It’s a great time to be a content professional. With changes in consumer behavior and advances in technology, content has a more important role than ever.
This is a fun space to work in with tons of reasons to keep upping our content game:
- Effective content fuels intent-based moments, which Google coined as Micro-Moments, where consumers seek information to make a decision (know, go, do, or buy).
- Rapidly evolving smart devices and AI-powered conversational user interfaces are dependent on new formats of effective content.
- New data about customer effort, which is heavily influenced by effective content, shows that reducing customer effort has the strongest measurable correlation to customer loyalty.
As Patrick Bosek called out in a recent easyDITA post, these trends in consumer behavior and new technology “demand content to properly interact with us.” I love how he phrased that.
