Steve Floyd, Founder/CEO of AXZM, a digital marketing boutique, brings his expertise to the Digital Marketing for Business session, Selling Guns to Gandhi: The Art of Content Buy-In, as part of the Expert Track on May 8th at 9 a.m.
We caught up with Steve to find out more about his session and what attendees can expect to gain from attending it.
Q: Why is getting buy-in for content marketing so difficult?
A: I have seen a lot of people the last few years who are super-focused on content marketing with no clear strategy of why they are creating that content and most importantly – how it gets them closer to their business goals. In addition, getting buy-in from the C suite has proven to be a bigger roadblock than I have ever encountered at any phase of my career.
Q: What does this session offer people who are encountering those same obstacles?
A: I give away actionable resources, real-world successes (and failures) as well as free workflow management tools for content strategy / content marketing deliverables that will help you get the job done. Whether you are working in-house, on the agency side, in the C-Suite or as an independent consultant you can benefit from the things I share in this talk.
Q: How does this session relate to the work you do at AXSM?
A: For the first five years, I worked as a designer and developer on various CMS platforms, primarily Drupal and WordPress. The last four or five years I have been hanging out around the intersection of content strategy, UX / IA and SEO / SEM. Primarily, I get to help people solve problems and grow their business. There really isn’t a better feeling then when your clients win.
Q: As a first-time #DMFB14 attendee, what are you looking forward to most?
A: I’m from the south (Dallas) and have visited Atlanta and many cities in Florida, but I have never been to North Carolina. I am excited to meet local people in Raleigh at the conference that can share their experiences in digital marketing as well as the culture and history of the city.
