Boston, MA, Dec. 01, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
BOSTON, MA – December 1, 2016 – Skyword Inc. , the leading content marketing technology and services company, announced today that it has been named a 2016 Hot Vendor in Content Marketing and Customer Engagement by Aragon Research. Each year, Aragon Research selects Hot Vendors across multiple markets that are doing something truly new or different. They may have new technology that expands capabilities, a new strategy that opens up markets, or just a new way of doing business that makes them worth evaluating.
“The race to win and keep customers is getting harder. Business Leaders are under severe pressure to develop and share compelling content and improve and speed up overall engagement. The 2016 Hot Vendors in Content Marketing Platforms and Customer Engagement are addressing those needs and more,” said Jim Lundy, CEO and lead analyst at Aragon Research.
“We’re thrilled that we were named a 2016 Hot Vendor by Aragon Research and with Jim’s report highlighting the criticality of content marketing technology to building an audience and customer engagement,” said Tom Gerace, CEO and founder of Skyword. “Marketers are struggling to reach and engage consumers with ineffective interruptive advertising and marketing techniques, and they are wasting valuable resources in their attempts to do so,” said Gerace. “By embracing a sustained approach to original content creation and storytelling, marketers can stop interrupting what people love and, instead, become what they love.”
Today’s top companies, such as ADP, Anthem, AutoTrader, IBM, Overstock, and more use Skyword’s technology, freelance community, and services to build an engine for sustained creation and distribution of original content to reach, engage, convert, and support a loyal audience. And when the time is right, they turn to Skyword for the framework and know-how to storify their content.
