Talking Points Podcast: Is Content Really the Joker?

|

In this week’s edition of the Talking Points Podcast, Kevin Hunt and I discuss a post written by a former journalist turned content marketer. It’s a classic rant (mostly lamenting the demise of modern journalism), but in the post, the author also raises a good point: Are we, as PRs/marketers, pushing executives to product TOO MUCH content? With content fatigue front and center lately, I thought this was a good talking point. Listen to the podcast for the complete discussion.

We also talked about a number of other topics, including those Kevin heard at the recent SocialMedia.Org event in Chicago this week, where big brands from around the country get together to discuss best practices. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the Volvo/Jean Claude Van Damme video below. Amazing.
