All over the world, marketers agree – content marketing is hot! From my location in the Asia-Pacific market, I see companies increasingly exploring how they can adopt content marketing strategies into their marketing. And it makes sense.

And by the time they reach out to a sales person, as much as 80% of their purchase decisions have already been made.
