As marketing content becomes more complex – touching various systems, translated into multiple languages, published across all kinds of channels – managing and maintaining it does, too. Although technologies, such as content hubs, do much to organize, store, and help direct the flow of your content, the human part of content creation and management still needs to be handled.

In another post, I briefly discuss what content governance is and why it’s important.
