•
1 recomendación•311 vistas
While it seems like some of the most successful content campaigns and marketing efforts are the result of creative geniuses, the truth is that coming up with great content really has nothing to do with traditional creativity. In fact, the more "creative" our content is, the less helpful it can be for our audiences. That's because creating great content isn't actually an art – it's a science. And there's a specific process for how brands can engage and attract more customers. This lighthearted and entertaining session will reveal exactly what that formula is and how you can use it every single day. What you'll learn: -Understand what actually makes "great content" -Check whether or not you and your teams are creating the right content for your organisation and your audiences -Discover ways to get content into alignment with your goals, plus get teams on the same page -Get reusable and strategic frameworks for content marketing success About the presenter Anna Hrach Anna Hrach is a speaker, marketing strategist, and content expert who tackles her clients’ toughest marketing problems with fearlessness and tenacity.
