List of Marketing Strategies Examples which you must know
1. Content Marketing.
May be you hear very often about “Content is King”. This is very basic theory. And this theory is still useful until now.
From beginning of 2014, content marketing in social media platforms is helpful because many practitioners said that social media is very important for their marketing efforts.
Creating high quality content is a must. Beside social media platforms, you must vary your content delivery for examples articles in your corporate website, articles in your blog, e-newsletter, and so forth.
In addition to article (text based), you are required to produce another content such as image, sound, and video.
I tell you simply summary about content marketing:

Because of spreading of social media utilization and increasing of interaction behavior in social media platform since 2014, so you must employ the image-based content too.
Based on my experiences, image-based content will receive more interaction than text-based post.
You can investigate with your private account that enormous images have been uploaded to Google+, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. After that you will see that more interaction (like, comment, share) happen with image-based post than text-based post. Things to remember, sometimes text-based post get more interaction than image-based post in certain condition. Consequently, you have to vary your content.

The second strategy is implement a feature in Twitter, DM (direct message). This feature permit user to opt in to receive DM from others. Therefore you can make an engagement with users without needing to follow them. Equally, they can privately message you such as certain customer service problem to you without needing to follow you.
4. Pinterest marketing.
This platform is the fast-growing social media marketing channel. Based on my experiences using Pinterest, high quality image-sharing post gain more interaction like pins or repins.
The thing you must concern is do more interaction with other like following other, comment, repins, etc. You will get the same good response from others. So they are happy to repins your image-based content and sharing your content. Finally, you will have more engagement with them.
5. Sound-based content.

You can try to make good interaction there. Now, SoundCloud can integrated with Google plus and Instagram for cover images.
