But little is really known about how Irish brands are practicing content marketing. 256 Media is about to change all that. We have just launched [Ireland's first ever content marketing survey](https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Content_Marketing_MII_256_Media)in partnership with [The Marketing Institute of Ireland](http://www.mii.ie). This is an initiative in which we are proud to have been a driving force. As content natives we are keenly aware that Ireland has thus far lacked any insight into the state of content marketing in Ireland.  The survey should reveal a treasure trove of insight into the 'who, why, how and how much' of content marketing in Ireland. ## **About content marketing** Defined simply, content marketing is the strategic creation and sharing of content assets to acquire and retain customers. ## **Understanding content marketing in Ireland** International research suggests that content is commanding up to 31% of marketing budget. However, on the ground information for this discipline in Ireland is non-existent. The 256 Media and The Marketing Institute of Ireland survey will offer real insight into what is happening in this vital space and benchmark Ireland against international norms. The survey aims to get answers to questions such as: who is using content marketing? For what purpose?  How much budget is it commanding? How is it being resourced? Is it effective? What are the key challenges in creating and implementing a content marketing strategy? Is it skewed towards B2B or B2C? We have specifically compiled the survey so we can compare Irish practice with that in the USA, UK and Australia. This will help us benchmark how Irish marketing professionals are using content marketing against global leaders in the discipline. ## Win a mini-break at The Cliff House, Ardmore The survey takes only 5 – 7 minutes to complete and all answers are confidential. If you participate, you will have access to the results and you could be in with a **chance to weekend mini break in the Cliff House Hotel Ardmore.** **You can be one of those who shape content marketing in Ireland** - [take the content marketing survey](https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Content_Marketing_MII_256_Media) **256 Media and The Marketing Institute** We have also been blogging for the Marketing Institute website.
