Content Matters

What happens when a career agency content lead takes their talents in-house?

Stephanie Yoder, Director of Content at Rebrandly, joins the show to unpack her transition from agency life to leading in-house strategy—and why that shift gave her a whole new lens on collaboration, content creation, and career longevity.
