Updates from Content Marketing World 2013

CLEVELAND, Sept. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by the infinite supply of content that is competing for a finite amount of audience attention, emerging themes from Content Marketing World this year include an emphasis on incorporating visuals into communications and promoting content post-publication. Our onsite team is live-blogging most of the sessions, and you can find all of their posts here:  http://blog.prnewswire.com/tag/cmworld13/ .  Highlights from yesterday include:
