Last week’s Content Marketing World 2011 in Cleveland, Ohio, looks to have been another great content conference. We would have loved to attend and meet with our friend the organiser, Joe Pulizzi (pictured left). But we’ve had to be content with catching up on some of the many inspiring links that came out of the conference. Here’s our pick of the best…

1. Conference videos – CMWorld 2011 interviews and videos are being uploaded over the next few days and weeks onto the Content Marketing Institute’s YouTube channel.

2. Content marketing inspiration from Kevin Smith – tips from the Hollywood actor and director.

3. Content Marketing World: Updates from around the web – blog conversation and conference notes written by attendees.

4. How to prepare for a career in content marketing – being content and communications recruiters, we particularly liked this one.

5. How to fast-track your career with content marketing – we also liked this one, featuring five more career-boosting tips.

6. How to create a great infographic – infographics in 15 minutes.

7. 5 shotgun content marketing sessions recapped – highlights from five guest ‘shotgun’ speakers, including content curation techniques and ‘helping as the new selling’.

8. How to get your content found: tips from Content Marketing World – a popular post on what happens (and what you can do) after you create the content.

9. Three key Content Marketing World takeaways – and a call to action.

10. A chat with Joe Pulizzi of Junta42 – background on content marketing and Content Marketing World International.

Firehead are proud supporters of Junta42′s Content Marketing Institute. The next big conference on our agenda is Technical Communication UK (TCUK) which takes place next week in the UK. We’re extra-excited because Firehead will be flying in to co-present a content strategy case study from the European trenches – full story here.
