Are you looking for content marketing companies in Edinburgh to help you reach your target audience with a content marketing strategy?
As part of our ‘Best of Edinburgh’ series of blog posts, I want to now turn our attention to finding a company in Edinburgh that can help with a content strategy.
Unfortunately, finding dedicated content marketing firms in Edinburgh who can help you write consistent content can be a bit tricky – let me explain
Content marketing, as a service, is still fairly new, and many digital agencies are offering this service as part of an overall package (as they should be). So, finding one that is solely dedicated to content marketing in Edinburgh in search engines is tough.
If you truly want to find a dedicated content marketing agency, you’d be better off searching for “inbound marketing agency” as, in my opinion, this is where some great work in content marketing is being achieved and you will find a wide range of results.
Although it may be slim pickings for companies solely dedicated to content marketing services, you may find this list of top content marketing agencies in Edinburgh to be helpful.
1. Stargazer Digital Marketing
Stargazer focus on special marketing projects and its marketing team has over 2 decades of experience.
They have an ambitious and results-driven Marketing Team and can deliver on your campaign objectives.
Stargazer was created in 2012 by founder Kevin Gallagher after he noticed a considerable shift in consumer behaviour.
The pushy sales messages of old simply weren’t getting the same results anymore, and marketers were seeing that the marketing tactics that many used were not getting clients the results they once did.
Kevin, who’s key role is client strategies began searching for ways to connect businesses with their potential consumers more effectively, and on his journey, discovered the power of Content marketing and writing engaging content.

Takeaways
There are many aspects of digital marketing campaigns (content marketing), please remember that you don’t want to create consistent content for the sake of it. You may think you have a great list of topics, and types of content to write about but your customers may not be as interested as you think. However, content marketing is a major part of digital marketing channels you should use. But I understand that writing content from scratch can be hard. Judging by this list finding content marketers is had.
Use topics that your customers actually care about and match up to the questions they are typing into Google. This is the biggest tip I can give you when creating content.
I believe every piece of content has to justify itself in contributing to increased sales. To say that it is increasing brand awareness is rubbish, in my opinion, and won’t affect your bottom line. You need to create high-quality content. Your content marketing efforts need to move the needle for your business.
