actionable marketing guide
Dear , Last Friday I had the pleasure of having breakfast with Top Rank's CEO, Lee Odden, who was in New York speaking. Whether you're talking about search, social media or content, Lee is the king of Optimization. In fact he wrote the book, Optimize. My point here isn't to be the TMZ or Gawker of the marketing world. (We didn't even take a selfie!!!) While Odden and I have written about Influencer Relations, most marketers and PR professionals overlook the key point: It's about relationships!!! Lee and I met at a conference in San Francisco back in 2006 and have been friends ever since. Rather, our breakfast underscores an important point Peter Shankman, the founder of HARO, repeatedly made to my NYU classes: "Always take the meeting!" Shankman acquired a seemingly unprofitable knitting shop as his client because he was willing to take the time drive to their suburban store. The store had deeper pockets than an outsider would expect. Based on the problem of getting customers to leave New York City, Shankman came up with the idea for a Yarn Bus (Think Oscar Meyermobile with balls of yarn.) The yarn buss attracted tons of media attention. (Want to know more about it? Read Peter Shankman's Can We Do That?!)

Content Marketing Optimization: The Ultimate
Guide Say "content marketing optimization" and most marketers instinctively think "search". Did you realize solely focusing on optimizing the search-related elements of your content marketing may hurt your results? While search is a critical component of content optimization, it's NOT the only factor. Content Aggregation Simplified: 5 Super Easy Steps In its simplest form content aggregation is the collection of information based on a common topic involving one or more related keywords.
