As consumers increasingly turn to AI for searches and answers to questions, content strategies need to evolve. Today’s search queries aren’t a string of keywords. They are conversational. 

According to Dave Minifie, marketers need a deep understanding of consumer intent, conversational engagement and AI-friendly content strategies to succeed in this era. 

Also, the curious case of the sales engagement platforms that disappeared from LinkedIn got more curiouser when one of the first sites to write about it removed its story. 

Finally, today is two weeks until our free, online MarTech Conference kicks off. See the agenda and get your free pass.
