SixEstate noun [siks-ih-steyt]
- Content marketing for thought leadership.
- Intelligent, content-driven search marketing.
- Brand Journalism; Brand News.
Origin: The name SixEstate is a reference to the “Fourth Estate,” a term for the mainstream media coined in the early 19th century. The press, as it was called in that period, was considered one of the most influential forces in society, along with the clergy (First Estate), the noblemen (Second Estate) and the commoners (Third Estate). The Fifth Estate has an array of meanings, but often describes forms of alternative media, such as underground newspapers, pirate radio, and even the Internet and public-access TV.
The Sixth Estate is the next step in the evolution of journalism. SixEstate has developed a new model of journalism for brands — Brand News — to generate thought leadership and achieve widespread search visibility.
