Peter Bakker, Managing Director and Partner Empathy and essenceWhile many of us will try and erase the year 2020, it has deeply affected the world around us. It has stirred our human psyche and (re) ignited our more empathic qualities. This has also affected the way in which we create content — it has evolved to become more inclusive and empathetic to the audience(s) we are aiming to reach.

Let’s get this out of the way up front; white papers and e-books — not the same thing. Well, not entirely. Some elements are similar and overlap in both structure and design. The terms for the two content formats are used interchangeably often, especially by clients, who often have an idea in mind and care less about terminology and more about getting a piece of content that delivers.

When you read an article — whether it be online or in print — do our audiences, and even our clients, truly understand all the hidden layers and processes that have occurred to bring it to fruition? Do they see the minds, hands and hearts that have touched that content asset from inception to execution? Let’s use an analogy: an iceberg. The article itself — or video, infographic, EDM, or whichever content format has been created — is simply the…

As people, we desire things that we like, things that we want to do, things that we enjoy using, or experiences we want to have. Everyone’s different, so everyone desires different things, at different times of their lives and in different parts of the world. In every profession, people aim to make other people desire what they do, to prefer it versus what their competitors offer. Whether you’re a product designer, a florist, a chef, a realtor, a vet, partner…

As the recent COVID-19 challenges are reshaping all of our personal and work relationships it is time to wake up before our personal relationships start to deteriorate and our working environment becomes a zombie-infected corporate landscape that will significantly slow a potential economic recovery.
