It’s one thing to ramp up content production, but is the added productivity pumping out waste? This week, digital content experience company Siteimprove acquired MarketMuse, a content strategy and intelligence company.
The aim of the acquisition is to connect content creation with content strategy capabilities, including research, planning and execution. This, in turn, cuts down on content waste.
Organizations using genAI to spark ideas and assist with copy and design can get content out quicker, sure. But the content has to be optimized for traditional search engines, as well as AI-driven search. The acquisition aims to cover these needs.
Sixty-one percent of marketers said one-quarter to three-quarters of their content goes to waste, according to a study last year from Forrester Research.
