By Ardath Albee
Editor's Note: In the second part of this three-part series, Arday expands upon this part of her marketing vision for 2009: "Marketers will become expert listeners, delving into their clients' problems, needs and challenges to ensure their content is designed to deliver more 'what's in it for me' than ever before." Click here to read part one or here to read part two of this series.
With content marketing and custom publishing at the fore for marketing in 2009, unless marketers can perfect their ability to really listen and understand their clients' and prospects' needs, perspectives, objectives and uncertainties, the marketing content they develop won't connect.
