Episode #50 - Why You Should Stress Out Your Fans

CMI Weekly Wrap

In this week’s episode, Content Marketing Institute’s Robert Rose explains why we should work harder to stress out our audience – in a good way. Plus, he offers a fresh take on a new article that says marketers are increasingly creeping people out (and some ideas on how not to). He talks with marketing legend David Meerman Scott about what marketers get wrong about content – and what they can do about it. And finally, he points you to an article about three toy brands that inspire fans with their content marketing. That a wrap for the week (and year) ending December 20, 2019.
