Fresh off the back of the success of our Sydney event, which attracted over 250 marketers, we’re bringing ‘How to be an effective content marketer’ to Melbourne in May!

We’re predicting it to be sell-out event just like Sydney, so register today to avoid disappointment.

Lauded by online marketing experts and brands alike, this new approach to online marketing focuses on developing and delivering targeted, informative and engaging content to online audiences in the hopes of building relationships and ultimately driving profitable business outcomes.  

While the benefits of content marketing are widely proclaimed, practical knowledge of the ways in which online content can be effectively utilised to drive business success is less well known- as evidenced by recent research into Australian content marketing.

While most marketers intend to embrace the benefits of content marketing, many are struggling with issues including strategy development and integration, process management, and structure.
