NEW YORK, July 16, 2015 /PR Newswire/ -- Content marketing is evolving at a rapid pace. In order to thrive in today's saturated digital marketplace, brands must adapt to data-driven, buyer-centric marketing strategies that provide customers with exceptional experiences.

PR Newswire is committed to demonstrating cutting-edge marketing techniques with an analytical, multichannel approach to content marketing, and is pleased to announce that we have been recognized as a finalist for a 2015 Content Marketing Award, presented by the Content Marketing Institute.

Nominated for Best Content Marketing ROI/Measurement Program, PR Newswire's marketing strategy is focused on continuous buyer activation, sharing best-practice content with buyers across the lifecycle in a contextual, consistent way based on analytics.

"We have completely transformed our go-to-market approach based on the new demands of buyers," states Ken Wincko, Senior Vice President of Marketing, PR Newswire. "We have shifted to a buyer-centric content marketing strategy that provides marketers and communicators with the insights they need to enhance their results. All of this is built on a foundation of data and technology that enables us to optimize buyer experiences across channels.  The result is the ability to assess the incremental business impact of our content, such as pipeline contribution, revenue and retention.

"The Content Marketing Institute is an industry thought leader in content marketing best practices," Wincko continues, "and we are very grateful and proud to be nominated for this award."

The Content Marketing Awards are presented and owned by the Content Marketing Institute. Launched in 2004 as the Magnum Opus Awards, the annual Content Marketing Awards is the largest international content marketing awards program and recognizes content marketing projects, agencies and marketers.
