Screenshot of conference presenters for The Content MarketeerThe second and final day of the 2012 Content Marketing Strategies Conference was packed with presentations from industry leaders representing major organizations, such as Cisco, Ogilvy PR, Intel, SAS, and more.

As with Day 1 of the conference, we scoured the #contentnow Twitter hashtag feed for some of its most helpful content to keep these great ideas top-of-mind now that the conference has adjourned.

We’re divvying it up into three posts, the first of which is a culmination of tweets (below) that include savvy tips and thoughts from talks by Intel’s Jennifer Lashua, SAS’s Alison Bolen, Aegis Media’s Nigel Morris, and Ogilvy’s Luca Penati.

Our subsequent posts from the conference will include a roundup of fun visual “notes” from Clynton Taylor, marketing director at Jump Associates, and a more detailed look at the presentation from Cisco’s Heather Meza.
