Content marketing emerged from the depths of the Great Recession to become a key media strategy and tactic for brands to target, engage and activate their increasingly elusive, fickle and overwhelmed target consumers. With marketing messages getting lost because key demographics are often media multitasking and consuming content on wireless devices with ad-blocking software, brands are shifting budgets to media channels capable of breakthrough engagement.

These trends fueled a decade of double-digit growth from 2010-2019. But the rapid spread of COVID-19 in 2020 called for a complete re-examination of the unique content marketing sector, which for many years was driven by campaign materials developed in-house versus contracting with third-party vendors. In more recent years, however, brands are increasingly seeking innovative outside content marketers when in-house projects fail to meet expectations.

In fact, since our last edition was published in 2017, PQ Media has tracked a five-fold increase in the number of content marketers operating globally – in just three years! As a result, we further expanded our research coverage to include the following NEW features this year: 

• NEW Comprehensive Directory of 7,000 Content Marketers operating worldwide by country, the most expansive list of global content marketing operators ever published!
