Any website can have product marketing content, service and support content, technical documentation, and can be organized in a multiple ways. However, viewers of the website can still leave confused or unhappy if the company responsible for the website doesn’t have a content strategy in place. Drawing on 35 years in information-development consulting, Dr. JoAnn Hackos discusses the increasing importance of a unified content strategy that supports the customers’ information experience. She explains how organizations have created Content Councils and established a program to collaborate on customer content development and deployment. Content Councils help unify content-development activities and reduce costs by avoiding content duplication, outdated content, and the proliferation of content that makes finding the right answers to questions more difficult.
“We are excited to partner with Dr. Hackos again to educate technical communications professionals about content strategies,” said Suzanne Mescan, Director of Marketing for Vasont Systems. “Her vast experience in the industry gives her a unique perspective, and attendees always walk away from her presentations with great, new ideas to implement in their own organizations.”
