I Was Content, When Content
Wasn't Cool
I use
that title with apologies to Barbara Mandrell
and George Jones and to everyone who had to read it. The
trouble is, it's not only completely cornball and
annoyingly melodic, it also happens to be true.
I earned my living for ten years writing, editing and
acquiring and managing "content" back when we still
called it "copy" or "editorial".
And if you think that's "old economy," let me tell you,
the common sense rules that applied to "good
content" 20 years ago still apply.

Very seriously, my content expertise
--creating and providing and measuring consumer reaction
to "content"-- is
at the core of my being as a marketing professional and I believe
that "good content" is the core of good marketing.
That's good news for you because content remains the
most important part of your interactive marketing
efforts. The interactive marketing trade press often
repeats the axiom: "Content is King. "
