CONTENT HUB
ADVANTAGES —ONLY UPDATE ONCE (ISH) —CENTRALIZED CONTROL —POTENTIAL SYNERGY: OMNICHANNEL
DISADVANTAGES —GENERIC CONTENT —POTENTIALLY BAD UX

CHANNEL-TAILORED CONTENT
ADVANTAGES —HYPER RELEVANT UX —WYSIWYG FOR CONTENT PRODUCERS
DISADVANTAGES —VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO UPDATE X CHANNELS —NO SYNERGY ACROSS PROJECTS/CHANNELS

THE (SLIGHLY UTOPIAN
DREAM OF A) CONTENT HUB

“We should move all of our content to a content hub because it will let us repurpose content across different projects, channels and platforms and because it will let us produce content across internal departments and external content providers. Let’s use CMS’s such as Contentful or Woodwing’s Content Station to create, manage and store structured content and publish it all directly to each and every publication point via content delivery API’s.”
![Page 42: Content wants to be free (from projects) - J.boye Aarhus 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58ceb6451a28abb2218b5d0b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

“Mmyeah, but you risk creating a new monster of a publication system that way, leading to integration nightmares. Or you risk that content will fail to communicate in a relevant manner because it was created in a system too far away from where it touches the user. “

THE (OVERWHELMINGLY
HARD CASE FOR) CHANNEL-TAILORED
CONTENT
![Page 45: Content wants to be free (from projects) - J.boye Aarhus 2015](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58ceb6451a28abb2218b5d0b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

“We should keep allocating ressources for each touchpoint because that is how you produce real quality content. Only by doing so, we make sure content speaks the language of the platform, relates more directly to target groups, is framed correctly to obtain project goals—and also prevents content from becoming too generalized. Let’s try to agree on some overarching themes and goals—and then let the channel, platform or project content folks communicate them in appropriate ways, one channel at a time.”

“But hey, you won’t be able to keep up at the pace things are moving—when you’re trying to produce content for one channel at a time! What about the time it takes to translate it all, too? And don’t even get me started on personalization.”

If anyone says let's do a Create Once Publish Everywhere setup and really tailor the user experiences on each touchpoint,
then start waving flags.

THE CONTENT-MIX OF A PROJECT:
Contextual Content
Core Content
Content as a business asset. Reusable, long-term content. Approved, proof-read, translated. Can never live in a single channel!
Short-lived content. Tailored to a particular touchpoint, to the project’s goal and fit to the tone of voice of the channel and the platform. Lives nicely in the publication system of a channel or a platform. Content is produced by platform experts

Look at your own organization: 1. Identify one type of content that would be better off by being handled centrally
2. Identify content that would be better off by being edited and managed in the channel
3. Combine the two in at least 2 different end results (An end result can be an intranet webpage, a product webpage, an app screen, an email, a flyer, an info screen, a fridge etc.)
4. Go through 1-3 alone, then explain to your neighbor, then iterate together
5. Present your neighbor’s end results to all

Look at your own organization:
1. Identify one project that has produced content that could be used across several projects.
2. Now imagine a new project of yours—about something else—and describe how to reuse content from 1.
3. Go through 1-2 alone, then explain to your neighbor, then iterate together
4. Present your neightbor’s project to all
