What are the C's and P's of content marketing?

The C's and P's of content marketing vary depending on which source you read, and none are officially standardized the way some other marketing frameworks are. Common C versions include content, context, and consistency, sometimes expanded to four or five C's adding customer and channel.

Common P versions echo the classic marketing mix, adapted for content: purpose, people, platform, promotion, and performance in a typical five P framework. Different consultants and agencies have published competing versions over the years, each emphasizing slightly different priorities.

Rather than memorizing one specific list, use these frameworks as a reminder to think through audience, consistency, and measurement, the ideas nearly every version circles back to regardless of the exact letters used.
