A coffee with the CMA: Kathryn Strachan

This week I was delighted to have founder and CEO of IMPRINT, Andy Seibert join me  for a coffee. Andy and his team have featured in a number of our webinars over the past year, so it was great to sit down and chat content marketing. Andy talked me through  how Global Voices began and the aim of bringing different communities together from across the world. Andy recently spent time at Content Marketing World in Cleveland, so was interested to hear what he had to say about the trends that came from the event.
