If one truly wants to understand the dynamism of the marketing profession, one needs to look no further than the Ad World Conference.
Ad World understands the connecting dots that make up the marketing space, hence the no-fluff, insightful nuggets from all intersections in marketing are front and center.
Here are 3 insightful Content Marketing conversations from Ad World May 2022 that I am definitely going to rewatch:
01. The Content Factory: How to Streamline Content Generation and Maximize Performance
You know the conversation packed a punch when you are able to recall and have a mental walkthrough of the content even weeks after and just remember the insights divulged by Dennis Yu.
It is about resonating and connecting with your audience-Dennis mentions about Content on TikTok. However, smart marketers understand that it is a statement relevant and applicable across other platforms as well.

The bottom-line metric that makes all marketing successful is reach and amplification. Rand Fishkins believes brands and marketers often focus on only a subsection of their ‘actual audience’ and ‘potential reach’.
