Dear 

I hope that you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend.

Content Marketing World is less than a week away and I'm so excited. 

I just shipped off the final version of my Content Curation Workshop to Content Marketing Institute. While I hear that it's a sellout workshop, perhaps they can squeeze you in. (It doesn't hurt to ask.)

In my opinion, content curation is going to be a big area of content marketing in 2015 and beyond since customers don't want to continually hear "Me, me, me" from marketers. Content curation allows you to mix your message with that of other people.

Please let me know if you're going to be at Content Marketing World.

Happy marketing,
Heidi Cohen,  Chief Content Officer - Actionable Marketing Guide

It's 2014 and the 500 largest companies in the US are expanding their use and adaption of social media. (BTW, here's how the Fortune 500 behaved on social media in 2013.)

While this should seem like a no-brainer to American adults who on average spend an hour and seven minutes on social media platforms daily, making the business case for social media in a large organization isn't always easy. Continue reading

25 Free Fall Content Marketing Titles

Labor Day Weekend signals the end of summer, at least in my small area of the world. Marketers, like students, need to think in terms of back-to-school and fall.

While many American students are already back at school and the back-to-school marketing push occurred in early August, you can still attract a portion of the $669.28 the average US family spends for grade-schoolers or the $916.48 college students spend, according to the National Retail Federation with the right content. Continue reading
