Olivier Legrand, head of marketing solutions, for LinkedIn Asia Pacific and Japan, said: “While most brands understand that content is becoming the lifeblood of modern marketing, many are just starting out in the quest to successfully leverage content to boost engagement with audiences. As everyone is inundated with information, brands that cut through the clutter are those that provide quality and tailored content. To be taken seriously, content must provide utility and these brands are doing just that.”
