It takes a lot of time and resources to produce interesting content, and it takes even more to make sure that content is targeted enough to move buyers through the sales funnel. According to IDC, the average sales cycle for a B2B technology purchase can take up to five months and involve up to seven buyer personas, each one with their own content needs. Suddenly you start realizing the need for an expanding library of lead-nurturing content ready to go.

One of the best ways to keep up is by incorporating custom content and curation into your strategy (psssst - our Marketing Streams feature was designed for this).
