@mbloomstein | #uxlx 19 © 2014 This can be yours.
More like Apple.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 23 © 2014 More like Apple’s “message architecture” Confident but approachable; accessible Simple Minimal detail Streamlined and anticipatory Inviting, friendly Supportive but not fawning

@mbloomstein | #uxlx 28 © 2014 Message architecture… Cheeky Customer oriented and responsive Helpful
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 29 © 2014 Versus brand values?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 30 © 2014 Versus a mission or vision? “Great design for everyone” Vision and direction are different. This inspires, but isn’t tactical.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 31 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 32 © 2014 Gracious • Welcoming, anticipatory service Elite and premium • Selective membership • “Curated” experiences Traditional • Enduring heritage • Preserving appreciation for quality Message architecture?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 33 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 34 © 2014 First things first. What do you need to communicate?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 35 © 2014 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”…
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 36 If you don’t know what you need to communicate, how will you know if you succeed?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 37 © 2014 What’s a message architecture? A hierarchy of communication goals that reflects a common vocabulary.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 38 © 2014 A little thing with big impact.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 39 © 2014 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.”
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 40 © 2014 A little thing with big impact.

@mbloomstein | #uxlx 66 © 2014 What’s a message architecture? A hierarchy of communication goals that reflects a common vocabulary.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 67 © 2014 What’s a message architecture? Concrete, shared terminology, not abstract concepts.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 68 © 2014 Welcoming, but elite. Selective?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 69 © 2014 Accessible, open, and premiere.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 70 © 2014 Traditional, but edgy.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 71 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 72 © 2014 Words are valuable, but meaningless without context and priority. (In a few minutes, we’ll give them context.)
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 73 © 2014 How? • Engage in a tangible, hands-on way • Encourage debate and conversation • Identify points of disagreement • Prevent seagulling • Force prioritization • Encourage ownership & investment
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 74 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 75 © 2014 Cardsorting • Groups of 7 – 10 • 3 people represent the brand • Everyone else: put on your content strategy hats!
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 76 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 77 © 2014 • Who we are • Who we’re not • Who we’d like to be Go with your gut! Step 1
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 78 © 2014 Who we are  Who we’d like to be Be aspirational. What needs to change? Step 2
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 79 © 2014 • Form groups: what goes together? • Prioritize the goals or groups • Tell the story of those aspirations Step 3
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 80 Why do this? Words are cheaper than comps.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 81 Why do this? Refine the concept, rather than confirm the purpose.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 82 Why do this? Choose content types to manifest the message architecture— not just because they’re trendy.
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 83 Audit time!
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 84 © 2014 Message architecture Passionate about strategic discovery • Creative, spirited, inspired • Visionary, innovative thought leader and industry leader • Flexible Tactical and hands-on • In the trenches, in touch • Detail-oriented and methodical Pioneering • Groundbreaking, trend-setting • Modern and savvy People-focused and market-driven • Trusted by medical professionals, researchers, and media • Industry news source

@mbloomstein | #uxlx 87 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 88 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 89 Audit to understand what you have and what you need. Don’t just do it for fun. Before you can start, you need to know why. What are you trying to learn?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 90 © 2014 Every tab tracks the same data Quantitative: • Head count: what do we have? • Is it consistent? • Are similar content types consistent in size and structure? • Is there parity of length, level of detail, and tone?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 91 © 2014 Every tab tracks the same data Qualitative: is it any good? • ROT analysis: redundant, outdated, trivial • Current, relevant, and appropriate to the message architecture • Does it serve the communication goals? • Does it speak to the target audience?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 92 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 93 © 2014
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 94 © 2014 Each piece of content gets a row Set up dropdowns to constrain data • Data  Data validation  List  Sources
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 95 © 2014 What will you learn? • What do we have? • What are the patterns, elements, & types? • Is it any good? • Do people even like it? (Check analytics!) • What do we need to update? • What do we need to translate? • Where do we need more?
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 96 © 2014 Where can you go? • Prescribe new content types • Advocate for more frequent content updates • Promote a new editorial calendar • Reallocate budget across social media channels
@mbloomstein | #uxlx 97 But first things first: Understand what you need to communicate—and why.
