‘Content marketing’ is unquestionably a hot topic; so what is it all about and what does it mean for nonprofits? Is content marketing just another trendy term, a truly a new way of doing things or something in between?

At the Nonprofit Technology Conference in April, I sat down with Kivi Leroux Miller, nonprofit marketing expert, author and president at Nonprofit Marketing Guide.com to capture her thoughts on video. Kivi answers my questions about content marketing and makes specific recommendations about how nonprofits can get organized and get started with content marketing.

“Content marketing is a real mind shift in how you approach the content you create at a nonprofit.” – Kivi Leroux Miller

Finally, Kivi mentioned her new book, Content Marketing for Nonprofits, which comes out in August and is available for preorder. And in case you missed it, the book will also soon have a companion website.
