The launch of Guardian Labs: how the Guardian is approaching content marketing

As anyone in the business will tell you, content marketing looks set to be a major media trend in 2014, and there are huge opportunities for those brands and media organisations who get it right. It can be one of the most powerful and effective forms of communication, which is why over 70% of marketers are increasing their spend on branded content - taking the UK's content marketing spend from £4.3bn, to a predicted £5.8bn in 2014 (Curata).
