The field of “content marketing” has boomed in recent years. Consequently, there’s a plethora of great, easily digestible (albeit brand-driven) company content out there.
Sharing a list of some really good e-books below. (P.S. if any companies/brands object to having direct links listed, please ping me. My intent here is not to drive referrals for your business. But I welcome readers to reach out to the creating company if they are interested).
