Many companies are totally revitalizing their brands through unleashing killer content marketing strategies, but like a professional athlete, if you want to develop that killer content instinct and intuition you need to train, implement, and measure your result’s.

Content curation is a potent weapon to master and use. Your job, like that of a museum curator, is to unearth the best content on the planet in your niche, so that your museum doesn’t close down for a lack of visitors.

Many companies are allocating more time and resources to developing a great plan for content curation, in recent surveys, companies say the biggest road block they face is coming up with enough content which contains enough value to be effective. This is also why more and more content marketing agencies are popping up, but the good ones are hard to come by.

The 6 Lifelong Laws of Content Marketing for Agencies

Speaking from two decades of personal experience, and currently advising 10 agencies, I can state unequivocally that the agency life is not a 9-5 gig. Hours spent working at an agency can ebb and flow like Oprah’s dress size, and work weeks of 50-60 hours or more are not uncommon. But, even within the “whatever it takes” atmosphere that is forever attached to the agency business like a barnacle, you can only push people for so hard, for so long.
