Dear 

Summer is in full swing.

Take advantage of the warm weather to get out of your office and give your mind time to refresh.

51% of the average employees in the US who receive vacation time actually take time off from their jobs according to Harris Interactive research

While I appreciate that this is financially easier when you work for an organization that provides paid vacation time, you still need take time for yourself, away from your computer and work.

To accomplish this, I cut back on my blog posting this summer. I've discovered that doing this has fueled a burst of creative energy.

I'm using this creativity to develop content for presentations I'm giving this fall, writing more blog posts in advance, and developing guest posts. Among the topics for big pieces of content I'm producing for my upcoming speaking engagements are:

  • Content Curation
  • To Make B2B Content Marketing Fun
  • Content Marketing: Social Media Versus Search
  • Marketing Persona

For Content Marketing World 2014 in Cleveland this September, I'm teaching a pre-conference intensive course on Content Curation. I'd be thrilled if you'd join me.

BTW-Did I mention that the first 5 people who purchase Content Marketing World tickets through my affiliate will receive a FREE mini-consulting session with me? Here's more information on Content Marketing World.

Enjoy your summer!

Happy marketing,
Heidi Cohen
