Planning for the creation, aggregation,

usable, and appropriate content in an

You need this.

Message architecture
Content audit/inventory
Prescriptive content matrix
Content model
Editorial style guidelines
Metadata guidelines

Deliverables are merely
punctuation in the
conversation.

the conversation.

Why content strategy?
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 14
© 2013
Why content strategy?
Because we all want the same thing,
but content keeps getting in the way.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 15
© 2013
Why content strategy?
Launch on time
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 16
© 2013
Why content strategy?
Stay within budget
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 17

visually and verbally
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 18
© 2013

Maintain a consistent user experience
visually and verbally, across channels
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 19
© 2013
Why content strategy?
Maintain a consistent user experience
visually and verbally, across channels,
among platforms and devices
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 20
© 2013
Why content strategy?
Without the team killing each other over
differences in opinion and changing goals
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 21
© 2013
Establish the
message architecture.THIS CAN
HAPPEN.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 22
© 2013
More
like
Apple.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 23
© 2013
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 24
© 2013
More like Apple’s “message
architecture”
Confident but approachable; accessible
Simple
Minimal detail
Streamlined and anticipatory
Inviting, friendly
Supportive but not fawning
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 25
© 2013
Message architecture
Cheeky
• Witty and fun
• Young without being childish
Customer oriented and responsive
• Approachable, friendly
• Championing and empowering
Helpful
• Accessible

Message architecture…
Cheeky
Customer oriented and responsive
Helpful
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 29
© 2013
Versus brand values?
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 30
© 2013
Versus a mission or vision?
“Great design for everyone”
Vision and direction are different.
This inspires, but isn’t tactical.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 31
© 2013
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 32
© 2013
Gracious
• Welcoming, anticipatory service
Elite and premium
• Selective membership
• “Curated” experiences
Traditional
• Enduring heritage
• Preserving appreciation for quality
Message architecture?
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 33
© 2013
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 34
© 2013
First things first.
What do you need to communicate?
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 35
© 2013
First things first.
start blogging, audit the content,
consolidate site architecture, add video
testimonials, incorporate reviews, relaunch
the site, develop new brand guidelines,
switch to a new CMS, or go “mobile first”…
If you don’t know what
you need to communicate,
how will you know if you
succeed?
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 37
© 2013
What’s a message architecture?
A hierarchy of communication goals
that reflects a common vocabulary.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 38
© 2013
A little thing with big impact.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 39
© 2013
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 | #HIDC 40
© 2013
A little thing with big impact.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 41
© 2013
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.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 47

Message architecture drives
the user experience
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 48
© 2013
…in content
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 49
© 2013
…and in design
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 50
© 2013
…and in the choice of features
and content types
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 51
© 2013
What’s a message architecture?
A hierarchy of communication goals
that reflects a common vocabulary.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 52
© 2013
What’s a message architecture?
Concrete, shared terminology,
not abstract concepts.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 53
© 2013
Welcoming,
but elite.
Selective?
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 54
© 2013
Traditional,
but edgy.

@mbloomstein | #HIDC 56

Words are valuable,
but meaningless without
context and priority.

Words are valuable,
but meaningless without
context and priority.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 58

@mbloomstein | #HIDC 59
© 2013
How?
• Engage in a tangible, hands-on way
• Encourage debate and conversation
• Identify points of disagreement
• Prevent seagulling
• Force prioritization
• Encourage ownership & investment
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 60
© 2013
Why do this?
Words are cheaper than comps.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 61
© 2013
Why do this?
Refine the concept, rather than confirm
the purpose.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 62
© 2013
Why do this?
Promote new content types to manifest
the message architecture—not just
because they’re trendy or feasible.
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 63
© 2013
Why do this?
Gain standards by which to conduct
a qualitative audit.
(What is “good” anyway?)
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 64
© 2013© Lucas Films
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 65
© 2013
What will you learn?
• What do we have?
• What are the patterns, elements, & types?
• Is it any good?
• What do we need to update?
• What do we need to translate?
• Where do we need more?
@mbloomstein | #HIDC 66
© 2013
Where can you go?
• Apply a rubric to existing content, separate from
politics and history
• Prescribe new content—and reallocate budget
and resources—to address specific
communication goals
• Promote a new editorial calendar
• Consider CMS modifications to support new
content types

But first things first:
What are you trying to
communicate?
What content do you have and
what do you need to do that?
