B2B content creation is much like creating anything else. It takes hard work and time to create something of quality that people will admire and use for years to come.

Think, for a moment, about carpentry. There are hacks who will sell you a product that will inevitably break within a year. But there are also master carpenters that  create a lasting product that you will enjoy for years to come.

What the heck do journalists want? 

That’s a question many a harried PR professional has asked. Unfortunately, the relationship between PR pros and journalists can be fraught with each side wondering what’s wrong with the other.

Why?

Because content marketing is much more than writing. It’s about storytelling and thought leadership. It’s about connecting with your audience and providing real value to their lives.

Public relations is changing in the blink of an eye.

There’s just one problem. Some Public relations practitioners and many PR clients are running a little behind.

PR for eons was laser-focused on earned media — placing a story in media outlets. The rallying cry of clients and executives was “Get us in the New York Times or Wall Street Journal.” And, “Better yet, get us on the front page.”

PR people would overturn every stone in an effort to do just that, wooing media and appeasing clients in the process. (Full disclosure:

Let’s talk strategy.

Recently, a client hired my firm because another agency hadn’t thought through its strategy. Its approach was strictly tactical and was missing the mark.

B2B marketing trends are like a compass. While you move forward in your business endeavors, marketing trends help to keep you on course.

Trends shed light on what marketing strategies and tools work and help dictate where to spend your brand’s resources.

In a survey from Content Marketing Institute on the future of B2B marketing, 55% of the most successful marketers predicted an increase in overall marketing spend in 2019. 

While increased budgets may seem like mere wishful thinking, there is solid evidence to back it up. When asked how they would rate their marketing strategy compared with one year ago, 70% rated it as
