The B2B SaaS content marketing flywheel enhances the customer journey through four stages: Adopt, Adore, Advocate, and Activate.
Each stage uses specific content to attract, retain, and encourage customers: from SEO-optimized blogs in "Adopt" to user-generated content in "Advocate."

Thanks for the concise yet insightful summary! The power law dynamics explaining why certain cultural content goes viral was an interesting point. The overview of challenges facing the creator economy also gave good perspective on that emerging space. Focusing metrics on different content goals during the SaaS flywheel stages makes sense too. Appreciate these thought-provoking highlights on digital media and marketing trends.
