long or short texts, videos, images, podcasts, infographics ... according to the characteristics of the audience and also of the company itself. It is a 2.0 approach that avoids asking customers and potential customers to buy certain products or services and is committed to sharing content with them that will help them solve their problems and make it easier for them to work or a specific aspect of their lives.
