DESCRIPTION

Yes, content is king in professional and other knowledge-based marketing. But content only rules if it is shared in an engaging way. Delivering content is one thing; delivering persuasive, useful, brand-building content is another. During this presentation you will find principles of user-focused, courteous, attention-earning content for any medium—websites, blogs, e-alerts, brochures, white papers, proposals—even conversations.

— David Ogilvy
