13 Holiday Gift/Book Ideas for Content Marketers


If you’re like me, finding holiday gifts for those special content marketing professionals in your life is always a challenge. I mean, do you go

buyer personas, content strategy, sales integration or even selling to the c-level? So many choices, so little time.

Our resident design expert Joseph Kalinowski came up with his own rendition of holiday gift ideas for CMI friends Jay Baer, Ann Handley, David Meerman Scott, Jason Falls… as well as myself. If you know these people at all, I believe Joe’s gift ideas would be a big hit with each.

But since an orange Ferrari and a barrel of Maker’s Mark is a bit out of reach at the moment, I’ve come up with some helpful (yet some self-serving) holiday book ideas for the content marketer in all of us. Enjoy!
