Strategic Content Alliance Newsletter June 2009
The Strategic Content Alliance has published a range of resources in key areas, from Audience and IPR to Business Models. The toolkits include briefing papers, visualisation guides and case studies.
If you have used any of these resources we would really like to know how helpful they were to you and any improvements you think should be made. This will help us to make any further versions of these toolkits better, and effectively target future publications.
