6 Ways to Integrate Great Content Curation into Your Marketing Mix Today

Image
If you're in advertising or marketing, you might have heard the term "Content Curation" thrown about quite a bit over the last year or so. For those afraid to ask, content curation is the continual process of finding, reading, contextualizing and sharing of online content for a specific audience. For most marketing professionals, this will include clients (current and potential), colleagues, peers, vendors and those who are interested in the field. For those of us who share links on our Facebook or LinkedIn profiles, retweeting insights via Twitter or pinning images on Pinterest, we are already engaged in content curation. In this case, our friends and associates are our audience, and by sharing content that we believe would resonate and add value to the conversation, in many ways we are defining aspects of our personal brand to them.

The restoration of Fire Station No. 6 continues to be in the spotlight as longtime preservation writer Betty Chapman profiled Axiom's home base for the Houston Business Journal's June 29-July 5 issue. During Ms. Chapman's tour of the building, she was impressed with the attention of detail that went into the restoration, from the replacement and matching of 100-year-old Cedar Bayou bricks and pinewood flooring, to the execution of a modern office layout within the station's original space and annex. Her article focused on the historical significance of the building, which opened in 1903 as home to Houston firefighters until 1931. The HBJ article also became another marker in highlighting a building that resonates throughout the city. "Axiom's pride in Houston's past and success in reclaiming that past for a 21st century application are clearly displayed today at 1702 Washington Ave.," Ms. Chapman wrote.
