We tend to think of writing in a few different ways.

It’s creative. It’s technical. Or, it’s expressive.

When we’re talking about creative writing or content writing, we as marketers often become so obsessed with what’s going to look best, what our clients will like, or what sets our work apart. All of those things are important, don’t get us wrong, but often we forget about how our audience perceives the content.

In mid-March (which feels like a decade ago), our world turned upside down. But, we were not alone.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced workers and their companies to re-evaluate a lot of things. How they work, when they work, the best ways to be productive, and just generally how to keep ourselves together. We’re fortunate to not have much experience in dealing with global pandemics, but we’re also fortunate to be equipped with the means and technology to make quick adjustments and keep pushing forward.

NOTE: Like many of you, we’re staying home and preparing for a gradual return to the office environment. We’re offering our regularly scheduled blogging (plus a few special entries) to help you refine and re-evaluate your marketing efforts for whatever comes next.  

You’ve probably heard about the importance of search engine optimization (commonly referred to as SEO).

There’s no shortage of in-depth information available on this topic, but oftentimes, it’s incredibly detailed and not tailored to the “step one” phase. Not everyone is an expert in search marketing or SEO, and it’s an area of marketing that is still new to many.
