During his keynote at this month’s Content Marketing World, Convince and Convert’s Jay Baer discussed the importance of passion in content marketing. He went on to say that:
“Passion is the differentiator, more so than any tactic. It will set you apart.”
And Velocity Partners’ Doug Kessler explained at this year’s B2B Summit – during his talk Stop Creating Crap: 10 reasons your content isn’t very good but could be – that one of the ways to produce great content is to fill your writers with enthusiasm.
