You’re in marketing for one reason: Grow. Grow your company, reputation, customers, impact, profits. Grow yourself. This is a community that will help. It will stretch your mind, connect you to fascinating people, and provide some fun along the way. I am so glad you’re here. -Mark Schaefer

In this new episode of The Marketing Companion, Tom Webster and I cover some of the highlights of the 2017 Content Marketing World. It was the first conference Tom and I attended together for some time so it was a good opportunity to compare notes on the content marketing spectacular.
We discuss:
- Why Tom faced a nearly empty room for his politics-related talk
- Why Mark thinks “loyalty” is a fading marketing idea
- Content Marketing World hits and misses
- And as a bonus, we announce new plans for Companion Storm 2!
