One thing that many of us have in common is that we did not start our careers in content marketing but rather arrived here from many different paths, whether it be marketing, journalism, public relations and much more. And, as this discipline evolves, so too will our careers. Erika Heald joined us for our recent #CMWorld Twitter chat around professional development.
Our Content Marketing Career Center launched recently, and both job listings and career tips and advice. Visit today to continue to develop your content marketing career.
