SXSW 2019
Alexa, Georgia, and the Future of Digital Content
Description:
Today, we're demanding more flexibility from the organizations we interact with, whether we're using the web, our phones or even our voices. But many brands are trapped in a web-focused approach that optimizes their content for a single website rather than a range of user experiences on diverse devices. For the State of Georgia, being a well-informed citizen used to mean jumping through many hoops, whether that meant a new information architecture or a chain of inscrutable web pages. With Ask GeorgiaGov for Alexa, Georgia's giving residents information they need without having to pick up the phone or power on a computer, all while transforming its web content to be voice-ready and channel-agnostic at the same time. Georgia's lessons can help you prepare your content to be future-ready too.
