The Meta Branded Content Project 2022 Content Marketing Study used information from 2,811 respondents in Borrell's Local Advertiser Survey and interviewed 194 advertisers specifically on content marketing through Borrell's SMB Panel to gauge their interest and thoughts. The study found that content marketing among local advertisers has gained ground since the pandemic. In 2020, a significant number of local businesses put priority on getting their story out -- which often included how they were handling the crisis of the pandemic -- through content marketing. Now, as businesses begin to return to pre-pandemic "normalcy," content marketing has become a more consistent way of communicating with their client base and drawing in new customers.
