Ilona Hiila: Content World Domination. Reaktor Design Day. 3.10.2013. Questions: @IlonaHiila.

I SAW IN MY WORK that the WAY COMPANIES COMMUNICATEd DIDIN’T RESONATE WITH THE WAY PEOPLE USED ONLINE CONTENT.
.
THE INDIVIDUALS WERE LOOKING FOR CONTENT THAT WAS RELEVANT AND MEANINGFUL. COMPANIES WERE OFFERING THE FOLLOWING:

even though the click through rates are as low as less than 1%!
Many companies are in quick sand with their operations online.
they focus solely on tech/visual design, rather than think what
kind of content they should offer.

Content World Domination
what do I talk about
when I talk about
content?

Everyone has a different view on what content is.
Oh, I thought meant that content.
• article • digital copy • blog • blog post • COMPETITION • status update • info
• video • advertisement • layout • photo • form • a block • Banner ad
No, I meant this content.
• Digital content, that is published on various platforms and that aims to engage customers
• Content that is is the data people consume online and that is supported by the visual and/or technical design
what do I talk about
when I talk about
domination?

No, not about this.

not this either. because there’s no need for plotting domination like stewie.
content already dominates all our online experiences.
before your audience uses your design or interface, there has been content involved from google, fb, twitter, email etc…
HOW TO DESIGN DOMINATING CONTENT?
RULE NO. 1: FORGET YOUR
BRAND
cheers hawk! http://slidesha.re/15hdsD8
PEOPLE ARE NOT NATURALLY INTERESTED
IN YOUR BRAND!
UNLESS YOU’RE A…

FIND SHARED INTEREST
• listen to your customer. • understand where they hang
out. • FIND OUT what they talk about. • UNDERSTAND WHAT kind of
content is missing from their life.
RULE NO. 2: CREATE
MOMENTS
Rule number 2 – own the moment(s)
• DO NOT SELL. • BE THE PERSON YOU WANT TO
BE WITH. • CREATE MOMENTS – THEY SELL
THE WHOLENESS OF YOUR BRAND RATHER THAN JUST ONE PRODUCT
KIM JONG-UN OR SANTA?
• DON’T AIM ONLY FOR AWARENESS. IT’S NOT ALWAYS A GREAT THING.
• MEASURE ALSO FAMILIRATY AND HOW WELL YOUR AUDIENCES CONNECT WITH YOUR BRAND ATTRIBUTES.
RULE NO. 3: LOVE IT

content is often considered as something you do after “all the important stuff” is done!
individuals are successful online because they love to share.
THE CONTENT YOU SHARE SHOULD BE AS IMPORTANT AS
THE PRODUCT OR SERVICES YOU SELL
RULE NO. 4: re-think your
resources
“liquid content STRATEGY”

“The way we did online before was little like bowling,
now it’s more like ping pong”
before: few big balls aimed at a static audience in order to make them fall.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dcjohn/95893598/
now: continuous game in which we play with the audience and respond
to their serves.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/23743691@N06/5526404097/
we need: new ways to think our
resources!
but why?
costs. reach.
targeting.
part of a revolution?
understand who your enemy is.
