Content curation can play a key role in your broader digital marketing approach, by enabling you to make industry connections, showcase expertise and knowledge, engage and activate your audience, etc.

Used well, curation can provide a range of significant branding benefits – but in order to make the most of content curation, you need to have a defined approach, which crosses off not only how you share third-party content, but also what content you use to spark conversation, while also factoring in attribution and considering how it fits within your broader engagement strategy.
