The way that both consumers buy and companies sell has changed drastically in recent years. A buyer journey that was once driven by the sales rep is now driven by the consumer. Potential buyers are self-educating before making a purchase; which is why it is imperative to have content that engages, educates, and nurtures prospects to a point where they are either ready to purchase, or at least ready to begin a conversation with your brand or company.

Today’s content marketing professional; however, is fortunate enough to have a number of valuable, highly effective tools for creating exceptional content right at their fingertips. The following are must-have tools for every content marketer.
Just last week we found out that ThingLink won a full month of advertising space in a little known Western Finnish town called Seinäjoki.

Even if we haven’t really thought about Seinäjoki as one of our hottest markets, it would be a shame to pass up this opportunity. Instead, we’re quite excited about owning the billboards of Seinäjoki for the month of September — together with our users.
