Bill Gates wrote an essay in 1996 “Content is the king”, he emphasized internet companies can deliver content more efficiently than any other channel. He said “One of the exciting things about the Internet is that anyone with a PC and a modem can publish whatever content they can create. In a sense, the Internet is the multimedia equivalent of the photocopier. It allows material to be duplicated at a low cost, no matter the size of the audience.”

Organizations must find a way to connect with their audience and convert them into valuable customers, the way to do it is simple – Connect with the audience with the right content delivered seamlessly at the right time.
