The Marketing Book Podcast

Jess Ostroff, Managing Editor at Convince & Convert, takes listeners on the road to überflip’s Content Experience to hear from content pros such as Ann Handley, Andy Crestodina, and Jay Baer on what’s broken with content marketing today and how to fix it.

Why Is Content Marketing So Broken?

This week we have a special episode for Content Pros listeners. Jess Ostroff, Managing Editor at Convince and Convert, takes us to überflip’s Content Experience in Toronto, Canada. She’s on the ground with a whole cast of content marketing power players from Ann Handley to Jay Baer, asking them for the hard truth on what’s wrong with content marketing today and how to fix it.
She unearths some true content marketing gems of advice on how your audience isn’t really too busy for your content. The problem is your content isn’t relevant. Making it relevant involves listening to your audience and speaking to them on a peer level, as opposed to maintaining a hard brand line between you.
Our content pros also weigh in on the crucial importance of collaboration and networking to building your content and your career in content.
Listen in as we get the skinny from those in the know on launching your content and your career to the next level.

In This Episode

  • How collaborating and networking leads to more successful content and a flourishing career
  • Why getting your audience to read your content means speaking to them as a peer instead of a brand
  • How relevant content leads to a busy audience finding the time to listen and read it
  • Why execution of good ideas is more important than generation of great ideas
