• The marketing strategies that Universities use to target potential students and their parents can provide valuable insights for startup marketers to consider. 
• Marketers widely use AI tools for brainstorming and content creation but having an AI policy in place is essential to ensure ethical use of the technology. 
• Content marketers often face challenges in creating the right content for their audiences, differentiating this content, and accessing subject matter experts (SMEs) for contribution.
• As our preferences change and evolve, popular content formats and distribution channels shift to keep up with the trends. 
• Having a structured content production process, editorial calendar, and internal activation are essential for scaling and repurposing content. 
• Investing a significant portion of the marketing budget in content marketing is crucial for driving business results.
