Douglas Karr from The MarTech Blog noted the increasing need to create compelling content saying that “search algorithms require it, social networks thrive on it and businesses profit from it.” But as the data from Hightail’s survey shows, “as demand rises, creatives are being crushed.” This is — as the article headline suggests — why creative collaboration tools are a necessity for your team to prosper.Conquering the content mountain
