CONTENT MARKETING & CONTENT STRATEGY:
According to Lauren Pope‟s “Why Content Marketing Needs Content
Strategy” at 2013‟s Content Marketing Show…
“Content strategy is about the „how‟, the user, the
big picture, the governance, and the planning.”
“Content marketing is about the „what‟, the
business, the tactics, and the individual
campaigns.”
