"Hashtag campaigns are a great way to promote content in connection with a brand, an industry, and an audience. It allows content discovery by people who are interested in a particular subject - and when you're limited on space or can't use a lot of text to introduce your content, a hashtag acts as a shortcut to providing an overview. I've had great luck with using hashtags to attract new potential customers who were interested in the specific service I was marketing. They searched for the topic specifically covered by my content and may not have found it without the hashtag. Lastly, because hashtags let you boost content visibility for free, I believe they're a necessary part of any content marketing strategy."
