Content marketing — why do you need it?

 

Content marketing is a great way to communicate with your clients, customers or membership and to offer them interesting ideas and information. People are more interested in reading articles than looking at ads, particularly if that article or blog offers something of interest or solves a problem they might be experiencing.

The goal of professional content creation, whether that is article writing, blog writing or copywriting, is to grab a potential customer’s attention and retain it.

Some examples of our article writing services

 

As professional journalists, article writing is the core skillset for Cathy and Andrea. They know how to find a great angle for an article that will resonate with an intended audience, keep their attention, and have them coming back for more. 

Ginger Brown has contributed many articles for businesses and organisations which needed professional content creators to deliver interesting content without an overt sales pitch. These included small businesses but also news websites that have branched out into what’s known as sponsored content, where a client pays for an article to be written by a journalist on an agreed topic that showcases their services. 

Here are some examples of clients which have employed Ginger Brown for the article writing expertise.
