“Marketing is a value exchange; content marketing allows brands to share their amazing stories and actually add inspirational, entertaining, or educational value to people’s lives,” said Shafqat Islam, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, NewsCred. “But, marketers today are operating in an increasingly complex marketing ecosystem, and are tasked with managing content across global teams, geographies, brands and more than 40 marketing channels. In order for brands to succeed and provide a better user experience that gives consumers the content they crave and on the channel they prefer, brands need to centralize their content creation and channel distribution. At NewsCred, we’re devoted to helping brands by making marketing better.”
