The Rockstar Marketing Book Podcast: Content Marketing Strategy by Robert Rose Episode
Something different this week, as Ian Truscott channels his inner Douglas Burdett (host of the Marketing Book Podcast) and interviews his friend and content marketing guru, Robert Rose, Chief Trouble Maker at The Content Advisory, who is a coach, consultant and speaker and who has now published his fourth book: Content Marketing Strategy: Harness the Power of Your Brands Voice. Ian asks Robert about the process of writing the book and what's changed since his first book (that inspired Ian's content marketing journey), Managing Content Marketing, which Robert wrote in 2011 with his regular content co-conspirator Joe Pulizzi. Robert shares some excellent examples of great content marketing, how content marketing is now becoming just marketing and how you execute your company's content marketing strategy is a differentiator, not just the content and the top things one should take from the book, including the confidence to make the models your own. Great chat, splendid book, but don't take our word for it: "Robert Rose offers marketers a rich and much-needed understanding of content marketing. And he not only delivers everything we need to know about marketing content; his book also delivers valuable marketing insights." - Philip Kotler, S.C.

The Dilya, Demand Generation and Look to the Right of the Publish Button Episode
We return after a week away, and Ian Truscott kicks off this episode with a thought about the imposter syndrome that haunts content creators worrying about whether all of their ideas have already been written. And, as our regular Rockstar CMO advisor, Jeff Clark is away this week, Ian's guest is Dilya Abushayeva, marketer, storyteller and founder of Mavuus. As Dilya shares in her bio: "I’m a lover of all things marketing – but if I had to choose a favorite, it would probably be storytelling. I love a good opportunity to thoroughly get familiar with a subject matter (a product, a person, or a brand) and then be able to paint an interesting story that truly engages and captivates the audience. Over the last 15 years, I’ve had the fortune to work alongside some of the most talented marketers out there – listening, learning, and observing from various fields of the monstrous marketing machine, including product, communications, and demand gen. I’ve learned that the power of marketing can’t be boxed in. It’s not all about leads, neither is it all about inbound or outbound. The true power of marketing lies in understanding how all the elements work together like clockwork to generate real results. Creativity is not a nine-to-five job, it can’t be timed, and it definitely cannot be forced. Great ideas are generated as a result of a clear mind and limitless inspiration. My inspiration comes from art, music, books, travel, and politics, to name a few." Nicely put, and as you'll hear, Dilya has a passion for our craft, and we recommend checking out the Mavuus platform. And as usual, we wind down the week in the Rockstar CMO virtual bar and get transported away with Robert Rose, Chief Trouble Maker at The Content Advisory, who shares a great thought from a recent webinar he did with Optimizely's Dean Barker - Palaces of Innovation: The Impact of Platforms and Process on Creativity.
