Author: John Bottom

After River Phoenix's dad, the second most significant John Bottom on the web. (check it out if you don't believe me.) That's not counting John Bottom, the insolvency lawyer in British Columbia. Or John Bottom of Lincoln who, according to judicial records, was indicted in 1767 for the theft of 32 pounds weight of raisins. We're a distinguished bunch, we Bottoms, and I just happen to be the side of the family that works in B2B marketing. I do it because I like it and have been fairly successful in helping clients plan and implement content marketing strategies that brings them results. And it pays better than stealing raisins.
