Are you a B2B marketer looking to expand your online presence? Look no further than Quora. This question-and-answer platform is a goldmine for engaging with a diverse range of topics and discussions.
‘It blends the best in people from their academic, work, and personal lives,’ said tech marketing consultant Gaia Dempsey. ‘I definitely engage with topics related to my business, like social media and analytics. But I also follow topics related to science and everyday life. Quora is, perhaps, the only social network that enables nuance.’
