Developing content can cause some of the biggest pain points for our organizations and projects—late content, bad content, inconsistent off-brand content all cause a negative impact on your marketing programs. And here's the cold, hard truth: No matter which channels you pick for content marketing—SEO, social communities, your website—if your content sucks, you've wasted your money on everything else.
When you use best practices for content development, you're making a smart plan for creating, delivering, and taking care of your content, no matter what it is and where it goes. Sounds great, right? It is. But here's the problem. Content development and marketing takes time, money, and people. And because it's pretty new to most of us, it might be a while before the people with the pocketbooks are willing to pay for it.
Good news! In this session, we'll discuss best practices for developing high-quality, content, consistent with your brand that can be used to nurture your prospects through the sales process. Additionally, you'll discover several ways you can start taking advantage of content tools and processes right now to see immediate, measurable results. You'll leave the seminar knowing how to create better, more manageable content your audiences will actually care about and that will bring them closer to your business.
