This talk was delivered at MarTech London. Marketing and UX are often seen as two disciplines separated by a common cause, but UX can significantly improve your marketing and don't just believe me: see what Marketing prophets are saying...
2. “Recent and not-too-distant developments for
both marketing and tech alike mean that forging
the relationship between marketing and UX is
especially important”
– Digital Marketing Magazine

Wire frames and prototypes
Psychology or neuroscience
User and stakeholder interviews and research
Data analysis
22. Good UX means the user has to think even less about the task
Bad UX means the user has to think more about the tool than the task
Good UX / Bad UX
UX UX
24. So, how does UX make marketing more effective?
People want a personalisation, convenience and utility.
UX delivers that.
Businesses want conversions and loyalty
UX delivers that
UX will ensure you’re delivering something that works - Right first time.
Though time is required for the research, this always
saves time and money from design and coding
25. – Digital Marketing Magazine
“As important a role as the capability of the
technology plays, it can all be undone if the end-
experience is poor”
Don’t believe me, believe the Marketing experts
28. – CIO Online Magazine
“In the age of digital marketing, UX is not
optional. Customers have come to expect and
prioritize things like convenience and
personalization.”
29. – Content Marketing Institute
“Just like a well-thrown party, user experience
(UX) combined with terrific content can have an
outsize impact on your customers.
Poor UX can drown out great content.
Great UX influences brand attraction and
engenders trust.”
still DOESN’T HAPPEN ENOUGH
Two DISCIPLINES DIVIDED by a common GOAL
EG. Business - post - engineering - marketing
UX COLLABORATOR - CUSTOMER CENTRIC
Devs - “Nobody asked me”
Bad things happen
UX collaborate
But enough about you, let’s talk about me
quickly
Cv COMES on TOILET ROLL
PEDEGREE
UNICORN
But enough about me
Marketing seeks to PERSUADE a user
UX asks the user “WHAT do YOU want?” and persuades the business
MARKETING CREATES the DESIRE in a customer
UX is about ENABLING DESIRES
COMMUNICATION.
Copy writers and creative designers were the kings and queens
EXPERIENCE
INTERACTIVE
Multi sensory solution
co-ordinate across platforms
UX is the king and queen now
sex alone does not sell - CV
I can recommend a therapist after this
RESEARCH and TESTING are important for this
You cannot deliver utility without testing
Observation allows you to uncover opportunities
You could build on this
It seems reasonable not to question this
It doesn’t mean your solution will FAIL ABYSMALLY
It means someone else will SUCCEED FANTASTICALLY
You could build on this
It seems reasonable not to question this
It doesn’t mean your solution will FAIL ABYSMALLY
It means someone else will SUCCEED FANTASTICALLY
TEST and COLLABORATE
You’re not thinking like a user
My job was to build a path
My job was to build a zebra crossing
If this was a user test you’d have failed
Your customer would have gone somewhere else
Who does what?
Does anyone know the difference between a UX designer and UI designer?
HANDS UP and Question
UX is clear to me.
UX Research - business, financial (MEASURE RoI), analytics, competitor (STEAL), users, unknown unknowns
UX Design - responsive, map user stories into journeys, review and share functional requirements with systems etc
UX Architecture - prototype iteration
UI MUST NOT BREAK UX
Expense of UI design and dev not incurred until after UX Architecture
because the skills required are so broad and deep
because the skills required are so broad and deep
Anybody NOT know what this is?
Great UX is great Marketing
It builds long term interest, advocacy, conversion and brand loyalty
WOW, Brand “X” doesn’t get me
They make my life harder, not better
They have no EMPATHY for me
Their are consequences to getting it wrong?
BAD - Customer GOES SOMEWHERE ELSE
GOOD - You are the SOMEWHERE ELSE THEY GO
…because good marketing will engage the customer for a few months,
but good UX will engage them for years
Don’t rush to market - your product will be there for a long time
Collaborate & customer centric
