We all hear it echoed again and again. Content is what attracts and engages. In fact, for more than 200 years, the basic ingredient in good marketing has been content.

Now that social platforms have opened up information access, sharing and publishing to the masses, forward-thinking marketing and PR professionals have an opportunity to extend the reach and usefulness of their content and influence growth in media and new business in ways that didn’t exist even a few short years ago.

On Thursday, February 21 at 1 p.m. EST, Marketwire hosts a free webinar featuring Lee Odden, a 15-year Internet marketing veteran and nationally respected author and consultant. Lee will show communication professionals how to optimize their content-focused digital marketing and PR programs. He’ll explain how optimization using keywords and links is making room for a new set of signals and tactics, resulting in the need for a more customer-centric approach.

As Lee says, many online marketers “get” the value of SEO, social media and even content independently, but working them together in a way that makes sense is often a challenge.

At this free Marketwire-sponsored webinar, attendees will learn how to integrate SEO, social media and content marketing to maximize outcomes and influence growth in media and new business. Lee will share his proven three-pronged model to help attendees leverage content to attract, engage and convert.

The traditional features release with its consumer-directed, ready-to-go content is ideal for exposing your messages to a diverse audience. But features releases can accomplish another goal. Because features stories now appear on media websites and search engines that reach millions of people online, with a little creativity and planning your features release can become a valuable tool for measuring the success of your PR and marketing activities.

But now, content – text, images, video/flash, audio – can simply overwhelm. “Everyone” is publishing content and it is “everywhere,” ranging from blog posts to white papers to videos posted on YouTube. With all this noise, the content we post on our websites may not be attracting our target audiences and achieving expected results. So how do we open the door to greater content-publishing and audience-engagement success? Like anything else, the devil’s in the details.
