c4 Content Creation & Collaboration Tools
Introduction
In the advertising industry, content creation has always been the be-all and end-all, be it to increase awareness or to attract new customers. But never before has it been so easy to reach very many segments of the population on such a large scale as it is today. Social media channels are the new drivers of content distribution. Today, anyone can produce their own content and distribute it immediately. Be it via their own website or social media platforms, for example their own YouTube channel.
The word content comes from the English language and means content. The Anglicism stands predominantly for content from the media and the internet. The German Duden defines content as "qualified content, information content especially of websites".
The word "collaboration" comes from Latin and is composed of con (with) and laborare (to work). First of all, it means "to work together". In addition, however, the term also describes the process of active, usually equal, cooperation between several people on a common task without strictly defined boundaries.
"Collaboration refers to cooperative working between individuals with a common goal."
"Collaboration is the work of two or more individuals on shared material that has been deliberately planned to achieve a common group goal. To achieve this group goal, communication, coordination and cooperation between the actors involved are necessary"
