During the first 3 months of 2014, I’ve had a great opportunity to connect with marketers from London to Las Vegas sharing best practices and learning what’s on the mind of the marketing and PR community.
Those experiences have helped me take the temperature of what marketers questions are so I can apply those insights in our consulting and for future presentations. Topics that seemed to be high in demand include working with influencers in combination with content marketing and social media.
As popular as content and social media marketing are in terms of increasing budgets and implementations, many marketers are still wondering about best practices and how to get the most from their investments. This was clear from all the questions and follow up engagement I received from recent events like ClickZ Live in New York and the Marketo Marketing Nation Summit in San Francisco.
I’ll be answering many of those questions with speaking engagements in Q2 of 2014 along with several keynotes that focus on “Future of” topics. Here’s the breakdown of those events, topics and locations from New York to Bucharest to Minneapolis – I hope to see you at one or more of them:

Brands large and small are waging a content war that’s increasingly difficult to win. Competition for time and attention has grown exponentially as brands, publishers and empowered consumers blast the web with more information in two days than between the dawn of time to 2003. Buyers are looking for answers in that sea of information muck and in order for brands to stand out, they must become “the best answer” when and where it matters most.
