Why CMI Fell in Love with Intelligent Content (And You Will, Too)

Why was Joe Pulizzi delivering the keynote presentation at last year’s Intelligent Content Conference? He challenged the notion that content marketing is an isolated effort belonging to marketing.

Marcia Riefer Johnston has written a great article about this year’s upcoming Intelligent Content Conference. I attended last year’s conference at the same time as she, and I will concur that it was a great conference to attend, and it’s where I first heard of content marketing. It’s content marketing which I’m in the process of understanding this year, hence the digital marketing courses that I’ll be starting shortly.  

 

Take a look at this, as I had a pretty similar reaction last year as Marcia did (but she phrases it much more eloquently that I could). If you can go to this year’s, I highly encourage it. Unfortunately, I can’t make it to this year’s, but don’t let that stop you from going!

  1. BTW, to your statement “It’s content marketing which I’m in the process of understanding this year,” have you considered Content Marketing World in September? Cleveland is closer to home for you than some of the other conferences you like to go to (and that are too far this year).

    1. I have to see. I will be taking that digital marketing course starting in the next week, and we’ll see how that works out. Cleveland certainly is closer, but planning for things that are 8-9 months out when I’m still figuring out what I’m doing 4-5 months out from now is difficult to do. I’m also interested in IDW this year, so I’ll have to see where things are situated between finances and employment at that point.

What say you?
