Moving from ”a house of brands” to ”a branded house” is a long journey
Time for change
• Markets: Old CMS Episerver 5 – not mobile, and version no longer supported by provider.
• Current approx. 10 websites running on very ”low battery” – bad maintenance – due to lack of prioritisation and time.
• Inconsistency in look and feel and content – endangering the corporate brand.

Information Architecture in Arla
Insights about: • Organisation (to run websites) • Markets • Target groups • Visiting statistics • Current website architecture • Content - all of this put together in a nice matrix where we get
maximum out of what is possible/necessary

afi.com Lone Sommer Lone Sommer 0,5 *Arla FTE/day is a rough estimate of how much time you spend working with online every day (seen in an average of 1 week) 1= all day, 0,125=1 hour a day, 0,5=4 hours a day, 0,75=6 hours
Target groups
• Consumers (products/campaigns / recipes) • Job applicants • Public and NGO’s (press) • Students • Owners (farmers and potential business partners) • Authorities • B2B • Retailors
Need to have >< Nice to have Corporate >< consumer
Visiting statistics - What to look for?
• Get to know the ”State of the nation” • How much traffic do we get on the various subjects • How low traffic before you close a website?
Parameters I chose to look at: • Pageviews: About us, recipes, products • Social Media maturity: Channels, Likes, shares • Compared the same month across all markets
Content
Before • Analysing current content – tells a lot… • What is there? • When was it last updated? • Are there many broken links, missing images etc.
After • What does the company need to tell? • What is important for this market?

Going ”The Unilever Way”
• One strong unique brand presence across the globe
• One set of templates to support all markets
• One set of content areas decided for all markets
• Recipe sites versus company sites

Questions?
Getting into detail if there is more time
Considerations a long the way • Pros and Cons of language versioning • Governance of language versioning • Contents: global versus local
Migrating project move to new responsive platform • How long does it take to prepare, plan and implement • Who does what - resource consumption • Working with multi-vendor set-up
