If you want newer statistics about content marketing, check our 2018 edition: Content Marketing Trends And Statistics for 2018

After all, 75% of marketers aren’t missing this chance for a reason. Although we are overflowed by stats sometimes, I have been monitoring data related to content marketing for quite some time now. Almost all of the predictions by the most influential marketers I’ve read last year came true.

It’s possible you’ve asked yourself the question – How come so many marketers and all kinds of businesses are turning to content marketing lately? You are not the only one asking this question.
And the data provides the answer: it works!
