@nozurbinaAbstract
Responsive design can sometimes be thought of as the art and science of hammering
round pegs into square holes. Content that isn’t properly structured and controlled
with a solid content strategy can struggle to properly adapt to different display
contexts. Noz Urbina looks at how CS and UX professionals can work together to
engage and please users in a multi-device world using adaptive content.
Adaptive content is like lego-blocks, allowing you to craft many different perspectives
on your brand from reusable assets.

@nozurbinaContent and User Experience
• Great design can’t save
inappropriate content
• The more diverse the interaction
contexts, the more stretched
content will become
• Square peg + round hole =bad
experience
@nozurbinaAdaptive Content
• Content designed to adapt for
personalised, contextual delivery
in multi-channel, multi-format,
multi-device scenarios
• Can be:
– Transformed
– Filtered
• Because it’s got:
– No presentation information!
– Structure
– Rich metadata
– Built-in, in-line semantics
@nozurbinaAdaptive Content
• Adaptive Content enables contextually-appropriate
experiences by placing more meaningful (semantic)
metadata on small and specific bits of content. The same
asset can be leveraged for diverse situations and
audiences
Traditional Adaptive
@nozurbinaWhy Now?
• Omni- and multi-channel scenarios, responsive and adaptive
design, are raising the profile of Content Strategy and
AdaptiveContent
• It forces people to confront real optimisation of the content’s
role in UX
• Users expect more personalisation and brands benefit from
delighting them. Adaptive content enables better UX.
• Without adaptive content, optimising for so many contexts is
too impractical, slow and expensive!
@nozurbina
Adaptive content let’s you build many
unique experiences from the same
reusable building blocks
