?
Is there a gap? Do the people creating the marketing content connect with the folks
creating the core content? Are they involved in understanding the business goals for
the core content? Often, they are not.
Result
• Separate teams doing their best to achieve separate
goals !
• Ummm.... "
• Multiple streams of disconnected content #
content overkill
Consequences of content
overkill
• Which content do people find if they search?
• Which content is promoted on the site, in email, on social
media?
• Are the various types of core and marketing content written in
a common voice?
• Are all the facts the same in all content?
• If core content changes, does the marketing content change?
• If customer service uncovers information needs, how do they
address them?
Example: a product
• 5 or more distinct, separate content items created for a single
product
• No overlap
• No collaboration
• No awareness of what else is being created

relevant
