Tom Gerace of Skyword and Judd Bagley of Overstock to Speak at Content Marketing World 2015

Marketing Leaders to Discuss Importance of Brand Storytelling in eCommerce Success

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) September 08, 2015

Tom Gerace, CEO and founder of Skyword and Judd Bagley, Director of Communications at Overstock, will lead a session at Content Marketing World 2015 entitled "How Overstock Creates Stories that Drive eCommerce Success" on September 10 at 1:45 p.m.

Skyword, the leading content marketing platform and services company, will serve as a silver sponsor at the conference and host the opening night party at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

An annual gathering hosted by Content Marketing Institute, Content Marketing World draws nearly 3,000 attendees from all industries to provide insight on how brands can use content to differentiate themselves.

"There are major shifts in how consumers access content and what they expect from those experiences," said Gerace. "Because of that, traditional forms of advertising are getting less effective. Overstock gets that, and the company has committed to telling stories that speak to its audience and pertain to its desires, lifestyles, and major life-events. We're thrilled to be able to share the company's experience at Content Marketing World 2015."

The Skyword team will be available at Booth 45 to discuss how attendees can build brand storytelling into the way they communicate and how its content marketing platform, cited for its "rich functionality" in The Forrester Wave": Content Marketing Platforms, Q2 2015 report, can make the process sustainable.
