Next Generation Content Marketing
Tuesday, September 23 | 7:15 – 8:15 a.m.

Your content is the foundation on which your publication is built. It is also a valuable resource for your audience and your advertisers. The tools you use to repurpose that content will redefine your bottom line at the end of the year.

The world of content repurposing is changing rapidly. Tools that were once very effective have faded into the background and are being overshadowed by new and exciting technology. Providing your end customers with the content they need, in a format they will use, will be the key to a successful repurposing program in the coming years.

Join Folio: General Manager, Tony Silber and Sean P. O’Meara from Xcedex for a revealing breakfast sponsored by Foster Printing Service. Take advantage of this opportunity for lively discussion and an information-packed presentation that reviews the key trends and new techniques for monetizing your content and changing the way you look at reprints.
