Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Flipboard 0 For PR and marketing pros, the New Year symbolizes unknown changes in technology and audience behavior that are inevitably to come. Conquering the challenges that arise from unexpected change is both an exciting and nerve-wracking feeling. Some of the obstacles we faced in 2014 included defining the right goals, producing enough content to accommodate the buyer’s journey, and sufficiently measuring progress. As content continues to grow in importance for generating awarness, earning media attention, and boosting sales, embracing change will be the difference between success and failure. To kick off the New Year with some inspiration, we asked industry thought leaders to share their PR and marketing resolutions for 2015. Their answers revealed that PR and marketing are not just embracing change, but also the opportunities that come with it: @sramloch To move more press release content from marketing brochures to news stories.
