While many organizations are still in the early stages of brand publishing, many others have scaled their programs and are monetizing their investment in content. The steps between these extremes present a maturity model for brand publishing. Several models exist for content marketing maturity models that essentially define four phases: chaos, tactical, strategic and monetization. Most, however, offer little insight into the core competencies required at each phase.

ComBlu recently researched content maturity models and extrapolated information from multiple sources and augmented these findings with our own institutional knowledge. Following is an infographic that summarizes this research and presents a roadmap for growing content competencies inside organizations.
