Content Analysis: From Inventory to Insight

Content Strategy New England is pleased to welcome Colleen Jones, content strategist and Principal of Content Science.

Description
Understanding your content needs is the critical first step in your content strategy. Sure, it begins with a content inventory in a big spreadsheet. But that's not where it should end. How do you dig deeper? How deep should you dig? What will you discover? Using plenty of practical examples, Colleen Jones will reveal the important elements of content analysis.

As an enthusiastic pioneer in user experience, Colleen has guided strategic initiatives for large brands such as InterContinental Hotels Group, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), and Cingular Wireless (now AT&T).

    (although have to find a way to balance with Wonder Women of Boston event at the same time).

    Colleen's presentation on demystifying content analysis and making a case for why it needs to be an integral part of your content strategy, was brilliant. Everyone's questions at the end augmented the presentation and opened up a good discussion.

    Great event, super well organized, & very knowledgeable speaker.
  • Jim Spencer
    The speaker was first rate in her content, knowledge, poise, delivery and clear expertise. I learned a lot from this meeting and have a lot of admiration for the folks working in Content Analysis and Content Strategy. In fact it dawned on me tonight that this subject is sky rocketing in my estimation of its importance to my work. The audience was alert and engaged and asked thoughtful questions. There was even a nice spread in the back of the room including beverages, chips and dips and fruit and cheese.

    I enjoyed the topic and the conversation with the very diverse group of people at the meeting - am looking forward to the next meeting!
