  • Break the Rules! - How to Use Creative Concepts to Build Anticipation for Your Content - Episode 73

    It's way too easy to make assumptions about what your content is "supposed" to look like, and to build your strategy around those assumptions.

    In today's episode, after a conversation about vacations (give us your Disney World travel tips!), we're diving into how to think outside the box in your approach to content marketing. We bring some examples of brands that are using creative, original concepts that capture attention and build momentum.

    (Oh, and fun fact: The "1.0 vs. 2.0" concept Austin mentions in this episode for one of his clients just went viral 2 weeks ago, and has led to over 20,000 new followers in a matter of 14 days. Pretty neat!)
