8 Impressive Content Marketing Examples You Can Use Today
Today content marketing has its own and very wide niche. This industry has seen the emergence of both trendsetting companies and firms that simply follow the general trends. In our article, we will give 8 impressive content marketing examples you can use today.
The Furrow
American agricultural equipment manufacturer John Deere started content marketing when it was not yet mainstream. The first issue of his magazine The Furrow was published back in 1895 (on paper, of course). The publication told farmers about the latest achievements of the agricultural industry and gave them useful advice, only occasionally mentioning John Deere products.
It is a tactic The Furrow follows to this day. On the magazine’s website, you can read articles from the paper version. There is, for example, a story about the life of hereditary farmers from Louisiana, an article about the work of a vertical farm in Cincinnati, and a report from Georgia about the life of local cattle farmers.
There are still very few mentions of John Deere. And this is a conscious and principled position. “We do not talk about ourselves in the editorial space of the magazine. We take believability very seriously. We know that a reputation that has taken 175 years to build up would only take a fraction of that time to tear down” says magazine editor David Jones.
Today, John Deere publishes several magazines on topics ranging from logging to shipping. The Furrow is published in several languages. There is also a podcast On Life & Land and a strictly corporate The John Deer Journal.
