Bestselling author will share how companies can create content that helps, and not sell to, potential residents while giving them a better insight into their brand
(May 8, 2013) — RealPage, Inc. (NASDAQ: RP), a leading provider of on-demand software and software-enabled services to the rental housing industry, is pleased to announce that Ann Handley, best-selling author and chief content officer of MarketingProfs, will present as a featured speaker at the 2013 RealWorld User Conference in Denver, Colorado, on Tuesday, July 16.
During her engaging and entertaining presentation, Ann will talk about the importance of creating content that breaks through the advertising and marketing clutter to tell the story of not only the rental housing company, but of the community as well.
“Multifamily or rental housing companies may not think they have a compelling story to tell… but they do,” said Handley. “Those stories can deliver a sense of what apartment communities are about, what makes them unique, and why renters should live there. Content isn’t just a tactic, it’s an amazing opportunity.”
Cited in Forbes as the most influential woman in Social Media and recognized by ForbesWoman as one of the top 20 women bloggers, Ann Handley is the chief content officer of MarketingProfs (www.marketingprofs.com), a training and education company with the largest community of marketers in its category. She is a monthly columnist for Entrepreneur magazine and the co-author of the best-selling book on content marketing, Content Rules: How to Create Killer Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Ebooks, Webinars (and More) That Engage Customers and Ignite Your Business (Wiley, 2012). The book has been translated into nine languages, including Turkish, Chinese, Korean, Italian, and Portuguese.
With more than 160,000 followers on Twitter, Handley is passionate about using social tools like Twitter and others to build relationships for organizations and individuals.
