KNOWING AND
COMMUNICATING YOURSELF
AMID CONSTRAINTS
Margot Bloomstein
Now What? Conference
043015
#NowWhat15 @mbloomstein
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 2
Let’s have a conversation about
content creation and site maintenance
and sustainability and KPIs and
constraints and customer feedback
and channel proliferation…
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 3
You cannot communicate
without creating
a monster.
Your website, blog,
Facebook groups,
YouTube channel,
Pinterest boards are
insatiable.
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 5
How do you feed the beast?
Where do you start
and how far will you go?
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 6
These are questions
for content owners.
Sorry, Marshall
McLuhan.
Medium transmits
message—
but demands it, too.

Know thyself.
We invest in knowing our users,
but how well do we know our
own brands?
If you don’t know what
you need to communicate,
how will you know if you succeed?
How do you know where to put
resources, time, and talent?
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 12
© 2015
First things first.
Why blog, conduct a content audit, add
video testimonials, Pin, consolidate site
architecture, or switch to a new CMS,
if you don’t know what you need to
communicate?
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 13

Tools enable how
you conceive ideas,
perceive your world,
and see yourself…

So who are you?
More
like
Apple.

Message architecture…

…versus brand values
Design
Innovation
Community
Excellence
These inspire, but without priority.
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 24

What’s a message architecture?
A hierarchy of communication goals
that reflects a common vocabulary.
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 25
© 2015
A little thing with big impact.
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 26

A little thing with big impact.
How could we prove this is a car not
like anything else out there? It’s a small
car, but it’s premium. You get a Porsche
911 ride for a fifth of the cost. It’s got
history… but in Europe.
You need to give people content to give
them history.”
@mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 28

Message architecture
Premium technology
• Assertive; ready to perform as a driver’s car
• Proactive and supportive of spontaneity
Classic design
• Experienced and savvy
Cheekiness
• Smart, “punny,” hip
• Fun, gleeful

If these emails are boring you
and you don’t mind missing out
on all the lip-smackin’ stuff
we’ll be sending in the future,
simply send a message to owner-
unsubscribe@insiders.miniusa.com
and include “Unsubscribe” and
your favorite fruit in the
subject field.

  • 12. @mbloomstein | #NowWhat15 12 © 2015 First things first. Why blog, conduct a content audit, add video testimonials, Pin, consolidate site architecture, or switch to a new CMS, if you don’t know what you need to communicate?
