An Interview with new Cronicle Content Marketing VP Tim Busbey

Q: Tell us a little bit about your background as a business writer.

My background as a business writer goes all the way back to my first full-time writing job out of college in 1996. I worked as the business reporter at a newspaper in North Central Ohio covering local businesses and business issues. Over the years, my journalism career encompassed various writing and editing roles that included business writing and editing. Besides spending nearly 15 years in newspaper and online journalism, I have more than 10 years of experience in content marketing for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Working in content marketing has allowed me to see behind the scenes of an array of companies, providing me valuable insight into how businesses operate and an understanding of how to successfully communicate with many different audiences.

Q: What are you passionate about as a writer and business person?

One of the things I am most passionate about as a writer and business person is to help people realize their dreams and achieve their potential. Whether that is by crafting a piece of content that boosts sales or strategizing on how SEO and content can drive business to their website, my goal as a writer and business person is to make sure that each business I work with ends up better off than they were. 

Q: Tell us a little bit about your vision for content marketing in business and tech. 

Although content marketing is not a new idea, there are still many companies that have not fully embraced the potential of online content marketing and the power it has to help drive new leads into their sales pipeline. Content marketing can create connections and drive businesses to reach untapped audiences they would never reach otherwise. My vision is to work with clients to understand what they need and their goals, and then create powerful, relevant content that can help them meet those goals and grow their businesses.
