How to Create a Content Brand with John Bonini

All brands publish content, but there are those brands that publish content that’s so good and so helpful that it builds its own tribe of loyal followers. People that follow and share the content and recommend the products or services, without necessarily having purchased or used it themselves. The content is so convincing that they don’t need to! Can you think of any brands that produce content like that?  

John Bonini, founder of Some Good Content, calls these ‘content brands’ and in this episode of The Content 10x Podcast he joins host Amy Woods to dive deeper into what elements work together to create a content brand, and why optimizing for algorithms is not a long-term win.  

John is highly regarded in the world of B2B marketing, specifically in the SaaS space. He was Head of Marketing at Databox until August 2023, and he’s now struck out on his own as a consultant helping B2B SaaS companies establish and grow their content brand.
