-- Frost & Sullivan's Growth Team Membership shares Coca-Cola's approach to developing a winning content strategy

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from Frost & Sullivan demonstrates how a company can use innovative content marketing to drive brand conversations and boost brand value. Frost & Sullivan's Growth Team Membership (GTM) recently published a new best practice guidebook entitled Creating Brand Value through Content Excellence, featuring The Coca-Cola Company. It highlights how Coca-Cola made content marketing an integral part of its strategy to double its revenue by 2020.

"Content marketing is the future of marketing," said Keith O'Brien, vice president of global research for Frost & Sullivan's GTM. "In a world of message proliferation and noise, content marketing helps a company tell its story and makes it more relatable and interesting. Coca-Cola's journey shows us the link between great content and consumer conversations, purchase decisions, and brand value."

To share insights from the Creating Brand Value through Content Excellence best practice guidebook, Frost & Sullivan's GTM invites you to join their upcoming complimentary Ask the Thought Leader webcast:

This complimentary, one-hour Ask the Thought Leader webcast will be co-hosted by The Coca-Cola Company and Frost & Sullivan's GTM. During the webcast, Darryl Maslia, global director of creative asset management at Coca-Cola, will provide key lessons learned from his first-hand experience in building Coca-Cola's content strategy, followed by a live audience question and answer session.
