Hollywood Branded Announces Inaugural Virtual Content Marketing Summit
I'm proud to share that we have launched a new division at Hollywood Branded, the Marketer's Content Playbook, centered on expanding our footprint in educational growth for entrepreneurs, brands and agency marketers. We've designed the conference to provide brand marketers and agencies with the tools to create more effective and impactful marketing content. We've even made admission free to attend.

The 3-day event lineup includes over 100 thought leaders from the world of brands, agencies, media, influencers and Hollywood who will provide insights to recharge brand marketers and help them better address today’s difficult marketing climate during this global pandemic as well as how to participate in conversations during this powerful time of social reform.

In this blog, learn more from Hollywood Branded about why you as an entrepreneur, agency and brand marketer, or marketing student need to attend this massive yearly virtual event!
Why A Summit On Content Marketing
This virtual summit grew into reality over the last three years from my interviewing hundreds of business and marketing thought leaders on our agency’s podcast, Marketing Mistakes (+ How To Avoid Them). The event was built around the idea of providing marketing solutions driven by entrepreneurs and business professionals who are asking the same questions: Will my business still be here in a year? How do I safeguard my job, show I make a difference and really demonstrate my value? We’ve built a giant platform to bring together thought leaders, entrepreneurs, brand marketers and even college students.
The goals for all summit participants is to allow each to be able to leverage this moment of time, where life is still not back to normal, to stretch themselves, to gain more knowledge, to see what updated marketing practices others are doing, and better understand the tactics that are driving sales and making other companies millions. Most importantly, we wanted to provide this event for free, so that thousands of people can benefit – to help others stay in business or keep their jobs. We also wanted to give brand marketers the tools to recover faster from the hits and help students fill in the gaps left by their current limited resources to internships. (yes a personal quote from me).

Content Marketing Works For Us - And It Can Work For Your Brand Too
Content marketing works. And at Hollywood Branded, we have experienced the power of what content marketing has done for our own growth, driven from our blogs, podcast, online classes, and workshops. Content marketing is directly responsible for bringing in MILLIONS of dollars to our agency. It has allowed us to establish an expertise at a level so high, that clients come to us already familiar with our agency, and ready to buy. It has changed the sales game. Daily, our sales team gets inbound new business calls set up not from pounding the pavement and dialing for dollars – but from having generated thought leadership and expertise all powered through the content we create and share.
Content marketing is what has made our agency's ceo & founder, Stacy Jones, a go-to source for major media outlets like Forbes, The New York Times, Bloomberg, WWW, Financial Times, Instyle and other familiar names all over the world, where she is interviewed on topics ranging across product placement integration, influencer marketing, celebrity endorsements and branding.
Content marketing is the reason why our agency went viral last summer when Stacy spoke with first one, then dozens more of media outlets about that coffee cup in Game of Thrones. In fact, thanks to those interviews, Hollywood Branded's name was featured by over 1,000 media outlets and received over 4 BILLION impressions – a value in the PR world of over $68 million dollars. And yes, it immediately drove sales and opened new doors for our agency.
