It appears that storytelling is front and centre when it comes to successful content marketing strategies. Speaker Michael Brenner told the audience that content marketers should approach marketing as if it's their job to tell stories that focus on the customer, not the brand. Quoting Ann Handley, Brenner reinforced the advice: “Take your brand out of the story—make your customers the hero.”For the full version, listen to the show on iTunes and SoundCloud.Some key insights from #CMWorld 2015:https://twitter.com/MarkETennant/status/644518752516751360https://twitter.com/haydenaj/status/644301311496876032https://twitter.com/webmastergirl/status/644643521324953601https://twitter.com/webmastergirl/status/644825208751177728Doug Kessler's recommended resources:
