Content strategy in the age of the algorithm: what brands must understand
Every piece of content a brand publishes on a social media platform is evaluated, ranked, and distributed according to algorithmic criteria that are simultaneously powerful, opaque, and constantly evolving.

None of those challenges are insurmountable, and the brands that have addressed them are reaping substantial rewards.
