Content Marketing is one of those vague terms that means nothing, and everything, all at once. In a growing discipline like this, there is no single expert, no “guru” with all of the answers.

So, instead of creating an ebook that shows off everything **we** know, we compiled a guide that brought together the expertise of more than 20 of the greatest content minds in publishing today and turned it into actionable advice that we can all apply to our own brands, whether you are a marketer, a publisher, a creator or a technologist.

A huge thanks to all those that contributed:
