Description

All companies, no matter what industry they are in, or what product or service they create, do four basic things. Offer something for sale, sell it, collect the money for it, and create content about what they do. Product development, Marketing, Sales and Finance are all recognized as essential to the organization and are often reflected by VP or CXO level responsibility, yet a company’s content, which contains all of its intellectual property, is often overlooked. Whether they realize it or not every company’s secondary role is that of being a publisher.
