Content Strategy, est. 2011 Before:
Atomic design as a
communication tool in design
and stakeholder meetings
Ever had the feeling like nobody
was visualising your ideas
correctly?
Or that you have the greatest
problem trying to visualise other
people’s ideas?
Countless review meetings,
all taking an emotional toll and precious time,
often sending you back to the drawing board.
Quotes
What are your frustrations over
the roles you need to work with?
Developer:
”They have great ideas that
almost never work in real life.”
UX Designer:
”Developers don’t tend to work
constructively with us.”
Project Manager:
”A lot of stakeholders fail to see
the system as a whole.”
Product Manager:
”UX Designers don’t validate
their work.”
Content Strategist:
”Communicating about technical
aspects when you don’t have a
technical background is hard, just
as communicating about content
is hard when you’re not a content
person.”
Clovis:
”Sometimes it’s as if they’re all
living on their island of expertise
throwing shit at each other.”
Problemo numero uno?
Communication
• Lack thereof
• Overuse
• Misuse
• Wrong tooling or too much tooling
• No common/shared language
