Workshop: Content Strategy 101

Start the day with a hands-on Content Strategy workshop, led by Kristina Halvorson, the CEO and founder of Brain Traffic, a world-renowned content strategy consultancy. Kristina is one of the most recognized and important voices in content strategy.

Kristina’s workshop, Content Strategy 101: Start Here is a great learning opportunity and is sure to sell out quickly.

Web content is hard, complicated, expensive, time-consuming, and often overwhelming. And though it’s why people come to your website, it’s the #1 killer of a good user experience.

This workshop will help you produce better, more effective, more manageable web content.
