More small businesses will work with journalists, writers and editors as they move from a product-focused to a customer-focused message, says Joe Pulizzi, founder of the Content Marketing Institute, which is launching a platform aimed at helping entrepreneurs and startups with content marketing needs. “As more content creators lose their job with traditional media companies,” he says, “this will present a clear opportunity for smaller companies to work with expert talent in particular industry niches.”
