Advertising Week in New York took place a couple weeks ago. I went as an evangelist for Catch+Release. My mission was to meet modern marketers and creatives and spread the word about creator content licensing while soaking in everything I could about all the new marketing trends and technologies.

We will explore the strategic value of curation within the marketing ecosystem, learning how a proactive and continuous curation process can lead to deeper audience engagement, enhanced brand narrative, and ultimately, a more compelling marketing campaign.

There’s been an explosion of creator content in recent years. And smart marketing teams are finding it valuable to gather relevant creator content on an ongoing basis. This creative exercise is known as curation. Historically, many marketers have left curation to their creative partners, like a social media manager or social agency. But the act of curation can unearth insights and give you a deeper understanding of your audience. And, honestly, anyone can do it. So we thought it was time to create a class.
