“DUDE, WHERE’S MY CONTENT?”

Without proper organization, effective content distribution becomes increasingly difficult. !!!

“HOUSTON, WE HAVE A DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM”

Once you’ve performed a content audit and established your guidelines to categorize and curate your content, you can measure and improve your assumptions around effective distribution. !
