We all want to think there’s true meaning in the work we do. In this episode, Content Marketing Institute’s Robert Rose questions why we create the content we create. Plus, he offers a fresh take on a news piece about how Best Buy might just be your next media buy; an interview with the founder of the Native Advertising Institute; and an article that will help you do native advertising the right way. And that’s a wrap for the week ending, October 19, 2019.

INTERVIEW of the week

Jesper Laursen, founder of the Native Advertising Institute, and CEO of Brand Movers and Media Movers, agencies that work in content marketing and journalism, respectively. Jesper believes native advertising done right holds great potential for getting your message to the right people, at the right time, and in the right manner. He’s the host of the Clever Content Conference, Native Advertising Days, and The EDGE conference, where I recently spoke. I ask Jesper about what he calls the “next frontier” of content marketing – integrating everything from TV ads to paid search to direct calling to all the tactics in the marketing mix.
