Content calendars can be an excellent tool to plot out your social outreach strategy for creating and sharing content over time. The calendar may include links to existing resources like e-books and white-papers, videos and other downloads. These are easily scheduled in a content calendar and that allows you to see the story you are weaving over a period of time and also step back and see where there are opportunities to create more information or to curate relevant content from other sources.

Millennials are just one demographic in your potential market and you need to think carefully before you focus entire marketing campaigns on them.

NEW YORK—It cracks me up when a client calls and asks me about "this new content marketing thing." Honestly, we're so hung up on buzzwords these days we can't see the forest for the trees!

Twitter. Most of it is just plain common courtesy and some of it is specific to the platform.
