Tamsen Webster, executive producer of TEDxCambridge and public speaking strategist, says stage fright leads marketers to miss huge opportunities to differentiate themselves.
Consider that 68% of B2B marketers use in-person events and 58% use webinars and webcasts as part of their content portfolio, according to CMI’s 2017 Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends—North America. And roughly one-third call events “critical to success” in 2017.Continue Reading
Many companies producing great content at a consistent pace soon face a predicament — they have so much content that they:
Enter digital asset management (DAM), one of the hottest subjects in content marketing this year. Digital asset management is all about how you manage your broad portfolio of content assets — from the way assets are annotated, cataloged, and stored to methods of retrieval and distribution. DAM technology solutions automate many aspects of the process, meaning your team can use and reuse content more efficiently, while minimizing errors and inconsistency.Continue Reading
One of our favorite ways to interact with our community on Twitter is through our weekly #CMWorld Twitter chat. The chat started in 2013 with a 10-week experiment prior to Content Marketing World as a way to connect our speakers with potential and registered attendees. After that event, we received many requests from the #CMWorld Twitter community to continue the chats. Fast forward to today, and we have hosted almost 130 chats and have learned a lot along the way.
If you are considering starting a Twitter chat as part of your content marketing efforts or improving your existing chat, read on to get a detailed look inside our process as well as some lessons learned.Continue Reading

In short, you really can’t have one without the other.Continue Reading
Last week, while many members of the Content Marketing Institute team traveled Down Under for Content Marketing World Sydney, I stayed stateside to take advantage of an amazing opportunity to spend three days at Adobe’s 12th annual Digital Marketing Summit.
The star power was impressive, to say the least, as well as highly relevant to attendees — in our marketing roles and beyond: Robert Redford talked about taking risks and creating change; Seattle Seahawk Richard Sherman discussed personal branding strategies; and Modern Family‘s Eric Stonestreet brilliantly co-hosted Adobe’s “Sneaks” — a sneak preview of potential Adobe products to be rolled out in the next 12 months.Continue Reading
While the team at Content Marketing Institute has A LOT to be thankful for, one of the things we are especially appreciative of is our active Twitter chat community. So on this day of thanks (at least in the United States), we wanted to extend a huge thank you to all of you who have attended and participated in our #CMWorld Twitter chats, as well to those who read the Twitter streams each week.

We are excited to see what the #CMWorld community has become, and proud that our 10-week chat “promotion window” has turned into a weekly event around which many of our attendees plan their Tuesdays. Continue Reading
