The Marketing Book PodcastAndi Robbins, Integration Director at Riester, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss account managers and ways to collaborate effectively on content.
Stop, Collaborate, and Listen!
The customer is always right, right? This may seem like a cut and dry statement, but in reality, the answer can be a little more complex. In the content world, this can often cause tension when you have a content team working to create the best content possible and an account manager whose primary objective is to keep the client happy.
Having a content team and an account manager square up to defend separate objectives is a surefire way to end up with a less than stellar product. When it seems like the client and the content team are suggesting two different things, it’s important to remember that everyone is on the same side. The ultimate goal isn’t just to pacify a stressed-out client or even to create a breathtaking piece of art. The goal of any project is to help the client achieve their business objectives—and the client might not know what that looks like.
Whichever side you may sit on in this scenario, everyone is at the table for a reason. As Andi Robbins of Riester says, “Be a part of the conversation. Don’t dominate it.” You may be surprised at the value of an opinion you might otherwise ignore, and you will certainly set yourself up to create a better final product.
