A reading list of the best content strategy books

content strategy books

Not sure how we missed this but leading content strategist Kristina Halvorson – founder of Brain Traffic agency and Confab content strategy conference which we posted on last week – published a useful list of content strategy books last year. The list was crowdsourced on Twitter and includes “content strategy classics, hot-off-the-presses works, and a solid set of inspiring works that have shaped perspectives and purpose”.

We already have quite a few of these on Firehead’s bookshelves but it’s always good to get more recommendations. A new one that isn’t on the list but we’ve just bought is Colleen Jones’ follow-up to Clout: The Content Advantage: The Science of Succeeding at Digital Business through Effective Content.

Any other recommendations for 2019? Let us know in the comments.

Visit the BrainTraffic blog for the full content strategy reading list.
