Social Samosa takes a look at few content marketing tools which brands and marketers can use to improve the quality of content, cater to trending topics and speak about subjects that their consumers wish to discuss. 

Call it decreasing attention span or an aware mind - consumers are extremely perceptive of what they need and want. Brands can no longer rely on ads and one sided communication to covey their message. Enter, Content Marketing.

Reports cite that 90 percent of the companies used it in 2016 and 75 percent even increased their budget in the same year.  Further, a report suggests that content marketing generates over three times as many leads as outbound marketing and costs 62 percent less.

These stats become even more important with increasing use of ad blockers - right from Facebook sponsored ads to YouTube pre-roll ads and banners - ad blockers can make everything disappear, creating a need for quality content wrapped with marketing.

To give you a better picture, according to Pagefair's 2017 adblock report, drawn from the late 2016 data, there has been a 30 percent year-over-year growth in the use of ad blockers worldwide, 11 percent of the world's internet population utilizes ad blocking and 62 percent of devices using ad blockers are mobile.
