What the F@#k is Happening to Content Marketing?

Hour long virtual sessions on Tuesday, July 16, at 1 PM ET or Wednesday, August 14, at 12 PM ET

You're Content marketing is changing—fast. Google is rewriting the rules, AI-generated content is everywhere, and once-reliable strategies are falling flat. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or just straight-up panicked—you’re not alone.

This event is a no-fluff reality check on what’s really going on in content marketing. Amanda Pressner Kreuser and Julie Hochheiser Ilkovich, co-founders of Masthead, a content experience & marketing agency, will break down the most important trends and disruptions shaking up the industry. 

Amanda and Julie will dig into the rise of AI Overviews (AIOs), the latest Google algorithmic changes, and how AI-optimized content is flooding search and reshaping the way we work. 

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of the shifts happening beneath our feet—and what they mean for your career, your content, and your team.

Expect a few uncomfortable truths, key industry trend insights, and most importantly, guidance on how to adapt. Yes, the landscape is shifting. But we’re here to help you stay grounded, informed, and ready to evolve.

This conversation is too important to have just once—so we’re offering two chances to attend. Join us on Tuesday, July 16, at 1 PM ET or Wednesday, August 14, at 12 PM ET and be part of the conversation that every content marketer should be having right now.
