DESCRIPTION
How do you rally stakeholders around a unified user experience that’s consistent across design and content? That’s the challenge of a modern designer. Fortunately, content strategy is a powerful ally in that challenge. Amid constrained budgets, tight timelines, and unlimited interaction expectations, can you really add another tool to your toolkit? Can you afford to focus on content too? Yes—and you can’t afford to “let the client worry about it” any longer. We’ll discuss the value content strategy can add to your work and how it can help you streamline your process to save time and keep stakeholders happy. Then, we’ll discuss how to prioritize communication goals and develop a message architecture with a hands-on exercise—ideal whether you’re designing for the web, a mobile app, social media, or an offline experience. Finally, you’ll learn how to create consistency between copy, channels, and the typography and imagery you develop for those channels. There’s meaning in consistency, and you’ll explore how to master it in content and design. Presented at HOW Interactive Design Conference, #HIDC, November 6, 2013, in Chicago.TRANSCRIPT

What is content strategy?
Planning for the creation, aggregation,
delivery, and governance of useful,
usable, and appropriate content in an
experience.

Steps along the way…
Message architecture
Content audit/inventory
Prescriptive content matrix
Content model
Editorial style guidelines
Metadata guidelines
Governance guidelines

Deliverables are merely
punctuation in the
conversation.
Don’t let them replace
the conversation.

Why content strategy?
Because we all want the same thing,
but content keeps getting in the way.

Confident but approachable; accessible
Simple
Minimal detail
Streamlined and anticipatory
Inviting, friendly
Supportive but not fawning

Versus brand values?

Versus a mission or vision?
“Great design for everyone”
Vision and direction are different.
This inspires, but isn’t tactical.

First things first.
What do you need to communicate?

First things first.
start blogging, audit the content,
consolidate site architecture, add video
testimonials, incorporate reviews, relaunch
the site, develop new brand guidelines,
switch to a new CMS, or go “mobile first”…
![Page 36: Making Meaning in Content and Design (Bloomstein at HOW)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081403/54427777b1af9f3d0a8b4659/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
If you don’t know what
you need to communicate,
how will you know if you
succeed?

A little thing with big impact.
How could we prove this is a car not like
anything else out there? It’s a small car,
but it’s premium. You get a Porsche 911
ride for a fifth of the cost. It’s got history…
but in Europe.
You need to give people content to give
them history.”

What will you learn?
• What do we have?
• What are the patterns, elements, & types?
• Is it any good?
• What do we need to update?
• What do we need to translate?
• Where do we need more?

Where can you go?
• Apply a rubric to existing content, separate from

• Prescribe new content—and reallocate budget

communication goals
• Promote a new editorial calendar
• Consider CMS modifications to support new
content types
