Telling Your Story with a Multi-Channel Approach: Content Marketing World 2012
I’m quite excited to share news that I’ll be speaking at Content Marketing World 2012! Here is an article that I’ve written to tease my presentation.
I love marketing.
As a result, I often get excited about new channels and technologies that appear. Over the past few years, this has included such things as QR Codes, Near Field Communication (NFC), and of course various social networks. Perhaps you also have the tendency to get excited about new channels and opportunities that arise!
However, one of the biggest things that I’ve learned throughout my business career has been this — you can never rely solely on one channel to get the job done! No matter how buzz a channel or technology may come up, the best way to effectively reach your audience is through an integrated, multi-channel effort.
In today’s world, it may seem harder than ever to stand out and get noticed. But during my presentation at Content Marketing World, titled “Expand the Reach of Your Story with Multi-Channel Marketing”, I will demonstrate how you can effectively use a mix of traditional and newer marketing channels to tell your brand’s story more effectively than ever before!
I hope to see you there!
In the meantime, I’d love to connect with you on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, or Pinterest!

I Am Going to Drupa!
Throughout the 16 years that I’ve been CEO of interlinkONE, I’ve had the chance to visit a lot of great places. Whether it was for a trade show, a customer visit, or some other reason, my job has taken me to the islands, the mountains, the heartlands, big cities, and more.
But I have never been to the home of the biggest trade show in the print industry: Düsseldorf, Germany for Drupa!
Well, that is going to change in a few weeks.
I Am Headed to Drupa 2012
Yes, it is true. I will be headed over to Germany to attend Drupa 2012.
And while I’m absolutely excited to experience this massive event firsthand, I’m also thrilled to announce that I’ll be speaking there as well!
I will be delivering two presentations during the Dscoop at Drupa event.
