Content Metrics Workshop
Workshop Abstract
Learn to measure content according to whether it fulfilled its business purpose rather than just numbers like hits, likes, and shares.
Whether your content is intended to empower people with knowledge or to persuade potential customers, this session will give you practical tips on improving your metrics approach. It looks at the common mistakes that content teams make when developing their measurement strategies and how to fix them. Attendees will learn to position content in a way that resonates with the organisation that funded it, and the users who consume it, by focusing measurements on audience journeys and top user tasks.
Looking back on two decades of project experience, Noz Urbina has become a little obsessed with measurement. Despite having more raw data than ever on content and user experience, content teams still measure their output with metrics like simple hits, likes, and shares. Instead, we should be measuring whether it fulfilled its reason for being.
See how businesses made strategic changes resulting in 10s, 100s, and even 1000s of percent improvements on their key content metrics.
Learning objectives
- How to avoid the common pitfalls in the content measurement landscape
- How to change the internal discussion around content to focus on what managers and users care about
- How to redefine content quality in a way that maps more clearly to business goals
- How other made high-impact changes to their measurement systems.
“It’s a keeper! The relationship between strategy and KPIs. This is so key to having the right conversation with biz leaders about content. Sometimes its not super clear how everything comes together. And it can be challenging to explain how your content work fits in.”
“Noz is a sensational workshop host and knows his subject very well. I liked the pace of the workshop, and he was very friendly and kind to respond to the live questions too, in the chat.”
