According to a recent report by the Custom Content Council and Contentwise, marketers are spending $44 billion a year on content marketing. Content marketing has become the great equalizer, since both small and large brands can compete through great storytelling that communicates their brand or corporate ethos. Yet the challenge remains on how to successfully produce original content that engages, entertains and is relevant to core audiences while delivering on brand metrics. At the upcoming ANA Content Marketing Members Only Conference hosted by Charles Schwab & Co. Inc, you’ll hear from leading marketers representing a diverse array of industries discussing their strategies behind the development of custom content, the execution of production through different media channels and the measurement of key objectives.

The Value of Music to a Brand and its Future Content Marketing Programs

Music is one of the most powerful forms of content.  It is emotional, social, mobile, and cultural. It is also the number one media activity for millennials, a critical demographic in this ever evolving fanatical digital and content age.  For marketers however, the challenge to use music is the struggle in quantifying what value this medium brings to their campaigns. Sony Music has launched a study of 30,000 US consumers about attitudes and behaviors toward music, artists, and brands; bringing greater scientific rigor and tools to explain the value of music to a brand and its future content programs.
