When it comes down to it, the most precise definition of content marketing can be boiled down to just one word: Help
The official definition, according to the Content Marketing Institute is
The marketing and business process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience with the objective of driving profitable customer action.
This is a great formal definition. But, as far as Im concerned, this is a long way around just saying help.
