What we learned along the way...• Content Strategy + UX = Art + Copy
• Working with UX automatically emphasizes audience when creating content
• Less lorem ipsum when wireframing - we know what we’re working with
• Helps to focus the design process
• Cross-training between Content Strategy + UX
• Easier to provide evidence for decisions
• Reduced surprises during production phase
