Now, broken experiences can damage brands faster than ever. “Nothing can
deter confidence quicker than
a broken experience.”*

Content drives the user experience.
Rather than designating content as something that is plugged into a decorated shell, why not endeavour to put it at the centre?

Can you fill a user value gap?
Exploit the potential of your content– Is it structured?– Can it be re-used?– Can it be filtered?– Can it be searched (more
importantly, found)?– Can it be personalized?– Can it be integrated? – Can your content converge?– Can it be syndicated?– Can it interoperate with other
systems?
The first impression of a site is made within 50 milliseconds
![Page 31: Content strategies for the content lifecycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051412/54b43d424a7959cc788b4570/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Portable content: Converge, integrate, syndicate
Necessitates a move away from silos:• Integration: Inserting data variables into
content before delivery• Convergence: Displaying or delivering content
in a single place (screen or page)• Syndication: Automation of content delivery
![Page 32: Content strategies for the content lifecycle](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051412/54b43d424a7959cc788b4570/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Move assets up the value chain: increasing content value
Single-use assets• Cheap• Little value• Utilitarian
Multiple-use assets• More cost• More value• More care
How do you from here to here?

What is strategic content

platforms

Think outside the site• What are the touch points? • What can be automated for users?• What are the preferences of your audiences?• Are you contributing to an engaging user experience?• How creative can you be?• What is the best you can hope to provide, logistically?
