Use of Game Technology to enhance product delivery
Content Marketing involves the use of a content distribution network (CDN) which is a large distributed system of servers deployed in multiple data centres across the Internet. The goal of CON is to serve content to end users with high availability and high performance

CDN serves a large portion of Internet content today including web objects (texts, graphics and scripts); downloadable objects (media files, software, documents); applications (e-commerce, portals) live streaming media and social networks
Cloud Acceleration is another form of delivery web content and applications as quickly as possible from a user to a server but tend to route contents through a public or private managed network

The Content Marketing trend suggests that marketing to the masses through techniques like television ads and radio ads are becoming less effective. Instead, it is better to concentrate on inbound marketing by producing valuable engaging content designed for a specific audience.

Perhaps an article by Forbes Magazine said it best: “There is a sense that from the hyper-connectivity of our highly digitized lives to the bright flashy, complicated sensory input we’re fed everyday, there is no way to continue at this pace. As a result, 2014 is likely to be a year where the most successful marketing strategies will be the ones that are not only simple in nature but promote goods and services that serve to simplify the consumers life or even just their customer experience
