I know, I know.

We just posted a few days ago that there was only one marketing trend you need to know for the year: complex content operations will overtake simple content marketing. And we have a lot to say about how to build a rockstar content operation that you should definitely read.

Don’t misunderstand us—the move to complex content operations is certainly a huge overarching shift to take account for in your yearly planning. But even better is what it means for how your organization approaches all the other trends of 2018.

The beauty of a solid, strategic content operation is that it allows you take advantage of all the trends that pop up. When you have a robust taxonomy, a clear set of processes and workflows, visibility into the content metrics that matter, and a team of collaboration wizards, you have the bandwidth and resources to evaluate which trends might be beneficial to your organization—and which trends are just fads.

So join me and one of my favorite marketers on the planet, Mathew Sweezey of Salesforce, for a webinar on which trends will be the five that marketers need to keep on their radars this year. Mathew’s presentation The Future of Marketing 2018 went viral on LinkedIn over the holidays, so If you sign up for only one webinar this year, make it this one.
