UX Meetup May 18: Content Strategy with Kristina Halvorson

Happy spring Twin Cities UX’ers –

Our next UX Meetup is May 18, 6-8pm at Wilde Roast. Come join us to learn from Kristina Halvorson of BrainTraffic and discuss Content Strategy.

In the traditional website design process, content requirements definition happens as information architecture develops. In theory, this should successfully set the stage for content development. However, once content development actually begins, projects often implode. Content is late, poorly written, disorganized, and almost never user-focused. The list goes on.

Everyone who attends gets a chance to win a $50 gift card for Wilde Roast! Thank you to Gomoll Research + Design, Inc. for sponsoring this event!!

Please note, as usual this event is not a full presentation, but primarily an open conversation amongst everyone. Our topic expert will provide a brief introduction to the topic and then provide expert insight throughout our conversations. Bring your questions and/or experiences to share. Everyone is welcome.
