Our week at Kuno Creative began with a simple challenge: to not only continually increase the content we’re producing for our clients and our brand, but to focus on making that copy more attention-grabbing and persuasive. The blog contributors took the challenge to heart, carefully crafting eight engaging and informative blogs.
From a list touting gifts inbound marketers are secretly hoping to see poking from their stockings to a post explaining how Google’s AuthorRank will affect company blogs, the Brand & Capture blog proved to be an engrossing portal for inbound marketers. Read on for a snipit of a few of this week’s posts, or check out a full list of our blog posts here.

But the relationship between advertising and marketing is much more subtle. Marketing is advertising, and marketers are Madmen, pure and simple. Discover the similarities for yourself!
We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Some people in marketing may think their strengths lie in their marketing skills, but would readily admit sales skills fall into their weakness category. Why? Most likely they do not like public speaking. But the truth is, from content marketers to consultants and vice presidents to CEOs, everyone should be selling services on some level to keep the agency profitable, even if it is simply selling the company image. Don’t sweat it if public speaking isn’t your thing! We’ve got seven tips for you!

By now, it's commonly accepted that blogging is one of the most important ways to generate traffic on your website. Google algorithm changes have made it necessary to create quality content frequently and consistently in order to compete in the new world of SEO. But as happens often these days, things are changing once again. This time, it's not just the content that matters, though. With Google's AuthorRank, you matter, too. Learn Google’s new rules for better search rank.
Inbound marketers can see that writing at least five blog posts per week leads to higher traffic and leads, but outsourcing to “blog farms” leads to a decline in readership and shares. How do we find a good balance between quality and quantity that sustains our growth without diluting our content product? Here are some things to think about.
We'll be ready for you again next week with more great content. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon!
