The Evolution of Content Marketing
How many of these projects could scale? How many of
these content projects could be easily reused by other
divisions or departments? How many could be repurposed
without major human intervention? How many could even be
found after the campaign was over?

The Evolution of Content Marketing
What if I could take a piece of content and publish it to
multiple output channels, all set to display in different
ways (because of the rules that I set) without having to
handcraft each piece of content separately?
Technical communicators have been doing this for years

Intelligent Content Across the Organization
The benefits of using intelligent content principles
can be even more dramatic for marketing content
than for technical content.

Challenges with the current state
• Content is page bound, which presents many challenges:
oFindability: Page-bound content forces users to consume more than
they need in order to find a few salient nuggets within them
oShareability: Nobody shares pages. Users share assets—videos,
infographics, articles, etc.
oAdaptability: Large pages tend to turn into infinite scrolls when
converted to mobile screens. Forcing users to consume the whole page
to get the content they need is bad UX
oMeasurability: Users of pages focus their attention on areas of the
page and their clicks on particular assets. Outside of heat maps,
measurement systems aren’t up to separating poorly producing assets
from those that perform well within the same page

1. Plan for the context – the audience,
industry, products involved, etc. and add
this as metadata
2. Search the CMS for reusable content
components, for example feature
overviews and solution lists
3. Review the existing material and
enhance or contextualize if necessary
4. Assemble the existing components into
a new outline or map
5. Identify missing content and write new
material to fill the gaps
6. Add new material to the CMS, ensuring
that it’s available for reuse and is
classified with descriptive metadata
7. Build the new document

Barriers to collaboration
Process
Lack of governance
Lack of feedback
Culture
Lack of incentives for reuse
Incentives for reinvention
Content
Inconsistent content types
Inconsistent classification

Lifecycle silos tie authoring to delivery
Formats tie content to authoring system
CIO Enterprise Content Center of Excellence | ©Copyright IBM Corp, 2014, 2015 @James_Mathewson @ditaguy • #intelcontent 26
Breaking down silos
• Build a bigger silo?
There’s no silo big enough to cover cross-
company reuse scenarios
• Integrate across silos?
Requires that every reuser have access to
every source system
• What about portable content?
Requires content that can be exported from a
repository with its structure, metadata, and
relationships intact
Requires independent, cross-vendor standards

  • 11. CIO Enterprise Content Center of Excellence | ©Copyright IBM Corp, 2014, 2015 @James_Mathewson @ditaguy • #intelcontent 11 Challenges with the current state • Content is page bound, which presents many challenges: oFindability: Page-bound content forces users to consume more than they need in order to find a few salient nuggets within them oShareability: Nobody shares pages. Users share assets—videos, infographics, articles, etc. oAdaptability: Large pages tend to turn into infinite scrolls when converted to mobile screens. Forcing users to consume the whole page to get the content they need is bad UX oMeasurability: Users of pages focus their attention on areas of the page and their clicks on particular assets. Outside of heat maps, measurement systems aren’t up to separating poorly producing assets from those that perform well within the same page
