NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the major themes to come out of Content Marketing World 2013 is the importance of content discovery.  PR Newswire's Sarah Skerik, Vice President of Content Marketing, explored "10 Ways to Drive Content Discovery" in her session at the event – and after Jay Baer's keynote, the concept of discovery seems all the more important.

In his keynote, Baer presented a statistic that should serve as a call-to-action for marketers and communicators: by the time B2B buyers reach out to vendors, 70% of the buying decision has already been made – and competitors weighed, vetted and nixed. 

In a new post on the Beyond PR blog, Ms. Skerik discusses the constant flow of new content and how best to make your content stand out – be discoverable – when competing for finite audience attention. The buying audience is doing a majority of their research based solely on online content, so brands must ensure that they are producing engaging, discoverable content that tells their story.
