## Key points

- Allocate roughly 15% of content resources to experimentation with emerging platforms while anchoring the rest in proven strategies.

With businesses facing tighter budgets and increasing pressure to achieve measurable results, marketers must refine their strategies to ensure content resonates with the right audiences. According to the [Content Marketing Institute's 2024 report](https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/articles/b2b-content-marketing-trends-research/), 87% of marketers say content marketing generates demand or leads, but only 52% believe it helps build loyalty with existing customers.
