It amazes me just how many businesses still do not value or even understand the value of content marketing. It is already a powerful tool for creating engagement but is also increasingly important for SEO, something which I believe will become more and more the case over the coming years.
I think there is a lot of fear of content marketing; a fear of saying the wrong thing. There are a lot of hoops to jump through to get content signed off within a company and often quality content is disregarded in the process.
The percentage of companies investing resources and budget into content marketing will surely climb significantly over the next couple of years.

If 2012 was the year that Content Marketing passed the tipping point, 2013 will be the year of Content Strategy.
Everyone has experienced the power of content on a tactical level -- not it's time to maximise the budget with a proper strategy that includes goals, target personas, segmentation, content'sweet spots', and purchase stages.
Velocity produced a Content Marketing Strategy Checklist to help (feel free to come and get it) but Econsultancy (of course) has excellent best-practice research on this.
As everyone and their nephew rushes in to content marketing, the winners will be the brands that take it seriously enough to get strategic.
