Past Content Marketing World Authors

Here are  Content Marketing World authors who aren’t attending  this year’s conference.

I’ve read a large number of these books and they’re also worth your investment of time and money.

 

Content Marketing World Authors Bottom Line:

These high-profile authors are at the forefront of content marketing as a living breathing business strategy.

Unlike many business book authors, they’re not just focused on dusty strategies taught in universities and business schools.

These Content Marketing World authors work in the marketing and sales trenches to drive bottom line results.

Read (or listen) to their books.

Keep them near your desk to check regularly.

Think of this long format content as the user manuals you don’t get with your marketing job.

Go on—I dare you to find time to read them.

You’ll be glad you did!

BTW – Get them before you go to Content Marketing World, Authors are thrilled to sign your copy!

Happy Marketing,
Heidi Cohen
