By offering and implementing Curata, channel partners will be able to offer expanded content marketing expertise and related services to their clients.

The program also provides opportunities for agencies to strengthen client relationships and bundle SEO, lead generation and public relations into a more comprehensive package of services. “Content curation is a natural fit for agencies because they understand their clients and their industries the best.” said Pawan Deshpande, chief executive officer of HiveFire. “Having worked closely with marketing and public relations professionals to address content marketing challenges, we recognized that agencies are well-poised to capture this opportunity with content curation while strengthening client relationships.”
Agencies and consultants who join the Curata channel partner program have access to several tools that will help further both their understanding and their clients’ understanding of effective content curation through Curata.

These tools will allow marketing and public relations professionals and their clients to most effectively sort through deluge of online content available and curate only the most timely and relevant content to support their campaigns. Additionally, channel partners will receive a 20% revenue share for every Curata portal they sign to a customer.
