Chelsea Castle joins Erik Jacobson on 95% Content to share how Close.com is transforming their 12-year-old content strategy to build trust and affinity with the 95% of buyers not yet in market.

After inheriting what she calls a "hoarded house" of content from Close's history, Chelsea has spent the past year rebuilding their content approach around two core principles: 1) treating content as a product, and 2) creating memorable, magical moments.
