In the Digital Marketing and PR world, success requires a continuous effort to stay sharp and on top of what’s working and what is not. Information overload from social media has brought an exponential increase in noise, causing many marketing and PO pros to “overdose” on digital content or shut it out altogether.
I like to think that we’ve done our best to provide you with a nice, clear signal here on TopRank’s Online Marketing Blog and at industry events.
Speaking of events, we’re providing several options for a clear digital marketing and PR signal across 11 different conferences over the next few months. Topics include:
- Digital & Integrated Marketing
- Personal Branding With Content & Social Media
- B2B Content Marketing & Blogging
- Participation & Influencer Marketing
- Modular Content Planning & Repurposing
In our view of digital marketing and PR, we believe in an approach that favors an integrated mix of content that is optimized for search, socialized for networks, publicized to 3rd party media and influencer activated. Content focused marketing that provides marketers (and buyers) with quality information that is easy to find is successful marketing.
The trouble is, as more companies churn out content, numerous issues emerge: A growing distance between content function and consumer need, issues with consistency of content quality and quantity, and the ability to distribute and amplify content to reach a sufficient audience.
The Solution: Consistent, Quality Content that Attracts, Engages and Converts
To help you find a clear signal that will resonate with your need for content marketing smarts, here are 11 digital marketing & PR events where you can learn more about how to make content marketing perform for customers, the media and your business. Whether you’re a B2B or B2C marketer, digital marketing or public relations focused, this series of events is certain to include advice in a location that’s just right for you.
