Content Strategy: How to Get Grassroots Growth

Monday, November 19th from 8:15 - 9:45 pm

Chris Dannen, Tech Journalist & Author

Fast forward a few months: your product or service is booming and the social networks are alight with your name. How did you develop such a loyal following? How, without a PR department, an advertising budget, a big-name producer or professional marketing? The answer is simple: you told the real story of your creative endeavors to people who matter.

Student Takeaways:

  • When creating content:
  • Delivery, not take out: go find your readers, not visa versa
  • Dedication over sheer reach: value an enfranchised user base over a huge one
  • Tell the behind the scenes story: don’t talk to people like a stranger
  • Post always, not sometimes: consistency and quality is vital
