S--T CLIENTS SAY.
Disclaimer: ‘clients’ mentioned in this presentation are purely fictitious in nature. Clients attending today’s presentation would never say things like these.
BUT CAN CLIENTS DO IT THEMSELVES? THEY don’t always HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN PLACE
THEIR CONTENT TEAM MAY BE STUCK IN BAU WORLD
THEY MAY NOT REALISE THE SHEER MAGNITUDE OF THE WORK INVOLVED

Yes, we’ve really heard this before. What’s the point of spending hundreds of thousands
on a new CMS, only to use brochureware? Existing collateral content can be of variable quality
Content available is often limited

This happened to us just recently. JUST BECAUSE AN AGENCY HAS WORKED ON THE BRAND FOR LONGER
DOESN’t mean they KNOW THE TONE OF VOICE ANY BETTER
Unlike most agencies, we have vast experience with large-volume content projects

Seriously? Again, why waste your investment on old content?
Existing content may be out of date
Old content may not work well with new designs

Don’t leave content till last. If the content process isn’t well-planned,
it could be a serious blocker to project schedules
Designs and templates may not be accurate or optimised for the right content
There should always be collaboration between UX/visual/content design, right from the start
