Survey shows the increasing significance of content marketing

08.05.2013
More than 90% of the marketing experts canvassed in a survey believe that content marketing will become increasingly important in future. 64% are planning to make available the budget required as an additional extra, rather than taking funds from other channels. Those questioned tend to ask external service providers, preferably digital agencies, to develop and assume responsibility for content marketing strategies. These were just some of the interesting results that Facit Research received back from the 60 people taking part in the survey.

  • Summary of the 2013 roadshow Summary of the 2013 roadshow11.03.2013 In 2013, the GfK and Serviceplan Group roadshow will be taking place for the 21st time – and this year once again under the patronage of the Markenverband, the German Brands Association. "Warning! Brand burnout" – manufacturers' brands are rapidly losing their market share Manufacturers' brands are losing their market share. The winners on the market are the private brands, particularly added value private labels, whose market share increased by 43 percent between 2007 and 2012. For the 21st brand roadshow, 1,300 manufacturers' brands were analysed by GfK and the Serviceplan Group under the slogan "Warning! Brand burnout" over a period of six years, with two questions in mind: why are manufacturers' brands on the decline and what concepts could put them back on the path to growth? The marketing experts do not consider the situation and future prospects of manufacturers' brands to be nearly as dramatic as they appear in practice. The results and recommendations of the new study demonstrate how burnout brands can become growth brands again. press releasae 11th March 2013
