Why you should not confuse content and inbound marketing

Content-Marketing vs. Inbound-Marketing

This is where content marketing comes in: The desired target group is addressed with the help of user-relevant content and thus convinced of a product, a company or a service. Inbound marketing has a similar approach, using various tools and optimizing strategies to accompany visitors along their customer journey.
