In the realm of creating content, we’d all agree that ‘less is more’. At least in principle.
But efforts to distil are often followed with efforts to expand – especially in product marketing.
Here there’s an instinctive desire to cover everything that a technology is, does, achieves, costs and impacts. And inevitably this ends up being quite a body of content – not all of which is required by the customer.
Check out the meme, ‘Un-distilling’. Have you reduced content, only to have it expanded?
The challenges represented by ‘Un-distilling’ relate to:
- Head of Sales looking to arm their sales teams with short, punchy customer content
- Product or solution marketing managers needing to balance brevity and comprehensiveness in their product collateral
- Campaign managers trying to get the most concise articulation of the product engineered into the campaign flow and assets
