Why winning Content Marketing Agency of the Year matters
The email to the V team was a long, gushy, sweary thing that I won’t share with you here (or, let’s face it, anywhere else). But this little chunk of it will give you a sense of why we’re so happy about this thing (warning: may — probably will — contain language of an adult-if-not-exactly-mature nature):How to get Content Marketing Agency of the Year into another subhead.
We now have 360-ish days to milk every last drop of glory (and SEO juice) out of this sucker. If you’re looking for humility and subtlety and good sportsmanship and all that… you’re in the wrong place. We’re moving to one of the Trump-branded buildings in Gloat City and we plan to ENJOY it. (Except for the insufferable tackiness of the décor… goes with the brand). Actually, maybe a bit of Federer-ness wouldn’t be such a bad idea here: we only knew two of our fellow shortlisted agencies and they’re both really, really impressive:TLDR: Woo-hoo!
Man, I could get used to this.Photo credit: Wetzler’s Studios & Content Marketing Institute

I love how you were so gracious, immediately after you said you wouldn’t be. Very Doug-wardian. So happy for you and the team. You should be very proud!
Doug Kessler September 14th, 2016
Thanks Mike — the old false humility trick!
Lydia Cockerham Skeleton September 15th, 2016
Congrats guys! Very very well deserved. Now you milk that glory.
Doug Kessler September 20th, 2016
Thanks Lydia — we’re milking as hard as we can!

Just love the humour that this is written in … It just 100% amazingly authentic Doug speaking style. Makes me smile. Congratulations team 🙂 Milk It! Work It! & Own It!
Doug Kessler September 20th, 2016
Thanks Carolee-Ann! Much appreciated.

I nominated you Content Marketing Fellows of the year long before you guys even knew about these kind of events. And i can testify you’ve been deserving this since 2009, and that’s not, only, because Stan had a M3. That’s because you had one too, in your mind.
Here’s the category you guys should be organizing events about. “The fucking good client of the year”. Didn’t you just say you only do great things for good clients? We’ll take you on this. Congrats folks.
Doug Kessler September 20th, 2016
Thanks! What a great idea….
Paul Hewerdine Earnest September 16th, 2016
Big congrats Doug. Just don’t do the double at the B2B awards 😉
Doug Kessler September 20th, 2016
We’ll try… (And thanks!).

Doug, hats off to you and the Velocity Partners troupe! You’re like the Viagra of B2B Content Marketing — don’t know how you do it, but keep it up! I now nominate you and Tim Washer to launch the B2B Content Marketing stand-up comedy tour. Or perhaps your own Make-a-Wish foundation, bringing a smile to the faces of those in need: B2B orgs that still don’t “get it” and are about to pull the plug on their failing content marketing programs. Speaking of nominations…please hightail it back across the pond with your Velocity Partners to take over the Clinton campaign and save us all from the biggest, scariest clown of all. You’ve got what it takes to win over Trump’s adoring fans: you are anything but business as usual, drop the f-bomb with abandon, and — as far as I’m aware — have yet to share your full medical records or develop a well-considered foreign policy.
Doug Kessler September 20th, 2016
Thanks Stephanie!
My medical records are a matter of public record as are my tax returns. Both show signs of flatlining.
Rayna Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street September 16th, 2016
FUCK YEAH. I dig, Doug. And I dig Doug. Kisses for all.
Doug Kessler September 20th, 2016
Thanks Rayna!
Hugs back.
