DESCRIPTION
How can you know your social media and content marketing efforts are performing? Through the use of the Content Marketing Index (CMI), you can know what activities are moving the needle; how you're doing against your competitors; and what predictive insights can be distilled from others' activities. This was a vendor showcase presentation by Martin van der Roest, President at Batavia Research, Co-Sponsors of "The Content Marketing Forum" hosted by SoCal BMA, August 6, 2014, in Newport Beach, CA -- as part of 'The Leading Edge' signature executive event series.TRANSCRIPT
