CHAPTER 5Content Marketing

By Greg Jarboe

It's relatively straightforward to prepare for the OMCA exam. You have 75 minutes to answer approximately 70 multiple choice questions—and roughly 10 of those questions will test your concept‐level understanding of the components and practices of content marketing.
