Content Marketing for Real Marketers
On Demand | Free Webinar
With 60% of marketers planning to increase content spend next year*, what types of content are going to maximize success? From which companies are you going to learn? While content marketing is certainly on the rise, much of the discussion still enters on the theoretical “Content builds trust!” or the rote “Be part of the conversation”. This session is for those with a practical persuasion. In it, a practitioner, Joe Chernov, VP of content marketing for Eloqua, will conduct an “un-webinar” with Altimeter digital analyst, and author of Content Marketing: Think Like a Publisher, Rebecca Lieb. The unscripted, unrehearsed session will consist of Chernov interviewing Lieb about her new book and what lessons real marketers can begin applying to their programs in 2012.

Content Strategy Applied
March 1-2, 2012 | Richmond, London
Following the great success of the first Content Strategy Applied conference in London in January 2011, we’re excited to announce the dates for 2012 and to reveal a sneak preview of what’s in store.
Content Strategy Applied will take place once again in Richmond, London, on 1 and 2 March 2012, hosted by eBay and co-sponsored by Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. We’ve taken the best of our 2011 event and made it even better to create a thought-provoking and fun-filled schedule that’ll keep you busy for a packed two days.
The inspiration for CSA came back in 2010 when the eBay team attended the CS Forum in Paris, where we – along with a good many in the audience – were craving more examples of content strategy in practice. We were in the thick of developing a content strategy capability at eBay in Europe, and were sold on the ‘why’. What we needed was more advice on the ‘how’ and we were desperate to hear stories – good, bad and ugly – from people who’d already been through the process.
We’re committed to keeping that spirit at the heart of Content Strategy Applied 2012, so we’ve created a programme that features case studies of real-life content strategy practice from top brands, as well as workshops in the basic – and not-so-basic – content strategy skills from industry-leading practitioners.
