Building a brand is more than just being successful on social media. It's also about building value for your company and inbound marketing can be an excellent way to do so. Inbound marketing is a great way to build trust with your community and create brand value. 

Atomising content is key.  You can re-use and promote quality content through different distribution channels - like breaking down white papers into blogs which will, in turn, be divided up and promoted as social media posts so that they're more digestible for followers on each platform.

“Companies with blogs produce an average of 67% more leads monthly than companies that don’t blog” - DemandMetric

It's an investment, but spending your time creating valuable, educational, and helpful content can earn prospects' trust.
