You’ve heard the stats before. We’re exposed to over 5,000 marketing messages a day. We have the attention span of a goldfish. We get lost in TikTok and often can’t find our way out. And you wonder why your banner ad isn’t getting clicks? Why you can't prove the effectiveness of your outdoor ad? It is increasingly difficult to defend the dollars spent in tactical marketing when you aren’t quite sure of the ROI. There has to be a better way.

Enter Content Marketing. Simply defined, Content Marketing is a strategic marketing approach designed to garner brand attention by focusing on the creation & distribution of relevant and interesting content aimed at attracting and retaining a defined audience. It’s about the pull vs. the push. Or in other words, content marketing is the stuff people want to see, not have to see.

Content Marketing is not new. But it is more important than ever before. If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that brands must find new ways of connecting to consumers in authentic and compelling ways.

Robin Whalen
President & CEO of Church+State

As an agency veteran, digital and direct marketing have been a professional passion of Robin’s for over 20 years. Perhaps her love of ‘accountability’ stemmed from her roots as a U of T graduate with a degree in Legal Ethics. Regardless of where it came from – Robin landed her first agency job in the Integrated Marketing Services division of Leo Burnett and has been hooked in the world of communications and agency management ever since.

Over the past 2 decades, Robin has held a variety of senior management roles at some of the largest advertising networks in the world. Robin has also worked closely with the Canadian Marketing Association for the past 20 years. Originally as the chair of the Direct Marketing Council, Robin has also chaired the Digital Marketing Council, sat on their Board of Directors, and currently teaches their Digital Marketing Course. Most recently, Robin has acted as a Senior Judge for the Annual CMA Awards Show and is a member of the Awards Strategic Advisory Committee.

When she’s not leading clients through business planning and brand activations, you can find her sourcing babysitters to pave the way for future travel expectations and shopping excursions.
