According to Gerry McGovern, author of Content Critical, the secret can be summarised in one word:
Publishing.
The reason we publish is to communicate.
The reason the Internet was invented was to improve the way we publish.
The secret to success in publishing is getting the right content to the right people at the right time and making a profit out of it!
The Internet is now the most powerful publishing tool available.
According to a recent A.T. Kearney study:
“digital content is becoming key to a company’s ability to develop and expand commerce, foster collaboration within and between organisations, personalise sales and customer service, and disseminate information both internally and externally.”
