He lives and breathes this stuff.
So, if you’re looking to up your content game- subscribe here for his weekly tips:
A newsletter I always read is Devin Reed's content newsletter. Love this bit from this week's edition:
In a room of 50 marketers, there were generalists and specialists.
You can make a career being either one, and neither is inherently better than the other.
Companies need both.
Knowing where you are and how you want to grow will also help you pick the right role and the right company and the right time.
Let's address the villain in the room 😈
I recently read Devin Reed's Content Strategy Reeder, where he talks of identifying the 'villain' in your business and using it as a guide to your content strategy.
This is key because people are more inclined to unite over something they dislike.
You need a villain (problem) to justify the solution you’re offering.
For example, Amazon Prime's villain is delayed deliveries. 📦
I'd never looked at it this way before!
Oh, and the hero? The hero is ALWAYS your audience/customer. 🦸♀️
Discover Devin Reed's concept of a "value sandwich", and how it can effectively help your business grow. 📈
This short piece also includes practical tips for:
✏️ writing a clear and effective CTA that will really drive action
✏️ purposefully turning micro content (i.e social media posts) into longer, high-value content

Content marketers, do you ever feel like this (I could be alone on this one)?
"That's great advice, but I need more substance!" 😩
In this case, substance means real examples, experiences, and thought-provoking ideas.
I’ve been on a hunt for more substance lately. So, when I received an email yesterday from Devin Reed's newsletter, The Content Strategy Reeder, it was the breath of fresh air I craved!
There was substance! It was…
1. Relevant - The topic centered around content goals and milestones.
2. Engaging - There were real examples of Devin's goals and milestones from 2021. And, there were examples of strategies versus tactics.
3. Actionable - There was a copy/paste 3-step template.
4. Interactive - I was so intrigued by its simplicity I got the sudden urge to fill out the template!
👇 Who do you recommend to follow for substance-filled posts in B2B marketing?
P.S. In the comments section, I added a few other newsletters (substance included) that have helped my B2B marketing journey so far!
Remember yesterday when I was telling all of you that your heroics aren’t celebrated enough? (not offended if you don’t 😏 )
Well… I may have something of interest to them and please share as you see fit. 💥💥
I learned from Devin Reed that best way to promote content is to lead with outcomes and if you aren’t subscribed to The Content Strategy Reeder, go subscribe. He gives you actionable takeaways that can be immediately put into practice. Evidenced below. 👇
Come join us at Casted for our event on November 3rd! You’ll leave with an understanding on how IBM, PayPal, and Caterpillar are using audio and video to transform their marketing strategies and how this approach can be harnessed across a vast array of industries.
…plus you’ll get to hear from Devin and will walk away with a brief history on how you create a category and tips on listening to your audience/placing them first.
If I had to take a shot every time I read the words "optimize", "data-driven" or "low-hanging fruit" – I'd be drunk before my third cup of coffee (usually around 10 AM).
As marketers, it's so easy to get swept up in the hype of buzzwords and overcomplicating simple ideas.
The way forward? To quote Devin Reed "Use simple words and tell simple truths."
But how do you kick the habit?
Electric shocks connected to your keyboard? A treat every time you write an email without a single buzzword? Open to suggestions...
*Rant over*
Content is more influential (and shareable!) than ever before. Anyone can use content to grow their business, build their brand, and catapult their career.
But here’s the thing: You have to know how.
Otherwise you’ll work your ass off for months with little to show for it — and that’s why I created this newsletter: to share what I’ve learned as Gong’s Head of Content Strategy and by advising B2B marketing teams.
If you want to publish outstanding content, then the Content Strategy Reeder is for you. Are you ready?
