Check out Mac Christian's thoughts on content marketing
When it comes to creating engagement using marketing, Mac shares:
"I put a lot of focus into listening. This helps me find out where to guide my team to a solution. If I've done my job right, I am not creating anything. I'm letting my team and culture run with the ball to find a solution. Then we measure rigorously and iterate where necessary."
He also shares about how to keep your brand fresh over time:
"If a brand needs to be fresh, I believe it is a matter of relevance. It's sort of a societal reading of the room. You're attempting to be the person in the room that people want to approach. That involves listening to what is happening in the room at all times."
Mac also explains how marketers should be thinking about content and the buyer’s journey:
"I view the buyer's journey as dating and finding a partner. When we look at it like this, it enables us to create the simulated journey of a relationship."
