Junta42 Founder Joe Pulizzi to Speak at Publishing Business Conference & Expo

Junta42 founder and chief content officer Joe Pulizzi will speak to magazine and book publishing professionals about the opportunities in custom publishing, and what they need to do to be successful offering these types of solutions to marketing professionals.

New York, NY (March 6, 2008) --When book and magazine publishing executives converge on New York City for the must-attend Publishing Executive Publishing Business Conference & Expo next week, Joe Pulizzi will be on hand to help them navigate the brave new world of custom content. Pulizzi will share his thoughts on creating effective custom content that cuts through marketing clutter in a session entitled, "Businesses Are Becoming Publishers: How Traditional Publishers Can Profit from This Trend."

During his session, Pulizzi will look at the wide range of businesses that are discovering the benefits of custom publishing--and creating custom content that includes new magazines, content-based Web sites, e-newsletters, virtual trade shows, social media communities and more--and consider what the implications are for traditional publishers. More importantly, he will offer those same traditional publishers insight into creating a strategy that will allow them to benefit from this trend.

"There is a sense that with all this great custom content out there, traditional media--in the form of books and magazines--are slowly being edged out of the picture," said Pulizzi. "But that's just not the case. In fact, consumers are starved for great content, and old-guard publishers simply need to understand that there is plenty of room for them in the new marketplace. No one is better equipped to create successful custom publishing divisions than traditional media--they just need to learn how."
