    Have you been invited to a content modeling session? Have you not been invited? Go through this lesson and find out what role content creators have during content modeling. The destiny is in your hands. You can ensure you’ll work in a well-configured system so you come to work happy and in a good mood.

    Good things take time

    Time pressure and a lot of tight deadlines have become a new standard. Therefore, saving time by speeding up the content modeling phase and omitting content creators is often very tempting. But is it worth it?

    Time to shine – help make the structure better! 

    Remember, nothing is set in stone; it’s also your role to shape what you work with.  Let’s say your managers who’ve built the content structure missed that different products use different units. For example, some insurance types are suitable for days, while others have their length in years. To adjust the structure of the content you create, reach out to your project manager and tell them what you need to change. It’s a quick and easy fix for both your project manager and your app or website developers. They can take care of it fast, and when they finish, you can serve your customers the right content they deserve.
    And hey, when you need to change the content structure after some time, it’s never too late. If you later decide you’d like to add, for instance, a separate section with testimonials, not a problem. It can be included without manually reworking the already done-and-published content.

    Is there more I can do?

    Sure! Shaping the content structure isn’t the end of your powers. Creating content is also about collaboration, and that’s another area you can influence.

    Tailor the visuals of your content

    As a content creator in Kontent.ai, you don’t need to worry about visual details like an exact image position, text alignment, or heading colors. All these visual aspects of content are designed and handled by your website or app creators. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have your say in it. On the contrary, don’t be afraid to speak up and help make it better! 🙂

    It’s all about collaboration

    When you need something changed, there’s always a way. As a content creator, your role is also to provide feedback. When you provide feedback,
    • you work towards a more pleasant editing experience for you and your coworkers,
    • you help your project managers and developers to ensure smooth and efficient content production,
    • and you make sure your organization’s customers get the best results possible.
    Everything happens in one place – Kontent.ai. And everybody has their own role. You’re the content creator who creates content, someone else is a project manager who manages workflows, users, and the content structure, and other people are developers who make sure the content works well on every device. And when all of you cooperate, amazing projects come to life!
