With so many articles, white papers, studies, and so on floating around in online and offline publications, you have to wonder about the effectiveness of all this writing. At a time when it seems like everyone is publishing something, does writing about your ideas still have legs as a marketing and lead generation strategy for consultants?

And publishing articles and the like forms the basis of many firms' marketing strategies. Some benefit greatly from the exposure, generating leads and enhancing their reputations in the markets they serve.
