Thursday, May 7, 2015: Finding Your Theme: How to Create Content that Connects with Brian Posnanski
Meeting Information
Meetings are open to everyone — there is no charge to attend. This was held at The Venture Cafe Gathering at CIC from 7-7:45pm — see directions and details below.
About the meeting: As we all know, content is king… but what kind of content? If you want to create content that connects, it needs to be focused on the Who, What and Why that are relevant to your business.
This workshop will help you think about the strategy and structure of your content BEFORE you start crafting material to fuel your SEO, social media and lead generation. We will begin by offering an overview of effective content strategy, or why you need to “find your theme,†and we’ll look at two examples of startups that have done it right.
Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of their Who, What and Why, their own “Content Sketching†worksheet and a better sense of how to approach the vital but challenging task of crafting effective content that reaches the right audience.
