About this event
Creating robust and meaningful marketing and communication strategies that cater specifically to the needs of your members is important for associations. But, identifying the needs of your members and the best tactics for conveying your message can be daunting. Join our industry experts in this discussion to learn new strategies and thought processes when developing association-centered content.
Colby is a digital publishing veteran with 20 years of experience in the association space. He’s a journalist turned marketer and understands the importance of good, strategic content and its place within an association-centric marketing funnel. He founded Association Briefings in 2020 as the association community was forced to find new, cost-effective ways to market and communicate to members and the industries they served. Today, he guides the company’s overall strategic, editorial, and technical direction and brings freshness and clarity to an industry of products and services where commercialization has often outweighed quality and engagement.
Colby resides in Mansfield, Texas, with his wife and three kids. He’s an avid baseball and football fan and keeps his fingers crossed every year that his Texas Rangers will win the World Series. And so far, he's been highly disappointed.
