Tracey Wallace was a journalist from childhood and hasn’t stopped writing since. There’s not much she doesn’t know about content marketing. Check out this all-signal episode from the archives.

As a child Tracey wrote magazines for her neighbors, revealing the activities of the local cats. She also took her red pen to Vogue and Teen Vogue, casting her editorial eye over them both. Now she’s Content Director at Klaviyo and a Workweek creator.

Daniel and Tracey talk about her transition from journalism into content, via tech and retail, the importance of design in content, and how Google Sheets is winning the content repository game.

You’ll also hear Tracey’s spicy take on why content marketing is chaos.
