Real Talk: Designing Content That Builds Trust
As content strategy continues to grow, it’s adapting to the needs of different organizations. While it used to be synonymous with writing web content, copywriting, and content marketing, that’s no longer the case. Now, we content strategists design messages to create meaningful, personal interactions with customers across across app interfaces, error messages, transactional communications, and more. Essentially, we are experience designers. It’s just that instead of visual elements, our main tool is words.
With this increased influence comes responsibility. As designers and content strategists, we need to constantly be thoughtful about how we’re positioning messaging in our experiences. We need to build trust with our customers, and much like trust between people, the only way we can do this effectively is by being upfront, authentic, and honest in our communication at all times. When we’re not, we end up failing our customers in a big way.
Lauren will talk about her experience as a content strategist on design and product teams at Capital One, and will showcase some of her go-to content strategy techniques and tools. She’ll introduce some questions and frameworks that can be iteratively applied throughout our design processes to maintain the integrity of our content.
