Content marketing isn't about 'marketing' any thing. It is about storytelling. @writtenbyemilie Click To Tweet

We should be sharing the stories of the people at our company, the ones who make up our brand. We should be telling the story of our customers, the ones who make our brand possible. And we should be telling the story of ourselves. Who are you? What is your story? Tell your story.
