How to Create Content that Generates Exposure, Loyalty and Sales
Good content strengthens relationships with your customers. “If you hit the right emotional buttons, your content allows people to engage, to trust you and to want to talk with you,” writes Cheryl Snapp Conner, CEO of SnappConner PR. Trust and engagement—isn’t that what we desire from prospects and current customers?
Some people hesitate to create content because they don’t understand the payoff for the investment. A great article will likely include research and several edits, but as Snapp Conner points out, “When it’s complete, you can break the 1,000 words into a series of tweets. You can do a short video on the topic. Even better, embed the video into the article. Talk about the theme on a podcast.” One piece of content can work hard for you, building trust and creating engagement in multiple arenas.
Read “How to Create Content that Generates Exposure, Loyalty and Sales” for more tips from Snapp Conner, as well as insights from Jeremy Knauff, CEO of Spartan Media. Together they offer fresh perspectives on why your business needs to provide content as part of its marketing campaign.

Why Your Elevator Pitch Isn’t Working
The easy part is remembering what an elevator pitch is: a short, catchy way to describe your business when you don’t have time to elaborate details (as in an elevator ride). The difficult part is knowing how to deliver one. This article highlights a few aspects that can go wrong with your elevator pitch, along with solutions to make sure that in your short window of time, you’re communicating an intentional message.
For example, author Anna Johansson writes that too often the “bottom line” of a pitch isn’t apparent, and though it will vary depending on your audience, it should also be clear what it is: “For investors, it’s either profitability or longevity. For clients, it’s often a proposed solution to a real problem.” As Johansson states, you must know who you’re talking with—and adjust your pitch accordingly. Easy to understand, harder to do. She provides good tips on how to create, polish, and tweak a distinctive elevator pitch

Not long ago, the main way that major research institutes obtained the computing power they needed for new or ongoing projects was to invest in computing infrastructure, which required significant upfront investments and led to ongoing IT costs to keep the research going.
By switching to cloud computing, research organizations have discovered that they can increase their computing performance without investing in new physical servers or on-site infrastructure. The benefits of the transition are obvious: faster publication times, substantially faster data analysis, significantly lower IT spending, and increased collaboration among researchers, all thanks to improved data sharing and security.

ANU Large data sets and small budgets
Large upfront costs can severely limit the scope and scalability of important projects. With major research institutes that work on projects where substantial volumes of data need to be analyzed, the investment in computing infrastructure for data processing can be a major concern. They need a solution that can ensure the proper scalability of research projects and eliminate the inefficiencies of having to constantly update, upgrade, or downscale on-site servers to address the data needs of specific projects. Fortunately, cloud computing is having an enormous impact on how research is done across the globe.
