Too often marketers are flying by the seat of their pants when it comes to developing a content strategy. Unfortunately, the term content marketing has become an industry buzzword that everyone is talking about but few marketers truly understand.
Content College is a free series of lessons aimed at helping marketers successfully plan and implement a content strategy for their business. Created by the team at Uberflip, the course pulls from the top authorities on content marketing, including the Content Marketing Institute, Marketing Profs, and more, distilling the information into a free video educational resource.
Currently, 91% of B2B and 86% of B2C companies are already engaged in some form of content marketing; however, according to the Content Marketing Institute, only 34% of B2B businesses feel their efforts are effective. In addition to this, the CMO Council reports that 68% of CMOs increased their budget for content marketing in 2013, leaving marketers scrambling to get up to speed in an area that already isn’t well understood within the broader marketing industry.
Yoav Schwartz Founder and CEO of Uberflip states
Companies are rushing to create content without having a solid strategy in place, and this isn’t the best way to maximize the potential value content marketing can have for your business … In response to this, we developed Content College- an educational video resource that provides a comprehensive overview of the ‘who, what, where, when, and why’ of content marketing.

Uberflip’s Content College begins by explaining what content marketing is and why it’s important and then walks the viewer through the process of creating and executing a content strategy that can deliver an ROI for their business.
