Introduction to CMI University
About the Course
The program is a culmination of more than a decade of research work, personal experiences in deploying both successful and failed, quite honestly, content driven marketing strategies for businesses of all sizes. Companies who have purposely devised a differentiating content marketing strategy have designed, implemented, and measured a content marketing approach based on learning best practices. They have built brand and marketing programs around the idea of developing valuable content and operating like a media company, helping them to diversify their ability to consistently reach their consumers.
About the Instructor
Robert Rose
Chief Content Advisor, Content Marketing Institute
Robert Rose is the chief troublemaker at Seventh Bear, where he helps marketing teams break free from stale routines, rediscover their creativity, and make an impact that actually matters. He’s been called a strategist, an innovator, and—by at least one former boss—“a dangerous amount of fun.”
Since 2010, Robert has served as the Chief Strategy Advisor at the Content Marketing Institute, where he helped shape it into the world’s leading content marketing education and training organization. Over the past decade, he’s worked with more than 500 teams — from Salesforce and SAP to Roche, Capital Group, and Adidas — helping them balance the art and science of modern marketing.
He’s the author of several books on marketing and creativity, including his latest, Valuable Friction: How to Deliberately Stand Out in a World Obsessed with Speed. And Robert’s master class is the American Marketing Associations’ certification course for Content Marketing Strategy.
