too early for some end of year housekeeping?


This edition is brought to you by our friends at Demand-Genius

Escape the Content Treadmill

Most B2B marketers are busy churning out content to feed hungry algorithms, while 80% of their existing library sits unused.​

Demand-Genius is an AI-powered Content Intelligence platform for revenue-focused B2B Marketers. Run custom queries throughout your entire library to conduct deep, human-like analysis at scale, in minutes. Find gaps, prioritise updates, and build your content strategy around impact, not output.

"I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of what Demand-Genius can do. The Free Audit gave us great insights, but the AI queries let us evaluate everything - AI Optimisation, SEO, Brand Voice, CTAs - across our entire library. It's like Clay but for Marketing/Content teams!" - Jamaica Lancee, CMO, Sensat

Hey folks 👋 it’s Emily here from ContentUK

In this newsletter we’ve got:

  • Details of our next meetup 🎉
  • Other upcoming events 📆
  • Jobs 🤝
  • And first, a short update from me 👇

In my last couple of jobs it would get to this time in the year and we'd spend the rest of the year in planning mode. But I'd also use this time to do a bit of housekeeping of my existing content.

Now is a great time to review your existing body of content and make any important updates so it remains accurate and relevant in the new year. For example:

  • Update time-specific content (e.g. top marketing automation software for 2025 will look like an out-of-date list in January)
  • Check over your most valuable product related content and update to add new features or functionality that have been added since you published
  • Review customer case studies, remove ones you no longer have permission to use, or update to add new data or quotes based on their current experience with your product.

Over to you - what's one thing you can do to make sure your content remains up-to-date and accurate in the new year? 🧠 Catch you next time!

🤖 AI Hackathon

We’ve partnered with Suru Labs to bring you something totally different —TOFU.AI, a hackathon built just for marketers. On 21st November in London, join fellow marketers for an afternoon of hands-on AI learning while solving a real nonprofit’s marketing challenge together.

No AI hype, just a chance to experiment, collaborate, and leave with practical skills you can use right away. Spots are limited, so grab yours now (come solo or bring your team)!


📆 Next meetup

We're taking a short break from our monthly meetups over the holiday period at the end of the year, so our next meetup will be in January. Look forward to seeing you there!

📖 AI’s Impact on SEO: 13 Things That Changed, 4 Things That Stayed The Same by Mateusz Makosiewicz, Ahrefs

Like many of you, I started out in the "good old days" of content marketing. AI has ushered in a new chapter for SEO, and as Mateusz says, "the fundamentals still matter, but the strategy needs to evolve." His article for Ahrefs is a great read laying out what has (and hasn't) changed in SEO.
