Robert McGuire
Owner, content marketing consultant, writer and managing editor
I have a vision for a content marketing agency that consistently produces standout material aligned with my clients’ business goals. I love working with companies that are innovating to tackle challenges in education — career success, the skills gap, credentialing, funding, access, completion and, most of all, learning and teaching. And I’m fascinated by companies that are innovating either on product development or on the business model — or both.
