“Dealing with content is messy. It’s complicated, it’s painful, and it’s expensive. And yet, the web is content. Content is the web. It deserves our time and attention. And that’s where content strategy comes in.”
- Kristina Halvorson, Brain Traffic
The collaborative role of a content strategist

Bill Parcells, Head Coach of the NE Patriots (1993-1996)
Taking a time-intensive, hands-on approach
![Page 4: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Only involved at the end of the process (coaching)
• Didn’t direct strategy at the beginning (picking players)
• Bill felt like he was set-up to fail, and was being held to an unfair level of accountability for the team’s success or failure
• Frustrated, Parcells left the team one week after taking the Patriots to their 2nd-ever Super Bowl
Problem - more strategic involvement needed

“The amount of labor that goes into creating and maintaining this standard of food long before a pan ever hits the fire is a huge investment. You work many times harder to–hopefully–create food you are proud of.”
From the Chefs: Do Your Homework
![Page 13: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“A farmer might ask a chef about what is specifically needed in the restaurant and then go ahead and plant it. A chef and the farmer can even arrange to plan out crops a year in advance...and decide what makes the most sense for both parties.”
From the Chefs: Plan Ahead
![Page 14: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“Ingredients are constantly fluctuating, not just seasonally, and it’s up to the chef to learn what the limitations are as to what’s available and how to put things together in a way that is still appealing with little notice.”
From the Chefs: Be Nimble

ISSUES WITH OLD SITE
NOT MOBILE FRIENDLY LOST IN THE CONTENT IS THIS FROM THE
CITY?
Just pinch and zoom Wait, where do I go? So many microsites...
If you wanted to get something done, you had to visit the full desktop site. We were shutting out those who rely on their phones to access the Internet.
The old website had tons of information. The problem? You needed to hunt and search to find that information, or just know where to go.
The frustration of using the old site forced some departments to run to alternatives. We didn’t have a consistent digital voice or brand.

INSIGHTS AND FEEDBACK: LOOKING IN (EMPLOYEES)
“There is no such thing as the City of Boston. We’re a bunch of individuals.”
“A lot of trust-breaking moments happen during hand-offs. There is inherently direct opposition between departments’ expertise, and the residents’ needs that straddle departments.”
![Page 105: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
INSIGHTS AND FEEDBACK: LOOKING OUT (CITIZEN STORIES)
“It’s exactly what you would expect of a government website — not very welcoming and very dry.”
“Today, the city website feels like hunting through an unorganized filing cabinet — all the information is there, but it’s not usable or accessible. It puts a heavy burden on the resident to find what they need, and takes a level of sophistication, tech savviness.”

Most people scan with a rough “F” pattern when they read a webpage.
Starting from the top left corner, they scan horizontally across the page and quickly drop down the left side for information.

The red shows the most viewed section of these websites, followed by yellow, and then blue.
HOW DO WE INTERACT WITH THE WEB
![Page 115: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
PEOPLE STILL NEED US BE BRIEF GET TO THE POINT
We’re the City of Boston. We have information that residents can only find on Boston.gov.
You’re the Harvard System; people need you to. Students, researchers, faculty, alums, and much more.
We still realistically only have the attention of our audience for a few seconds on each page.
Big chunks of text just copied and pasted onto a page won’t always do the trick.
There are ways we can write that can draw people in and get their attention.
By setting up our information and writing in a certain way, we can help residents get the info they need, and get on with their day.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR US?
![Page 116: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
TIP 1: WRITE SHORT SENTENCES
Try to make the average sentence length of your content 15-20 words.
You should look to make one point - and maybe a second, related point - in each sentence.
![Page 117: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
In the 1960s, researchers analyzed one million words of published US writing and found the average sentence length to be 19 words.
Here’s how that broke down:
● Government documents (25 words)● Learned and scientific (24)● Press reports (21)● Humor (18)● Fictional romance/love (14)● Fictional science/detective (13)
Government documents, probably the only essential info on the list, had the longest sentence length.
RESEARCH ON SENTENCE LENGTH
![Page 118: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
THE EASIEST WAY TO BREAK DOWN A LONG SENTENCE? USE PERIODS.
Periods help readers digest your latest point, and prepare for the next.
At the right, we split our big sentence into three little ones.
“The Boston Public Health Commission's Outreach Team provides outreach to individuals. They engage with approximately 400 people in the neighborhood. The team also helps those once barred from a shelter to regain admission and get the support they need.”
![Page 119: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
TIP 2: USE BULLETED LISTS
Bulleted, vertical lists can help break up long pieces of complicated content.
Information is placed in easier to read chunks, and sentences that need to be longer can become more readable.
![Page 120: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Vertical lists work best when you have a serial list in a sentence. These sentences have a bunch of items listed out, with commas in between.
BEFORE:
The Fire Prevention Division, in the Boston Fire Department, directs fire prevention activities. It handles the more technical fire prevention problems, maintains appropriate records, grants permits, investigates the causes of fires, and conducts public education programs.
AFTER:
The Fire Prevention Division:- handles more technical fire prevention problems- maintains appropriate records- grants permits- investigates the cause of fires, and- conducts public education programs.
HOW TO CREATE A [GOOD] BULLETED LIST
![Page 121: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
GRAMMAR COMPLETE SENTENCES DON’T OVERDO IT
You don’t need a punctuation after each line in your list.
If items in a list are complete sentences, treat them like that.
Not everything on a page needs to be in a bulleted list.
If you use a list where each item isn’t a complete sentence, you only need punctuation in the second-to-last and last sentence. For example:
Today, we bought:- grapes- donuts- apples, and- bananas.
For example:
Choosing the right tree isn’t that complicated, but we have some tips:
- Only pick freshly cut trees. - Pick a tree stand that
allows you to add water.- Make sure the stem of your
tree is cut diagonally.
Adding too many bullets to a page can be just as bad as having a big block of text.
If you overdo it, the bullets lose their impact. Save them for the important content on your page.
NOTES ON BULLETED LISTS
![Page 122: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
TIP 3: USE ACTIVE VOICE
When we speak, we usually use the active voice. Using the active voice can increase comprehension, and clearly state who is responsible for what.
In most active-voice sentences, the doer comes before the verb it governs.
![Page 123: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Putting the person or thing doing the action in a sentence in front of its verb will usually ensure that the verb is active.
ACTIVE VOICE:
The property owner pays the bill.
PASSIVE VOICE:
The bill should be paid by the property owner.
When you use the active voice, your writing is usually tighter, more personal, and you introduce the action earlier in the sentence.
When you use the passive voice, you create the reverse of this. It’s used often in jargon and legalese. There are times when you might need to use it, especially when the “doer” isn’t clear, but try to avoid them if you can.
WHAT IS ACTIVE VOICE?
![Page 124: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
An easy way to tell if you are using the active or passive voice is to add “by zombies” after the verb in the sentence.
If the sentence still makes sense after adding “by zombies,” it’s in the passive voice.
For example:
- Passive: The town was attacked (by zombies). Still makes sense.
- Active: Zombies attacked (by zombies) the town. Doesn’t make sense.
There are trickier versions of the passive voice, but this is an easy tip to keep in mind.
ZOMBIES AND ACTIVE VOICE
![Page 125: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
TIP 4: WRITE AS YOU SPEAK
It’s common advice, but it still holds true. What you write should read like a conversation with a friend.
![Page 126: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)
PERSONAL PRONOUNS CONTRACTIONS USE EVERYDAY
WORDS
It’s OK to use personal pronouns, like “we” and “you.”
One of the easiest ways to write as you talk is with contractions.
Why use a five dollar word when a five cent word will work?
When you avoid personal pronouns in your writing, you often create clumsy sentences.
Don’t be afraid to say "we" instead of “The City.” Instead of "residents" or “applicants,” consider saying "you."
People talk in contractions — like can’t and don’t — and using them helps people relate to what you’re writing.
The important thing to remember, though, is not to overuse them. Only use them when they sounds natural.
The average reading level in the US is about 8th grade. Using everyday words can help you reach a wider audience.
If you must use a certain word that may be more difficult for someone to understand, that’s OK. Just make sure to explain what it means in your text.

LESSONS LEARNED
Time: We wanted more! [so give yourselves as much time as you can] + Brand: It’s okay to let the brand organically seep into your communications.
We had an aggressive schedule and deadline. In just seven months, we:● built a content management system● rewrote nearly one million words, and● migrated all of the content to the new Boston.gov.
Build Schedule: Would have been helpful if we finished most of the content types before writing.
Build Confidence in Our Team/Each Other: Training, being available [and not disappearing], a new brand
Knowing each other’s limitation: Knowing that departments are the content experts, but that a ‘digital team’ can add value and additional support.
![Page 129: Content Strategy Academy Presentation Slides](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/5a6d42477f8b9a1b428b5237/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
CHALLENGES FOR US
TRAINING CITY STAFF STICKING TO THE BRAND
IT’S A BALANCING ACT KEEPING IT 8TH GRADE GETTING INVOLVED
We’ve made plain English and language a focus on the website, but some department’s are still using jargon and legalese.
Our public notices and press releases all come out at a post-graduate level.
Majority of departments are using the City’s brand, but there’s still a few holdouts. We’re slowly working to get everyone under the same umbrella.
READING LEVEL
Drupal is fairly easy to pick up.
But, if you don’t use it everyday, or even every week, it’s easy to forget.
We’ve trained more than 150 people, but only 20-30 consistently make updates.
