Okay,Let’s do this thing.

Velocity is aB2B contentmarketing agency. It’s what we do. It’s who we are.

We’ve beenevangelisingcontent marketingfor years. And, until recently, it was a bloody lonely thing to do.

We’ve alwayspracticed whatwe preach. With our own content marketing program that’s helped us grow more than 50% a year for the last 3 years. And next year is looking pretty damn good, too.

Back in 2008,we published…

And it worked. • Put us on the map • 4,000 plus downloads • Major Google juice • Andlots of new business

And we reported on the entirecampaign, warts and all, in aseries of 14 blog posts calledProject Open Kimono.

Hey, this content marketing stuff really works!The Manifesto and all it’s spin-offschanged our world.

In about 2 months,we’d killed most of our 12-month goals…

For Salesforce.com over here in Europe,we did the content strategy for a newcontent-packed microsite calledSocial Success…

Then filled the site with really good contentProducing 36 pieces in just 8 weeks.

Rich, varied, targeted content

Including… Original Curated Collaborative Legacy

With content at the very heart. Search Social Content Outbound
