Content Rules!: How to Create Content People Actually Care About

Produce great stuff, and your customers will come to you. Produce great stuff, and your customers will share your story for you. Of course, like many things in life, that bit of luck comes with a hitch: your online content must be the right sort of content: Customer-focused. Authentic. Compelling. Remarkable. Interesting. Valuable. Ann will show you how to create remarkable content: blogs, podcasts, webinars, ebooks, and other web content that will lure would-be customers to you.

The Content Rules for Marketing Executives

How does a company make the leap from “marketing-speak” to become a publisher on the Web? How do you know what to say? How can you create stories and videos and blog posts that people will love? How can you cultivate fans and spark devotion? How can your ideas ignite your business? How do you know if it’s working? Now for all you executives…how do you plan, resource and operationalize content marketing in your organization?

The Soul of Your Brand

If you're going to put content to work for your business, you need that's more than pixels and text and bytes. Your content should truly reflects who you are, content that's deeply rooted in your brand. You need content with soul. Ann will explore why certain content sets companies apart, then give you ideas on how you can create content that is truly the soul of your brand.

From Boring to Story: How to Make Your Content Rule

Lately, everyone is suddenly embracing that “publisher” mantra… loving up content, extolling its virtues, and excited about its future. But content isn't a magic bullet. How can you create the kind of content that will truly ignite your business, instead of just boring your audience? Ann will share how the principles in her book, Content Rules, will help communicators excel in this rich and storied social world, and not fall into the traps that relegate content to the din of mediocrity.
