What is brand journalism?
“Brand journalism takes many of the same tools as traditional journalism — clarity, incisiveness, and analytical rigor, just to name a few — and applies them to branded content. It’s what happens when brands decide to use their owned media outlets to educate and inspire their readers, rather than just promoting their products and services. It’s a type of content marketing that prioritizes the reader by providing helpful, relevant content, whether they buy from your company or not.”
- Matt McAllister, Founder, Candor Content
