Content : A coming of age story

Page 2: Content: a coming of age story

So what is content?

Page 3: Content: a coming of age story

it’s the stuff inside the boxit’s the stuff under the wrapperit’s the stuff that we organise, design and build for

Page 4: Content: a coming of age story
Page 5: Content: a coming of age story

“You’re the wordsmith right..”

Page 6: Content: a coming of age story

Someone who can answer questions like:

• Is there a better word for this?• Can you write me a little blurb to fit in this box?• Does the full-stop go inside or outside the quote mark?

Content isn’t new for Heyday

Page 13: Content: a coming of age story

In fact, we’ve been working with content since the early 1970’s

and ‘we’ = all of us

Page 18: Content: a coming of age story

Every time we ask ourselves ‘what shall I illustrate?’ or ‘which photo should I use?’

Page 19: Content: a coming of age story

that’s content

Page 20: Content: a coming of age story

Every time we ask ourselves ‘what shall I put in that title tag?’, or ‘how should I describe that CMS field’?

Page 21: Content: a coming of age story

that’s content

Page 22: Content: a coming of age story

And for the years we’ve been making data models. It’s easy to forget that the data, well...

Page 23: Content: a coming of age story

that’s content

Page 24: Content: a coming of age story

Every time we tackle a video project....

Page 25: Content: a coming of age story

that’s content

Page 26: Content: a coming of age story

Every time we do a content audit,

Page 27: Content: a coming of age story
Page 28: Content: a coming of age story

just jokes. that’s content

Page 29: Content: a coming of age story

but it hasn’t always been that way

Page 30: Content: a coming of age story

digital was a bit slow to the ballgame

Page 31: Content: a coming of age story

Content tended to be thought of as the word doc the client sent you 2 days before golive

Page 32: Content: a coming of age story

C.D.S became an epidemic

Page 33: Content: a coming of age story

“The website is all designed and built, we just need to slap

in some content...

Page 34: Content: a coming of age story

but that wasn’t the only absurd trend

Page 35: Content: a coming of age story

People keep creating content the same old way

they always have - big WYSIWYG blobs

Blurrggghhhh

Page 36: Content: a coming of age story

WYSIWYG

WYSIWTF

Page 37: Content: a coming of age story

so maybe it needs a little more thought...

Page 38: Content: a coming of age story
Page 39: Content: a coming of age story
Page 40: Content: a coming of age story

As a result, content now plays a key role in the strategic, creative and delivery phases of a project

Page 41: Content: a coming of age story

which means we now get to:

* help clients understand it * think about it

* plan for it* conceptualise it

* write it* shoot it* make it

* manage it

Page 42: Content: a coming of age story

so if it isn’t new, why do we need a content team?

Page 43: Content: a coming of age story
Page 44: Content: a coming of age story

(But there are also some more specialised parts of the discipline that we haven’t been doing...)

Plus, content roles are becoming the norm

Page 45: Content: a coming of age story

As a discipline, it’s rapidly growing, evolving, morphing.

Page 46: Content: a coming of age story

So how do the disciplines play?

Page 47: Content: a coming of age story

Content and development collaboration is probably the least grey. Opportunities to work together include :

• SEO• CMS (selection, admin interface, governance)• Responsive content• Data modeling (which data)• Content delivery

Page 48: Content: a coming of age story

a famous man once said ‘design is content is design’

Page 49: Content: a coming of age story

Content is often expressed visually (photography, video), which is why there’s a natural link to design

Page 50: Content: a coming of age story

Design is predominantly focused on the style, and how it supports the subject matter or brings it to life:

* What is the visual tone / mood?* What is the aesthetic? How does it work with client V.I?* What is appropriate stylistically?* How might the content work with other visual elements on the page, site, app, etc

Page 51: Content: a coming of age story

Content is predominantly focused on substance and structure..

* What is the theme / message?* Where is the substance / meaning?* What is the narrative. Where does the story start, how does it move?* What is the tone, language of the content?* How does it work with other content on the page, app, site, etc ?* How does it work with/complement strategy (business/digital)?

Page 52: Content: a coming of age story

the key is neither works without the other, which is why :

Substance StyleAwesome

Page 53: Content: a coming of age story

and access to and delivery of content is just as important :

‘Overlap’ is the point.

Page 59: Content: a coming of age story

So how do we organise our content offering?

Page 60: Content: a coming of age story

We’ve chunked our content offering into 4 parts:

Strategy Governance Production Marketing

Page 61: Content: a coming of age story

What is Content Strategy?

Content strategy plans for the creation, delivery, and governance of useful, usable content.

Page 62: Content: a coming of age story

What is Content Strategy?

it’s asking and answering these questions :

• what sort of content is appropriate? • where do we get it from? • how much do we need? • how is it structured or prioritised?• how is it displayed?• how will we measure its success?

Page 63: Content: a coming of age story

What is Content Strategy?

It’s the difference between :

‘we need some content’

and

‘what sort of content do we need’

Page 64: Content: a coming of age story

What is Content Governance?

Content Governance is about planning. It’s about establishing process, rules, tools, people and anything else that helps the client manage content over time

It’s the piece of the content puzzle that often gets neglected.....until after a digital property has been launched and the content falls to pieces

It’s as much to do with the people as the process that need to be completed...

Page 65: Content: a coming of age story

What is Content Production?

Making it!

Page 66: Content: a coming of age story

What is Content Marketing?

It’s paid and/or organic methods of getting your content out there and helping (the right) people get to your content

Page 67: Content: a coming of age story

What is Content Marketing?

It includes :

• SEO• SEM• Social• Email Marketing• Affiliate Marketing

Page 68: Content: a coming of age story

Content : A coming of age story

Page 69: Content: a coming of age story
Page 70: Content: a coming of age story

and how does it fit in our process?

Page 71: Content: a coming of age story

in the “good” old days process looked like this:

Publish it to the Publish it to the interwebsinterwebs

Draw a Draw a homepage, with homepage, with

some boxessome boxes

Build the pages Build the pages and some boxesand some boxes

Slap some words Slap some words into the boxesinto the boxes

Think about Think about boxesboxes

Draw some other Draw some other pages, and some pages, and some

more boxesmore boxes

Page 72: Content: a coming of age story
Page 73: Content: a coming of age story
Page 74: Content: a coming of age story

oh and not this:

Page 75: Content: a coming of age story

But these days our process has changed. And a ‘concept’ is a digital idea that is established on

the back of strategic insight, business intent and user needs.

Page 76: Content: a coming of age story

So our process is starting to look a little more like this :

Page 83: Content: a coming of age story

let’s finish with a quote from someone who knew some stuff

Page 84: Content: a coming of age story

“Im defo into this content buzz”

Page 85: Content: a coming of age story

“The best people are the ones that understand content. They’re a pain in the butt to manage,

but you put up with it because they are so good”
