consider the experience of
transitions

why?
70% of US online consumers
research products online and
purchase them offline
Forrester, Profiling The Multichannel Consumer, July 2009
65% of visitors to an online search engine were looking
for further information in relation to a product or
service they saw in a television commercial or in
a newspaper advertisement.

digital and physical are
colliding
technology is everywhere
internet of things http://endtimesworldnews.punt.nl/upload/internet_of_things.JPG
but
‘integrated experience
s are few and
far between’
Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino http://www.slideshare.net/designswarm/creating-the-internet-of-things
don’t design for technology, design
for the holistic experience
how?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/saroy/3455464539/
information architecture is the
foundation
information, not technology, is the
foundation for closing the gap between experiences
across channels
across channelsacross platforms

…predictable pathways of information are changing: the physical world itself is
becoming a type of information system.

there is an enormous demand right now to have
information on the go…people are living their lives
on the move, and that is increasingly how they want
their real estate information.

“holistic storytelling experience across
channels

NYT brand now content provider, not a
newspaper
think about
consistency

Website
Catalog
Ad Campaigns
In-Store Signage
Packaging
Product Information Guides

not the same information not the same experience
it's not about the channel, it’s about what

I’m the same customer in every interaction
think about the

Think about on ramps and off ramps
event on website
local event board

information is the bridge
information is blurring the lines between products and services to create multi-channel, cross-
platform, trans-media, physico-digital user experiences

Holistic experiences require holistic
information architecture. Across channels,
platforms, devices and touchpoints.
