PRAISE FOR EPIC CONTENT MARKETING
"From the man who invented content marketing. Listen to this guy. He really understands the new world of marketing. The concepts in Epic Content Marketing are usable all over the world--instantly usable and useful for any business." -- Don Schultz, the "father of integrated marketing," Professor Emeritus at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, and author of 13 books
"Joe Pulizzi's ideas are so consistently . . . well, epic (!) that they really don't need any endorsement by anyone. But here’s mine anyway: You don't need MORE content. You need the right kind of content, strategically applied. For those organizations struggling to create a content marketing program that drives results, Joe delivers. Again." -- Ann Handley, coauthor of Content Rules and Chief Content Officer, MarketingProfs
"As Joe shows us in his wonderful Epic Content Marketing, you must unlearn interrupting people with your nonsense. Instead, publish the valuable content they want to consume and are eager to share." -- David Meerman Scott, marketing strategist and bestselling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR
"This is a brilliant canter through the rapid and ever-changing world of content marketing. Joe has managed to capture the right blend of art and science as he plots the major trends impacting all marketers right now." -- Jonathan Mildenhall, VP, Global Advertising Strategy and Creative Excellence, Coca-Cola Company

If you truly want to be successful at content marketing, Pulizzi is one of the few who can show you the way." -- Mitch Joel, President, Twist Image, and author of Six Pixels of Separation and CTRL ALT Delete
“Joe Pulizzi may know more about content marketing than any person alive. He proves it in these pages." -- Jay Baer, New York Times bestselling author of Youtility: Why Smart Marketing is About Help Not Hype
