Radix Copycast Episode 24: Doug Kessler talks intelligent content and copywriting

We bring you the lowdown from TFM&A 2015 – plus an exclusive interview with Velocity’s Doug Kessler about intelligent content and its impact on B2B copywriting.


B2B marketing has been going through a great many changes over the past three years, from the rise of content marketing to the adoption of marketing automation by many brands.

Today, 86% of B2B marketers use content marketing and 65% of information technology companies have adopted marketing automation.

But what about new technologies, and ways of producing and presenting content? Emily gives us the lowdown from this year’s Technology for Marketing & Advertising as regards new technology trends on show.

As we discussed in episode 23, intelligent content is a huge meteor that could be about to crash into content marketing – but many copywriters don’t even suspect it’s on its way.
