This is a presentation delivered by Chase Neinken at the Argyle Executive Forum for Financial Services in New York City, June 2017.
In my talk we cover how to:
- Use distribution channels to generate more conversions than traditional paid media
- Use content via email to generate qualified leads
- Monetize traffic coming to your content hub
- Build a formula to track the ROI of your content marketing efforts
