E23: Why Your Content Marketing Isn't Working and 3 Ways to Fix It with Brian Piper

In this episode of Content Kingdom, host David G. Ewing sits down with Brian Piper, co-author of the second edition of Epic Content Marketing, to unpack what actually makes content work in an age of AI, overload, and sameness. Brian shares his unconventional path from creative writing major to SEO pioneer, content strategist, and eventual collaborator with Joe Pulizzi sparked by a single book that reshaped his career. The conversation goes deep into audience-first strategy, consistency, differentiation, and the role of authentic human voice in a world flooded with AI-generated content. Using real-world examples from higher education institutions like Purdue, Harvard, and Siena College, Brian explains how content systems, governance, and storytelling directly impact enrollment, alumni engagement, and long-term ROI. The episode also explores where brands should (and shouldn’t) push boundaries with edgy content, how AI can power personalization when paired with strong data foundations, and why being intentional is now non-negotiable.
