Designing for trust – with Margot Bloomstein (9 Nov 2021)

In today’s economy, businesses need a new strategy to earn trust and help consumers and citizens make confident decisions. But undermining confidence is cynicism: it erodes trust in the media, government, public institutions, and consumer brands. To regain trust, we talk about empathy, transparency, and authenticity. But how do we get beyond those buzzwords—and what is the responsibility and opportunity for content strategists, UX writers, and designers to lead the way? The secret is in how we use content to empower our audiences: when we give more control to users, they put more trust in us. Examining what works among teams of all stripes and sizes, Margot will share examples from retail, publishing, government, and other industries to detail what you can do to meet unprecedented problems in information consumption. Learn how voice, volume, and vulnerability can inform your work to regain trust and lead your audience and organization from cynicism toward something far more productive: hope. ____ SPEAKER Margot Bloomstein is one of the most prominent voices in the content strategy industry.
