The document provides tips and best practices for writing content in a digital context. It recommends using short sentences of 15-20 words on average, using bulleted lists to break up long pieces of information, and using active voice to increase comprehension and clearly state who is responsible for actions.

In 2013, Content Marketing Institute released its first Content Marketing Framework. At the time, its purpose was to serve as a high-level view of the principles that govern the world of brand storytelling. Since then, CMI has worked with more than 100 brands, helping them put these core principles into practice. These partnerships have taught us a lot about which parts of the framework worked, which didn’t, and where we still needed to provide greater clarity and transparency. To reflect the insights we gained – as well as the many shifts that have occurred across the entire digital ecosystem – we’ve streamlined our original discussion, and have added a distinct new process model to each node. What follows is our redesigned Content Marketing Framework.

Competitive Analysis: Strategic UX Spy Games - Lyle KantrovichUXPA International
A Competitive Analysis is a great way UX teams can benchmark, generate ideas, learn about users, and stretch their thinking about design and UX strategy. A UX-centric competitive analysis is very different than what you’ll find outlined in any business book. This presentation outlines an approach for conducting competitive analysis even if your company or product “has no competitors”. This session will show you what a competitive analysis is, why it’s useful, when to do one, how to do it, and what the deliverable should include. You’ll also learn how a competitive analysis can help reinvigorate your organization’s focus on UX.
Here are some potential issues with this 11-point satisfaction scale:
- Partially labeled scales can lead to different interpretations of the scale points.
- Forced distribution with a neutral point may push respondents towards the middle who don't truly feel neutral.
- Lumping the 7+ responses together obscures variation in attitudes above satisfied.
- Subtracting below 6 from above 9 assumes equal intervals between scale points which may not reflect how respondents conceptualize satisfaction.
- Unipolar scales can't capture dissatisfaction which is important information. A bipolar scale may better measure the construct.
In summary, this scale has response option and analysis issues that could undermine the validity and reliability of the satisfaction measure.
The document discusses various user research methods used in task analysis including surveys, interviews, focus groups, ethnography, and user research.

Hierarchical task analysis and requirements definition are also summarized as breaking down tasks into sub-tasks and defining the requirements personas need to achieve their goals.

Introduction to UX Research: Designing Surveys That Don't Suck!William Evans
This document discusses the importance of question design in surveys and presents strategies for minimizing researcher bias and obtaining objective data. It notes that surveys are inherently shaped by the researcher's perspectives and that response options can introduce ambiguity and "noise" that obscures the desired information. Specific problematic examples are provided. The document advocates for clear, logically structured questions with unambiguous response anchors that are symmetrically distanced and intuitively ordered. While good questions don't guarantee valid results, they can help ensure the researcher is hearing the intended "signal" rather than unwanted "noise" in the data.
Information Architecture: Making Information Accessible and Usefulfrog
This is a talk about how designers can help people make use of information—both find and act upon it.
To illustrate this, I take a trip to the SFMOMA to share the work of Dieter Rams, whose ethos of "Less, but better" is a challenge to any designer seeking to create better websites and applications.
I re-explore this trip multiple times over the course of the talk, considering the overlap of information in physical and digital systems—and how conceptually we merge them.
From there, I provide best practices and principles for how to approach information architecture and user experience design in a more iterative, agile fashion through in-line prototyping.
Flows map out user journeys and paths through an experience beyond simple site maps and wireframes. They show the steps, decisions, and transitions between states to guide users, improve conversion, and tell the user's story. Good flows start with goals, show progress and feedback, maintain context and consistency, and have clear calls to action at each step. Bad flows lack context and signage, are inconsistent, force the user to remember details, and focus more on features than the user experience.

Delivering Your Content Strategy: Effective Documentation and Deliverables (C...Kim Marques
You made it! You finally got “content strategy” added to your job description. You’ve convinced your organization it’s important and you’re ready to get started. Bring on the content audits, page templates, and copy decks.
Except: What does a content template look like? And how do you create a gap analysis? When Kim Marques joined Liberty Mutual five years ago, she asked herself the same questions—so she started making stuff up. In this session, Kim shared the lessons she learned about documenting and presenting content strategy recommendations, and creating deliverables that help other people do their jobs more effectively.
This session covered:
What some of the most common types of content strategy deliverables are, what they look like, and the purpose each of them serve
How to determine which deliverables are appropriate for your project or organization
How to create documents that help other people complete their parts of the project more effectively
Over the past five years, we’ve seen the rise of social media, the advent of mobile, the (constant) evolution of SEO, the invention of responsive design, and now the industry mandate of content marketing. And yet—despite the fact that everything requires it—content remains a fundamental challenge for all of our organizations. Too much content, or not enough. Producing content in silos, but no backing from leadership to break down the barriers. No central governance in place, but too many internal politics to make it a reality. Seriously—how are we supposed to deal with “digital transformation” if we still can’t agree on what content should go on the homepage of our website? With her typical pragmatism and humor, Kristina shares insights on what’s next (and what’s needed) for content strategy in 2015.

The document summarizes the key aspects and goals of conducting a collaborative content audit. It discusses why audits are important for meeting organizational needs, improving user experience, and managing resources effectively. The audit process involves both quantitative and qualitative evaluation of current content through inventorying, analytics, and discussions with stakeholders. The goals are to clean up content, improve findability, determine what users engage with, and justify expenses. Conducting the audit is a collaborative process that helps align content with goals and users through consensus building.

The table settings are perfect, décor impeccable, the guests are all invited – but where’s the meal? This is the scenario when you’ve harnessed the latest technology, crafted eye-catching visual design, and built great navigation but haven’t allocated the resources needed to craft consistent, useful content. Developing a content strategy can enable your organization to create better content, manage that content throughout its life cycle, and allow you to reuse it appropriately across the channels. We’ll look at how to know where you are with a content audit and gap analysis and plan where you’re going with a practical, effective content strategy.
The document outlines a 6-step guide to content strategy that leverages technology to avoid common content marketing pitfalls. It discusses defining content strategy by planning to create audience-focused content and distribute it effectively. The steps include understanding the audience, defining central messages and formats, mapping distribution channels, enabling strategy with the right tools, personalizing experiences, and establishing a process of continuous digital maturity. The overall strategy emphasizes putting users first and enabling content that is useful, relevant and timely.
This document provides a summary of content strategy concepts and best practices. It discusses how content strategy guides plans for creating, delivering, and governing content to achieve business goals. It also covers defining the substance and structure of content, establishing workflows and ownership, and using tools like content audits, style guides, and governance policies. The document recommends resources like books, websites, and people in the field to learn more about developing an effective content strategy.
This document discusses content strategy as a methodology rather than a practice. It proposes that content strategy involves common elements of having a body of tactics for working with content, establishing measurable goals and strategic initiatives, and making decisions with a user-centered focus through interdisciplinary collaboration. Describing content strategy this way provides implications for how different roles can apply a content strategy methodology to their specific practices in a consistent yet tailored way. It also discusses how this perspective on content strategy as a methodology can help with hiring, project scoping, and advocating the value of content-related work.
How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing StrategyMichael Brenner
http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/plan-build-successful-content-marketing-strategy -- Did you know that every day on the internet:
There are 4.75 Billion pieces of content shared
There are 1.8 Billion photos uploaded
There are 700 Million Snapchats
There are 500 Million tweets
Marketing, as we know it, is being transformed right in front of our eyes. More and more messages are being promoted every day, on more channels, and as a result, consumers are learning to simply tune out the noise.
Because of this, brands must leverage content marketing to deliver the useful information necessary to educate and build trust with their audiences. But they often fail to document what they are trying to achieve, how they will get it done, and what measures will prove success.
Yesterday I presented to more than 600 attendees of the NewsCred #ThinkContent Webinar: "How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing Strategy." I presented:
The key factors for content marketing success
The core components of a content marketing strategy
I answered the main questions of how to build a solid content marketing strategy
I shared my secret that effective content marketing was relatively simple:
"The buyer journey is nothing more than a series of questions that must be answered." ~ IDC
I shared the Content Marketing Institute's more formal definition of content marketing:
“Content marketing is the marketing and business process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.” ~ Content Marketing Institute
And I shared the rallying cry for why we need to change:
"We have to stop interrupting what people are interested in, and be what people are interested in." ~ Craig Davis (former Chief Creative Office - J. Walter Thompson)
Backed by research and our own customer engagements, I covered
The 6 factors to content marketing success:
Document content strategy
Have someone in charge of content
Consistently publish quality content
Map content to buyer journey
Balance Paid, Owned, Earned Media
Track Content Marketing ROI
I provided an example and a template for anyone to develop:
Your Content Marketing Mission Statement
Become a destination for [target audience] interested in [topics]. To help them [customer value].
This will help us [your content marketing goals]
Earn your audience’s attention vs. just buying it
Reach, engage and convert NEW buyers
AmEx Open Forum Example: Help Small Businesses Do More Business. To become the largest source of inbound leads.
I provided spreadsheets to help anyone conduct a content audit and measure their content marketing results:
A content strategy...
is not a single solution or a single deliverable
It is a detailed process and an aggressive mindset
It is a continual process of improvement, focused on the use of content and content messaging and focus to achieve strategic organizational goals
If you're in tune with the realization that the content that you market for your business is constantly evolving - you're practicing Content Strategy

- 2015 Content Marketing World keynote presentation -
As we gather to celebrate the amazing opportunities content marketing provides us, it’s important to face head-on the challenges it poses. With all the time and energy content strategy requires, it’s sometimes easy to lose sight of our #1 responsibility as marketers: to satisfy the customer. How can we ensure our content is helping—and not harming—our cause?
You’ll learn:
- What committing to content marketing really looks like
- How content strategy can save your sanity
- How successful content-centric organizations are evolving
- What “content success” means to our customers
This document discusses strategies for overcoming content chaos and improving content marketing efforts. It recommends assessing principles and priorities, mapping the current content ecosystem, prioritizing critical issues, and engaging stakeholders in the business. The key is to gain alignment on goals and principles, understand dependencies and challenges, and create a plan with milestones and ownership. Rather than just arguing for more content, the approach is to build a case for doing content marketing strategically and effectively.
UI is language. Interaction is conversation. Content is the fuel that powers our designs. So what happens when the writer’s not in the room, or missing from your project team altogether? Good news: you don’t need to settle for lorem ipsum or half-baked prose. In this talk, Kristina shares language principles and content design tools anyone can put to work—yes, even the “non-writers” among us. Using examples from popular products and well-loved websites, Kristina uncovers the secrets to stellar content that anyone can create, no matter your role or area of expertise.
The Truth About Content: Broken Dreams and the Big FixKristina Halvorson
AUDIO RECORDING: https://schedule.sxsw.com/2018/events/PP97098
The marketing pundits made you a promise: create the content, promote it everywhere, and watch the money roll in. Now you’re stuck with a vast wasteland of unread, unwatched content. What’s the next right move? More promotion? Different content? Can AI help? Fact is, content is a complex beast, and we need to treat it as such. Come learn about a smart strategic framework that will finally help you manage content with confidence, now and in the future.
In content strategy, it can be a huge struggle getting everyone working from the same playbook. Why are we creating this content? Who is it for? Who is accountable for its success? To get to stakeholder alignment, we don’t need to rely solely on our persuasive powers. There are tools that can help groups set individual agendas aside and focus on building shared standards and strategy. Kristina shares her own methods for getting people on the same page in any project or team setting.
Presented at An Event Apart in Denver, December 2017
As content professionals, our jobs require more cross-team collaboration than ever, and that means it’s getting tougher to delineate our disciplines. When was the last time you did “just” design, content, or code? It’s no longer an option to only care about what’s on your plate.
Drawing from her experience as a “content therapist,” Kristina will share insights about how curiosity, empathy, and shared ambition will help us all build a better web.

"In order to succeed into today's competitive digital landscape, companies must leverage mobile enterprise technologies while engaging in social media cross-channel in agile content marketing blah blah blah."
Sorry, marketers. We can’t hear you, because we have collectively, actively stopped listening. Your ads, your overloaded websites, your sponsored content, your "infotainment series"—these are not the things we want or need. What we need, dear people, is for you to pause … and breathe. Stop treating every day like a fire drill. Momentarily ignore the shiny new trends. Instead, take a look at the things that are (still) fundamentally broken. Your message is splintered. Your teams are siloed. Your technology is backwards. Your content still sucks.
So let's sit down together and talk about a whole new world of marketing, one where pragmatism and principle drive a new kind of innovation: fixing what's actually broken, versus finding new things to break.
How to make a website: discover, define, design, develop, deploy. It’s a familiar framework for most of our project processes. Now along comes this content strategy thing. Sure, it sounds like a great idea, but how does it fit in with what we’re already doing? Walk through a a typical website project to find out how content strategy fits (and why it will make you so happy!)

Today, it's quite probable that the two most important words for marketers are "content strategy." Content strategy identifies which content will best achieve your business objectives while fulfilling your customers' needs. Developing a content strategy also helps answer questions that often get left until the eleventh hour: Who is going to create the content, and how? How can you ensure your communications are consistent across all channels? What role will user-generated content play in helping meet your marketing goals?
This presentation discusses:
