“Content marketing is too often executed like a typical studio album — a number of unconnected songs — or worse, a bunch of random iTunes singles.
What goal are you trying to achieve?
What story do you need to tell?
What content do you need?
This is how you create a content marketing ‘hit’ for your business objective. Rock on.” —Brian Clark
“Great bands aren’t just performing for their own entertainment. Rather, they are absorbing audience feedback and playing the music that makes them scream for more.
As a content marketing rock star, create harmony with your audience by delivering experiences that motivate people to get out of their seats. Do this enough and listeners become your fans… and your viral network. Cue the encore and watch them wave their smartphones.” —Buddy Scalera
“Like any musician, I try to create content that ‘speaks to’ my audience, and then hustle like hell to get it discovered — advertising, social media, PR, and always relying on ‘fans’ to get the word out!” —Joe Chernov
