Agenda

A Simple (But Powerful) Content Distribution Strategy, with Taylor Mason

What you'll learn:

- Why creating a strong content asset should only be step one.

- Steps to map out a basic distribution strategy.

- Using AI to alleviate the heaviest lifting in this process and the 40/20/40 philosophy about using AI for content.

About Taylor:

After nearly a decade in public relations, managing big campaigns for global brands, Taylor Mason started feeling restless. PR was drifting away from the organic storytelling he loved and becoming a more advertorial endeavor. So, he pivoted into content marketing, a space where he could stay true to his storyteller roots and chart his own path. A random conversation led to his first client in the coworking world and he fell in love with the industry overnight.

That mix of happenstance and newfound passion became Talemaker. For the past seven years, Talemaker has worked exclusively in the flexible office industry, helping coworking spaces attract and retain members, operators win landlord partnerships, and service providers land more clients in the coworking world.

As one of the original designers at WeWork (2013-2020), he helped shape the coworking revolution, leading design teams across New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, and the Asia-Pacific region.

But his journey extends beyond workspace design. He’s a poet, spoken word artist, and design entrepreneur exploring how he can find purpose through his own creative work. This path began in the early 2000s when he was creating hip-hop beats and writing spoken word poetry, using creative expression as a vehicle for self-discovery.

Today, he integrates two decades of design expertise with his ongoing pursuit of authentic creative expression. This combination of professional mastery and personal exploration is what he shares with fellow creatives seeking their own path to purpose through work.
