Lead generation has risen rapidly in demand as brands and publishers begin to recognize the importance of strengthening their connection with audiences. In the past, publishers and brands leaned on their social channels, but failed to connect with audiences. To give a direct connection with their users, brands have started email marketing campaigns while publishers send out newsletters and/or email editions of their content. We at Apester found that content engagement elevates lead generation, and have proved it by partnering with a few international brands. Our average is 6X the industry standard increase in lead generation. Take for instance this feedback & lead generation interactive unit located in a financial blog post:
