Praise for Content Marketing Works
"The new question isn't should you do content marketing, it's precisely HOW do you do content marketing effectively. This is the actionable playbook for which you've been waiting. Recommended!" - Jay Baer, New York Times bestselling author of Youtility
"This book can (and for many, should) serve as a first step to upgrading your content marketing practices. Arnie and Brad deeply understand the relationship between content, marketing strategy, traffic opportunities, and sales, and what's better, have made that information useful and accessible." - Rand Fishkin, founder, Moz
"Content Marketing Works wisely emphasizes that content marketing is a process, not a project. Just as a magazine doesn't publish a single issue, nor should your content program. Arnie and Brad take a complicated and critical element of modern business and demystifies it with case studies, instruction, and an 8 Step guide. Nicely done." - Larry Kim, founder and CTO, WordStream
