‘...anything that conveys meaningfulinformation to humans is called “content.”
‘but ...[organisations] with hundredsor thousands of pieces of online content need someone who can stand back and figure out what all that content should communicate.’

We all make assumptions
Assumptions about reader context - however well researched - will never be perfect.

Quit thinking you can just guess what subset of content a “mobile user” wants. You’re going

How they got there
•Empowered by a rebrand - ‘It gave us leverage’
•Subject-matter content audit - to determine quality and match content to audience

‘With our science content, I thought 'oh, that content is fine, I don’t have to worry about it'
but the audit and analytics showed otherwise.
There were instances of our message across the site but no one concise message
anywhere.’
- Jo Kerr

‘To redo the science content, I brought in an audiologist, had him sit down and said "Explain
it to me like I'm doing my GCSEs". ’

Why it worked
•Ownership and empowerment
•‘We were told it had to be ‘good’ - but had to define for ourselves what ‘good’ was
•Set up analytics goals themselves, got ‘a bit obsessed’

‘It's all about being smarter with the resources you have.
‘And you need to hire people for whom content is their "thing". Otherwise it won't
work.’

"We have freedom, we have to use it to best effect - it's all a bit frightening, how do we
know we're doing the right thing? But if you make even one thing better and everything
else stays the same, it's worth the effort."’

Audits
•The unavoidable first (and never-ending) step
•It will debunk the deepest beliefs you have about your website

Testing
•Do this as lightly as you have to or as thoroughly as you can
•Use testing to define your users - and develop personas, if you like
•Try to set personas for each organisational area so you have something external to measure

Measurement
•Get to know Google Analytics - or whatever tool you use
•But remember, it’s not really about the numbers
•It’s the insights they reveal
•And above all, the changes you make as a result

Editorial calendars
•People will not just come and tell you what their plans are
•Everyone thinks their content is top priority
•If you don’t have a plan, you can’t show them where they fit in the hierarchy of needs

Conversations
•Still using social media just for PR? People can tell
•Use it to talk directly people, to find out where & how they’re talking to each other
•Be willing to take risks
