In this week’s episode, Content Marketing Institute’s Robert Rose is thinking about how we all need to watch our tone. He shares a news article about in-person events that makes him think of that fortune-cookie game – instead of adding the phrase “in bed" to the end, just add the word virtual to the title. Plus he talks with marketing consultant Dennis Shiao about the right way to do virtual events. And finally he points you to an article about the magic of ghostwriting. And that’s a wrap for the week ending March 20, 2020.

So let me tell you a story … Once upon a time, customers wanted content. So, marketing produced it.
As new ways to reach customers emerged, marketers kept creating more and more content. They also started growing their teams and adding technology to help drive engagement.
But in all the excitement, we forgot why we started making content in the first place: for our customers. We knew the messages we worked so hard to build were getting lost in the chaos, but we didn't know another way.
Finally our customer said, "Enough! You're confusing me!"
With that, Kapost was born. Kapost unites revenue teams to speak in one voice across the entire customer journey.
