A content marketing planning tool to help marketers generate a matrix of ideas for the most engaging content types for their audiences

Although you can sort the lists, it's not easy to identify which content is performing well and can be enhanced and which is under-performing…
We often associate the word “audit” with tax season – it’s not really a subject we enjoy thinking about. But in reality, there are so many audits that marketers can benefit from
This is especially important for your marketing strategy, to ensure you are actually delivering your marketing objectives and allocating budgets wisely.
