English and Creative Writing majors are good at content strategy, a growing field.  It’s hard to apply for jobs doing it if you don’t know what it is, though.  Lindsey Markel-Gates, a content strategist with Pixo, a custom software company in Urbana, will explain what she does (and how you can do it, too), on MONDAY, Oct. 26, at 4pm in EB 149.

Here’s an interview she did with the News-Gazette a few years ago (and before she started working for Pixo): http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2012-06-17/getting-personal-lindsey-gates-markel.html
