How to Manage Your Best Content More Strategically
Successful content management means being intentional about its presentation. Here are some ideas from the recent AM&P Lunch & Learn on how to be more strategic in disseminating your best content. Rick Pullen, editor in chief of The Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers’ Leader’s Edge magazine, was the opening speaker at AM&P’s February 24, 2015 Lunch & Learn in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.
