Generic content gets tons of engagement. It does so because anyone, no matter their expertise can relate to it. But should generic content play a role in your content strategy? Maybe. Maybe not.
"Create content that stands out in a sea of sameness"
"Make your marketing team a media company"
"Humanize your content"
