Omni-Channel Digital Strategy - Simple and Clear messaging

Any organization that has ever run a marketing campaign or has engaged a marketing partner would know that they need to have a clear and directed messaging strategy when targeting users through multiple channels.






What helps when you are looking at omni-channel digital strategy - specifically with respect to messaging - is what feeling or image does your organization evoke in your digital connection’s minds.

This is the reason why digital strategy is not something that can be easily consulted on by external agencies or a clear plan of action be provided for the organization to be put in motion.

What can instead be done is a set of practices, principles and guidelines that can drive a simple and clear messaging across channels.





Some good practices:

  • Simple message that is more relevant to the organization than the user segment
  • Messages that help send across a single trait of the organization. This helps it easier for connections across any channel to connect to the organization
  • The digital strategy can keep changing . However, the message tends to stay the same , thus helping digital connections make sense of any new direction or action the organization is taking.
  • This helps the organization when they change direction, since they can always take their digital connections along

Irrespective of the channel, if an organization can use the same messaging, it helps them connect better and easier.

Principles for developing systems that are anti-fragile

I have been trying to make sense of what anti-fragility means and how do I use that in my day job. As a Business Principal, I tend to work with the abstract but orchestrate a program of work that needs details. This makes my job a little difficult in the terms of designing for more self-preserving systems that preserve the spirit of the abstracted strategy or vision. I came across an article from Daniel Russo on anti-fragility and his attempt at creating a manifesto similar to the manifesto for agile software development. For more reading on Daniel Russo, here is his profile:  http://djrusso.github.io More reading from his paper here:  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877050916302290 This post is an attempt for me to understand what goes into developing a program that uses every opportunity to strengthen itself and achieve its objective - the vision.  I liked the approach of principles for developing systems that are anti-fragile.

User Personas

User Personas are a very good tool for the product owners, business analysts or product managers to be able to co-create with designers. It is predominantly a product of the user research and should not be an amalgamation of demographic data. It is the best way for us to list all scenarios that a persona would take when they want to attain a goal. It is predominantly used to build empathy with user, focus the team and build consensus in a large diverse stakeholder group.
