Just when it looks like I can‘t possibly write anything else about AI, I arrive with another blog post on the subject.

Over the past five years, I’ve been creating content for some of the most successful content-first brands. And if there's one thing that all their content marketing strategies have in common, it is a solid content gap analysis.

As a marketer and pop-culture fanatic, I am fascinated by celebrity marketing. I love seeing a new ad or social media campaign featuring the biggest pop stars and actors and observing how their brand aligns (or doesn't) with the company they endorse.

Zoom backgrounds have been my lifesaver since I started scheduling remote meetings. With these backgrounds, my video stays on, and I don’t have to worry if my living room is a mess.

By mid-December, my Instagram feed is overflowing with my friends' Spotify Wrapped playlists.

It’s hard to ignore the fact that video is now a leading trend for marketing teams. I mean, even LinkedIn has jumped on the bandwagon by prioritizing video content (now, whether or not you agree with that, it is a conversation for another day, but I digress).

Over the past three years, I’ve written over 200 marketing content pieces from blog posts to guides to landing pages. Over that time, I’ve witnessed more and more brands investing not just in new content, but in content optimization.

In the early days of my career as a content marketer, I wish I had access to the meeting agenda examples to have today. Back then, I was managing a team that was fairly new to me, and I hated the idea of conducting meetings.

Faced with an urgent need to brush up my spreadsheet skills, I went online and searched for the best Excel resources available. I discovered a lot of amazing options, both free and paid.

“Teamwork makes the dream work,” is one of my favorite teamwork quotes. Seriously, I’ve said this quote in the office and on Zoom. I’ve even set it as my Slack status. Turns out John C. Maxwell said it in 2002.

It’s officially the holiday season. If the majority of your workforce is hybrid or remote, like we are at HubSpot, that means it’s time to come up with a few virtual holiday party ideas for your team.

Ok, this has to be one of the most meta projects I’ve worked on: a piece of digital content about digital content — but, hey, it’s an important one.

Many years ago, as a new online business owner, content cadence was tough for me to understand. I didn’t know how many blog posts per week were ideal or the best posting cadence for social media. But today, that’s no longer the case.

If you're sipping an oat milk latte as you read this, you're in luck.

Of all the real or AI-generated rounds so far, this one’s the toughest yet — I challenge you again to spot AI-generated content and select human-made pieces.
