The 4 Pillars of Content Marketing
CREATION
It starts with great content. Whether you buy it, curate it or author it yourself
INSIGHTS
If you’re planning to grow, you’ll want to know what’s working and why.
DISTRIBUTION
That experience needs an audience - whether organically discovered, or
accessed via promotion.
EXPERIENCE
Even the best content needs a remarkable experience to reach its full
potential.

PlatformVS Point Solution
Page 20 #MKTGNATION
Platform vs Point SolutionA platform is a major piece of software, as an operating system, an operating environment, or a database, under which various smaller application programs can be designed to run.
Page 21 #MKTGNATION
A point solution is a product or service that addresses one very specific need in a marketing organization. It specializes in solving that one particular problem really, really well.

“Uberflip’s onboarding process and customer success team blew me away! I was amazed at the personal dedication and partnership our launch was given. I felt like we were
Uberflip’s only client"!
Onboarding with a World-Class Team

“This was a great experience. I watched a video in your hub mentioned in a K–12 email. Within seconds a follow-up email arrived connecting
me even more with your products.
I KNOW our Development Office would love to have this tool set. Is this something we could set up at Hackley? Say a video on the Alumni
page describing our new Health Complex that will be going up in the next two years. I’d love to be able to then automatically email those
watching the video with some sort of engagement message. ”
