Content/Context
(Explicit)
• Talk to customers - not just about your interaction but the entire process
• Map experiences - especially sources of information, devices and associated services
• Inspect analytics - what does your analytics say about what people do based on how they get
to your site/service?
• Think about context – when searching on mobile, is that research or navigation? What is the
role of voice in your business?
• Align measurement to expectations – lead, website visit, e-commerce sale, capture a cookie?
• Partner appropriately – lead share and cross link with adjacent businesses
• Place value on up-stream content for Organic – video’s, how-to’s, personality, guides
• Follow through on an interaction – good or bad so that your brand is top of mind “next time”
• Continue to nurture the relationship – especially in a service oriented business.
Thank You!
