Getting Excited About Data at Content Marketing World

I’m excited to be going to Content Marketing World, where I’ll be moderating the Analytics and Data track on Thursday, September 7.

There’s an amazing line-up of experts and topics:

DATA VISUALIZATION AND ADDING GOOD CHARTS with Scott Berinato

Scott Berinato is the author of Good Charts: The HBR Guide to Making Smarter, More Persuasive Data Visualizations.

A REVOLUTION IN RESONANCE: THE ART OF CONTENT PRODUCTION AND THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT with Misia Tramp

Misia Tramp will be leading the last Analtyics & Data session of the day, with a fascinating take on using scientific analysis to stay ahead of the competition and identify the topics of “mutual resonance” — “the intersection of what businesses want to say and what customers want to hear—at the linguistic, emotional, and content levels.”

Of course, there are many other great sessions and brilliant speakers ahead, too. Can’t wait!
