I'm in Dallas this week presenting a workshop on integrating content marketing and social media strategy and a session on strategic content curation for the Social Media Strategies Summit (at the wonderful Hotel ZaZa).
Integrating Content Marketing and Social Media Strategy
Today's workshop on integrating content marketing and social media strategy is based on the strategic view that while content marketing existed before social media, the strategic combination of the two delivers the most effective results for brands. Even though this seems like common sense, research suggests not all brand marketers are taking advantage of integrating these efforts. Ineffective content marketers are 5 times less likely to create a documented content strategy and are using fewer social platforms than leading content marketers.
For those attending the workshop, and those who aren't going to be with us in Dallas, here's an overview of the topics we'll cover along with links to underlying content we'll be covering in-depth during the two-hour workshop.
