Working with Developers to Activate your Content Strategy
Tuesday, Oct 15 8:30 - 9:15
Presented by Georgy CohenWhen we’re talking about digital work, sometimes we divide that work into two buckets: the “creative” work (completed by visionary unicorns) and the “technical” work (completed by heads-down colleagues who just want to be left alone to code in peace).
But this is inaccurate. The creative and technical aspects of digital work need to be aligned in order to create effective experiences. This is particularly true when we are talking about content strategy.
In this talk, I will discuss how to practically achieve successful collaboration between creative and technical teams, yielding both an effective content strategy and deeper cross-disciplinary understanding. This means being more thoughtful about team dynamics and communication, requirements gathering, information design, the interplay between code and content, and overall site governance.
