We think you’ll agree that Content Marketing Rocks! One of the hottest conferences in the digital marketing industry is held in the hometown of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and we think you know the name: Content Marketing World. What better theme than Rock and Roll?
Music is powerful because it motivates us to imagine, to feel, to get up and move. There’s a harmonious parallel between music that inspires action and effective content marketing.
In order to extend that connection, TopRank® Marketing has partnered with Content Marketing Institute and the Content Marketing World conference to create a whole “songbook” of practical content marketing advice. With plenty of rock and roll metaphors included, this eBook offers chart topping content marketing tips from major BtoC and BtoB brands presenting at #CMWorld September 9-12, 2013 including:
Coca-Cola, REI , Four Seasons Hotel & Resorts, Intel, Cisco, Motorola Solutions, SAP, PR Newswire, Kinvey, Lattice Engines, Neolane, Kelly Services, National Instruments, PTC, OpenView Venture Partners, MarketingProfs, Compendium Software and Edison Research.

Along with these rocking content marketing bands, um I mean, brands, we’ve also tapped into the talent of rock star speakers at Content Marketing World for their advice on that “one thing” that can help companies break into content marketing stardom.
