So, what exactly is evergreen content marketing?

So, when you want to a news section of the blog on a company website, you will notice that sometimes businesses write blogs very regularly. Some businesses here in Cardiff might add a blog post once a week, and these can vary from the business winning a award in Wales, right through to the business mentioning that the new staff member joined the company, through to writing about something that relates to that industry.
