- 60. Creating Your UserTasks ■ Start with tasks the user would need to complete a particular objective or goal – Review business goals, objectives, etc. – Define key consumer objectives (Purchase a product, download a paper, create a profile) – It may be helpful to put yourself in the mind of the consumer by stating: I would like to… ■ Support a product I have purchased ■ Upgrade a product ■ Find a career 1 May 2015 Fundamentals of Omnichannel Content Strategy 60
- 61. Determine Which UsersComplete Which Tasks ■ Use personas and segments to plot out which users perform which tasks – A persona tells you who the user is from a behavioral point of view – A segment tells you who the user is from a demographic point of view ■ Consider for each persona or segment a user state. User states could include: – Anonymous—we know nothing about her – Repeat visitor—she comes to our site or properties – Existing consumer—she has used our products or services and created a user profile with us – Influencer—she writes about us 1 May 2015 Fundamentals of Omnichannel Content Strategy 61
- 62. Define the triggerfor each task ■ Define the triggers for each task: – A trigger is what sets the journey off in the first place and executes the first task. (e.g., An ad on TV which advertises a product and inspires the user to Google it) ■ Triggers can be passive and active – Active: when a user has a particular need (buy a new dress, create a recipe, etc.) – Inactive: when a user is inspired to complete a task based on an ad he or she sees ■ Ask yourself: What would cause the user to initiate the task? ■ Note, there may be several triggers, but knowing these inform the type of journeys to create and help you figure out the first step in the 1 May 2015 Fundamentals of Omnichannel Content Strategy 62

- 68. Additional Considerations ■ Onejourney may require several sub-paths or decision trees. Capture what you feel are primary decisions within the journey. – The point of a journey is that it makes assumptions around a user’s path so that you can determine which content to serve up; if it is incorrect, you can modify as needed ■ Build out journeys for one task at a time, accounting for all personas. For each persona, you may require a separate worksheet in Excel. ■ Some personas may end up sharing the same steps within a journey 1 May 2015 Fundamentals of Omnichannel Content Strategy 68
- 69. Complete the Mapping ■Validate exercise with key stakeholders ■ May require user testing to document assumptions ■ Refine as needed – You should plan to validate the journeys after you launch the project through testing and ongoing measurement of content – Journeys may change as user behavior changes and new technologies enter into the market 1 May 2015 Fundamentals of Omnichannel Content Strategy 69
- 70. Exercise Instructions ■ Assumethe following trigger: – A user has created a recipe using All Dressed Up dressing for a party and guests ask for him/her to share it ■ Assume the following persona and user state: – User State: Artisanal Millennial; User State: Anonymous ■ Create a list of tasks (e.g., share a recipe) and define the content necessary to support it (Kevin to demonstrate) 1 May 2015 Fundamentals of Omnichannel Content Strategy 70
