Content Marketing World has convinced me that big data will change the way content is written. Fortunately for ASJA members who are flexible, there is still plenty of work available. Being someone who pivots between traditional journalism and customized content, I’m feeling a need for balance. Having just returned from CMW, I witnessed both a dire need for writers specializing in tech — congratulations to tech writers here — and an astonishing realization that the future is now. There are digital companies clearly trying to replace the creative process of writing. And they have analytics and experts presenting on panels that will convince larger corporations, that there is absolutely no need for creativity in the writing of their brands’ stories.

Content is still king. No matter how many times you hear that phrase, it’ll still ring true.
Content can persuade people on an issue and it can help people avoid big mistakes. As long as it’s effective.
Regardless of the type of content you write, it’s important to write it well, make it reader-friendly. You don’t write for search engines, you write for people who use them to find your business.
You need to give your readers interesting, engaging, and fun material. And you want them to read all of your text, not just the headlines. And to make this happen you’ll need to understand how to humanize your content.

The Content Standard by Skyword
