How Aquent Markets Freelancers to Marketers [Podcast]
When marketing to marketers, the stakes are high and quality is key. It takes a lot to get a busy marketer’s attention, so when you do, you better be showing them some premium content!
At Aquent, their “products” are freelancers, and they market them directly to other businesses who are looking to add to their marketing teams. In order to be successful, the team at Aquent has learned that they have to take their content to the next level, and push beyond basic messaging about staffing to bigger concepts that are both relevant and entertaining.
Jeff Gangemi, Director of Marketing Communications at Aquent, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss creating content to engage other marketers and the business of being a freelance agency.
