In the noisy world of digital marketing, it’s important to have content that is interesting, relevant, and digestible. Many content marketers focus on the quality of their content and rest easy knowing that their audience will find, appreciate, and consume these high-quality posts.
However, David knows the hard truth of the matter which is the fact that your customers will not find your content. It’s up to you, and you alone, to get it in front of them. Content distribution is no longer an afterthought. It is just as important as content curation.
Without a solid plan to disseminate your material to a targeted audience, that excellently written, perfectly tagged, fascinatingly relevant post will go nowhere fast.
His experience on expertly personalizing content and pushing it above the cluttered landscape has provided him with a unique perspective on reframing content marketing for success. David’s approach to content curation, dissemination, and personalization will help any content marketer get their material in front of the audience that matters.

In This Episode

  • Why the quality of lead gen no longer means acquiring appropriate contact information
  • How aiming for personalization leads to gathering data that drives content that converts
  • Why taking your content to the next level of personalization means moving beyond personas
  • How relevant content shaped by data and client insights leads to positioning your brand ahead of the competition
