Margot Bloomstein

The document discusses content strategy and message architecture. It defines message architecture as a hierarchy of communication goals that reflects a common vocabulary. It emphasizes establishing message architecture before undertaking content-related projects to ensure the most important messages are communicated. Cardsorting is presented as a hands-on technique to engage stakeholders and establish a shared understanding of priorities to form the basis of an effective message architecture.

@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 12 Ā© 2016 Content, design, IA, and UXā€” and the processes to create themā€” complement each other through content strategy. @mbloomstein | #WebVisions 12
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 13 Ā© 2016 Content, design, IA, and UXā€” and the processes to create themā€” complement each other through content strategy. But they require a foundation and vision. @mbloomstein | #WebVisions 13
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 14 Ā© 2016 Message architecture Content audit Content types Content model Editorial style guidelines and calendar
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 15 Ā© 2016 What is content strategy? Planning for the creation, aggregation, and governance of content thatā€™s useful, usable, and appropriate in an experience.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 16 Ā© 2016 Steps along the wayā€¦ Message architecture Content audit/inventory Prescriptive content matrix Content model Editorial style guidelines Metadata guidelines Governance guidelines
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 17 Ā© 2016 Deliverables are merely punctuation in the conversation. They canā€™t replace the conversationā€” and too often, weā€™re afraid to talk.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 18 Why content strategy?
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 19 Why content strategy? Because we all want the same thing, but content keeps getting in the way.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 20 Why content strategy? Launch on time
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 21 Why content strategy? Stay within budget
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 22 Why content strategy? Maintain a consistent user experience visually and verbally, across channels
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 23 Why content strategy? Without the team killing each other over differences in opinion and changing goals
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 24 Ā© 2016 This doesnā€™t need to be hard. Good content doesnā€™t need to be expensive to plan, time-consuming to create, or difficult to maintain. Thatā€™s content without content strategy.
More like Apple.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 27 Ā© 2016 More like Appleā€™s message architecture Confident but approachable; accessible Simple ā€¢ Minimal detail ā€¢ Streamlined and anticipatory Inviting, friendly ā€¢ Supportive but not fawning
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 28 Ā© 2016
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 29 Ā© 2016 Gracious and engaged ā€¢ Welcoming, anticipatory service Elite and premium ā€¢ Selective membership ā€¢ ā€œCuratedā€ experiences Traditional ā€¢ Enduring heritage ā€¢ Preserving appreciation for quality Message architecture?
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 30 Ā© 2016 Innovative Global Inclusive Engaged ā€¦versus Harvardā€™s principles (inspirational, but not actionable)
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 31 Ā© 2016 Message architecture Cheeky ā€¢ Witty and fun ā€¢ Young without being childish Customer oriented and responsive ā€¢ Approachable, friendly, and empowering Helpful ā€¢ Accessible

@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 35 Ā© 2016 Message architecture vs. brand values? 1. Cheeky 2. Customer oriented 3. Helpful Design Innovation Community Excellence (Inspiring, but lack priority)

@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 37 Ā© 2016 Whatā€™s a message architecture? A hierarchy of communication goals that reflects a common vocabularyā€¦ versus brand values, which are the ethics of a company.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 38 Ā© 2016 First things first. Why start blogging, audit the content, consolidate site architecture, add video testimonials, relaunch the site, develop new brand guidelines, launch a new campaign, or go ā€œmobile firstā€ā€¦ if you donā€™t know whatā€™s most important to communicate?
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 39 Ā© 2016 If you donā€™t know what to communicate, how will you know if you succeed?
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 40 Ā© 2016 Whatā€™s a message architecture? A hierarchy of communication goals that reflects a common vocabulary.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 41 Ā© 2016 A little thing with big impact.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 42 Ā© 2016 A little thing with big impact.
How could we prove this is a car not like anything else out there? Itā€™s a small car, but itā€™s premium. You get a Porsche 911 ride for a fifth of the cost. Itā€™s got historyā€¦ but in Europe. You need to give people content to give them history.ā€
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 44 Ā© 2016 Message architecture Premium technology ā€¢ Assertive; ready to perform as a driverā€™s car ā€¢ Proactive and supportive of spontaneity Classic design ā€¢ Experienced and savvy Cheekiness ā€¢ Smart, ā€œpunny,ā€ hip ā€¢ Fun, gleeful

Traditional, but edgy.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 71 Ā© 2016
Sometimes, we prefer jargon to communication.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 73 Ā© 2016 Words are valuable, but meaningless without context and priority.

@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 77 Ā© 2016 ā€¢ Who we are ā€¢ Who weā€™re not ā€¢ Who weā€™d like to be Go with your gut! Step 1
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 78 Ā© 2016 Who we are ļƒ  Who weā€™d like to be Be aspirational. What needs to change? Step 2
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 79 Ā© 2016 ā€¢ Form groups: what goes together? ā€¢ Prioritize the goals or groups ā€¢ Tell the story of those aspirations Step 3
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 80 Ā© 2016 Why do this? Words are cheaper than comps.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 81 Ā© 2016 Why do this? Content creation, organization, and governance all need a strong foundation.
@mbloomstein | #WebVisions 82 Ā© 2016 Why do this? Choose content types to manifest the message architectureā€” not just because theyā€™re trendy.
