Gotta admit. I have a content crush on you. Every single piece you do is a masterpiece of design and messaging. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air in the smog of BS content

I read this from a small town in Argentina, and i cry because this site is only written in English, and i think: wow, so much (spanish) people should read this content. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Doug – this is refreshing to hear and I couldn’t agree more, because we actually do spend a lot of time creating ‘sales content’ for our clients. The content revolution has taught us that we have to start with the problem, not the product. With the customer, not us. (Actually, we always knew this – but our clients finally get it now.)
But my question is, can you still define this as ‘content’? Or is it simply a better way to write the sales copy (pitch decks, presentations, emails, proposals) we’ve always created? Would love to hear about any great content examples that you’ve seen.

Thanks, Sara.
Well, I still call it content. But I’ve always felt that there’s no clear line between promotional content and ‘helpful’ content. If you believe in your products, then promoting them IS helpful!You might like the blog post, “Can we promote products again?”
