Reading your expose about why brands need to become publishers is music to my ears for the fact that when I joined VAC AERO content publishing was the underpinning of my online marketing strategy. Five years later I am reaping the benefits a hundred fold. The funny thing is that common sense dictated how important it is that by dispensing free and valuable knowledge-based content they will come...and in hordes. Nothing genial about that, it's just human curiosity. The internet is all about knowledge and information, brands that adapt this mantra into their marketing mix will be communicating above the fray of conventional media since they will be in control of the pitch and scope of their B-to-B communications. This is another reflection on "The medium is the message" in this case the online medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived. This new paradigm is a boon to global B-to-B SMEs such as VAC AERO.
