DESCRIPTION
This was a presentation I held for a group of executives at West Sweden Chamber of Commerce. A couple of slides are in Swedish, but most of it is in English. The presentation has a focus on online content driving sales (content marketing). I also touch on the trend of the increasing number of visitors that are using smartphones and tablets when surfing the web. I also emphasize the need of a clear strategy, to achieve the desired results.
