If you’re looking for ways to combine the insights of data with content creation and marketing, pull up a chair and listen to Karen Budell.

It requires research, data-crunching, talking to experts and, above all, listening, she says in a Ragan Training session, “Give Content More Momentum—and Measure the Impact.” It is the second of a two-part session, “Master New SEO and Content Trends.” (Read more about the first session here.)

“In short, we’re really looking to figure out how to create the right content for the right person, and get it to them at that right time,” Budell says.
