No Business is Boring! How to Create Exciting Content for Unglamorous Industries

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Even the most technical, regulated or typically “boring” industries can create content that inspires and excites audiences. In fact, these businesses have a unique opportunity to talk to their prospects and educate them in a way that few other companies in their space do. B2B, manufacturing and other traditionally unglamorous industries who are able to reveal their voice, personality, perspective and expertise in their content make stronger and lasting connections with their audiences. They are able to share their story with the world and in turn, drive leads and sales. In our latest webinar, SPROUT Content Co-founders Dechay Watts and Debbie Williams discussed how they inspire their clients and others in technical, "behind the scenes" industries to think about their content differently. You'll get tips from these content marketing authors on communicating person-to-person, how to come up with compelling ideas and creating content that won't put your audience to sleep. Our live brainstorming exercise and tips for creating content will help you break the mold of your conventional industry.
