Supplementary notes

Data for years previous to 2017 were published in earlier editions of the report.

The source indicates that the definition of content marketing changed for the most recent surveys. In 2013, content marketing was defined as, "creation and distribution of educational and/or compelling content in multiple media formats to attract and/or retain customers.” From 2014 onwards, content marketing was defined as, "a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience—and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.”
