The Future-Proof Guide to Content Marketing Strategy

The Future-Proof Guide to Content Marketing Strategy [ebook]

Posted August 23, 2017

The days of three-martini lunches in marketing have long since vanished. In their place, we’re facing a stiff hangover from our daily information and content overload.

As you already know, content is changing at light speed. Real-time social media sites like Snapchat are eating up our free time, while podcasts, audiobooks, virtual-reality gaming and online degrees are supplanting more traditional entertainment, learning institutions and traditional ways of getting information.

For marketers, this means the bar is rising constantly. Our customers have come to expect the same real-time answers, experiences, and services they get from the likes of Netflix, Uber, or even food delivery services like GrubHub.

Which means the time to future-proof your content marketing strategy and elevate your sophistication is now. With the speed of change, getting ahead isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a must-do in order to survive future competition.

That’s why we tapped 12 leading content pros in our latest eBook, The Future-Proof Guide to Content Marketing Strategy, to help marketers like you go from hectic to ahead of the curve.

In it, these leading thinkers discuss how to:

Lay the groundwork for a digital content strategy
Create a solid, strategic foundation for content publishing
Plan for future distribution & promotional tactics that help your content make a bigger impact
Measure content effectiveness to help your company evolve

Below is a sample of their contributions. To get the full scoop, you can download the eBook here.
