Long-form content is not dead. If I had a euro for every time I heard this, well I wouldn’t be presenting this show! But I am and I am here to convince you that long-form content is alive and well and in fact should be front and centre of your digital marketing strategy.
Content is the sweet spot between your goals and a citizen's need.
Content is the bridge that builds public trust.
Content is the reason that citizens act embrace the policy and legislative changes.
Content is king and long-form content is queen!

- > Why I recommend long-form content every time for my clients
- > I interview Allan Mulrooney, Head of Communications at the Western Development Commission about their long-form content marketing strategy

So come with me on this content journey for the next 40 minutes and be inspired to create better and more conversational content with the citizen in mind.

Joanne’s Column
It’s time you gave your citizens a reason to listen
Often public sector pros ask me how to develop a digital marketing strategy that serves their organisation's goals. More often than not, I'll ask them to focus time thinking about a content plan - the who, what, why, where, when, and how of their story.
In this week's column I share my thoughts on why if you're not giving your citizens a reason to listen, then they'll scroll on by.

Why I recommend long-form content every time for my clients
Content marketing with a focus on long-form content is a long-term strategy but it needn't take up your entire working week. Social media can steal our focus on long-form content as it is easier and quicker to produce and publish. However, we must remember that the Internet is made up of two parts - Search + Social - and long-form content really feeds our search marketing needs.
