Content Marketing is not just for marketing firms or tech companies. More "traditional" companies can take advantage of great content that engages, entertains or informs potential customers and drives some percentage into the company's sales funnel.
To coincide with my hosting of Content Chat, I'm providing a few examples of content marketing in traditional industries. Please add other examples in the comments!
