Those who create content for blogs and websites are well aware their traffic hasn’t been the same for several years. We discuss a post that tees us up for how you can try and break through – perhaps with email newsletters, influencers and employees. And we get into it a bit about the notion that you need to create and distribute your best content possible, all the time. Also this month, a monster of a brand anniversary, the often forgotten truth of ‘the long tail’ of content marketing, plus a listener question about the job titles you see in communications job postings.
