A lack of internal support
When I worked in an agency I always had internal support from my team, even with the worst clients imaginable.
Then I moved to Fidelity, a large company where our clients were our superiors. I learned to hate and fear the phrase “we know it’s a problem, but we don’t want you to focus on it.”

There is a solution!
I lost faith, and I lost interest in my work for
months. When I awoke from my stupor, it
was thanks to a conference, a book, and a
plan.
Now I want to save other content strategists
from getting lost in the big pond.

Learn from my mistakes
In this session, attendees will learn:
How to make a “content problem” into a
“company problem.”
How to walk the fine line between useless
gossip and necessary rabble rousing.
How to recognize when process is helpful,
and when it’s harmful – and how to fix it.
