But, there’s a catch.
Now, don’t get us wrong: this is going to fun and exciting, but it’s, also, going to be work, a lot of work. This event won’t be like all of the other events you’ve been to where you hear a lot of great speakers, take lots of notes, get super excited, and then go back to work and do nothing. Instead, we’re going to dig-in and get real work done. And we’re not talking about theoretical, pie-in-the-sky kind of exercises. We’re talking about building a content marketing plan that you can take action on the very next work day. For this reason, you must be ready to take action in order to attend this workshop!
Best of all, you’re guaranteed to get tons of value.
We’re confident that this will be the absolute best two days you’ll spend on developing a content marketing program that delivers consistent, measurable results. In fact, if at the end of the bootcamp, you feel you’ve wasted your time, we’ll refund your investment.
Imagine that. Two action-packed days in sunny San Diego with up to 49 driven content marketers, where you’re guaranteed to walk away with a strategic content marketing plan for your organization.
It doesn’t get any better than that!
Don’t hesitate — space is limited.
Because of the need to work closely with every participant, we must limit the size of the bootcamp to absolutely no more than 50 participants. This means that seats will fill fast and we will sell out. Don’t hesitate — register today!

Recap
Based on early feedback, our first-ever Content Marketing Bootcamp was an unqualified success! Over the course of two days at greenACRE in UTC, attendees got a heavy dose of content marketing goodness. The group benefited not only from the expertise of our two moderators, Elevator’s Frank Cowell and Hubspot’s Dan Vivian, but also from a series of hands-on activities and discussions with peers.
Among the many highlights of the workshop, attendees learned how to:
- Think about the customer journey, from awareness to consideration to decision
- Focus their marketing around emotional concepts instead of “things”
- Establish an editorial mission by completing the sentence, “Our marketing exists to ________”
- Calculate a maximum cost per customer acquisition (COCA)
- Develop generate powerful value statements for their specific buyer personas
- Create the framework for a sample campaign
- Take advantage of robust marketing automation tools
Special thanks to Frank, Dan and all our attendees for making this a fantastic learning and networking experience. Let’s do it again!
