Two years ago, savvy local businesses put priority on getting their story out – which often included how they were handling the pandemic. The response to these stories must have worked because the amount being spent on content marketing has risen 26% since then, to $80 billion.
“Content Marketing, or storytelling, has evolved at the local level in the past two years,” said Corey Elliott, executive vice president of local market intelligence, Borrell Associates. “It went from something a local business felt compelled to do during the pandemic to a necessary part of their marketing strategy, which they now admit not only helps them connect with their customers, but helps them stay competitive and grow their business.”
