A 2013 Content Marketing Institute study found that B2B marketers spend 33% of their marketing budgets on content with 54% planning on increasing that spending next year. Forty-four percent of respondents outsource at least a portion of this work.
As a result, content marketing offers a large growth opportunity for agencies to differentiate themselves and grow theirs and their clients’ businesses. However, agencies that provide strong, multimedia content services are rare.
