Content Marketing Strategy For Adventurous Brands

Course details

Almost every adventure travel company will be doing "content marketing" in some form or another, even without knowing it. If you're maintaining social media, sending out an email newsletter or running a travel blog, that's all content marketing. But it's not content strategy.

The clue is in the name: this course is about doing all those things strategically, avoiding channel overload and tactical confusion. Most importantly it's about understanding our goals and how to measure them.

Although "content marketing" has been much discussed over recent years, there are still huge questions around how content strategy can be done effectively, and how its results and outcomes should be measured.

In this course we explore how content marketing is done properly, and how to bring it all together into a unified content strategy.
