In this week’s episode, Content Marketing Institute’s Robert Rose is thinking about creating real (and good) audiences. He talks with digital marketing consultant Ian Truscott about content strategy – and why search “sucks” so much now. And he points you to an article that explains how to bring audiences together – even in the social-distancing era. And that’s a wrap for the week ending July 24, 2020.
