‍What, you might ask, is the mountain of “meh?”

As per Doug Kessler, it’s a pile of content—the vast majority of content—that turns out just like everything else.

And that approach will never let you break through the clutter.

But don’t get discouraged: blogs work, and that’s why 70% of consumers prefer getting to know a company via articles rather than ads.

It’s just a matter of finding ways to create unique content that’s custom-tailored to your audience and makes their lives easier and better.
