True content marketing agencies are few and far between. Content marketing is a service offered by many types of digital marketing agencies, so you’re more likely to get it from a general agency or an SEO company than from a pure specialist in the field. If, however, you’re seeking a company with this specific expertise, there are a handful of established content marketing companies.
Our firm conducted a study of the largest content marketing agencies in the US. We looked at firms with at least $10M in revenue and/or 75 employees—both of which indicate that a company has sufficient resources to handle a complex content marketing campaign. We also considered each firm’s notable clients, web citations, and overall reputation in their field.
