The measure of any marketing strategy is in its effectiveness. In content marketing, we measure effectiveness by the amount of organic search traffic and rankings we deliver for our clients. And that is derived from the value our content brings to a brand’s prospects and current customers. In-house writers are too often measured on whether they completed their tasks, and if the leadership team is happy with the content.
