“Content is what you put out there to attract your followers, to attract your supporters. …  It's everything that you're kind of putting out there to attract your key audience and get them to engage with you and social media, those are the platforms that you're using, but also the two way conversations that you're having.”
— Julia Campbell, author Storytelling in the Digital Age: A Guide for Nonprofits
