NEW PRODUCT TERMINOLOGY

Sabine Lehmann
Why do we even need "Resources" , when did we use this concept? If at all "Resources" was used as short version of "Linguistic Resources". Therefore we could take it out. I don't think we actually use actively "Guidance" either.

ACROLINX ESSENTIALS

Out-of-the-box guidance package based on best practices from hundreds of customers.

ACROLINX ESSENTIALS

The Acrolinx Essentials helps you to get up and running quickly.• Selection of guidelines which apply to any content.• Optimized for the conversational style you’ve come to

expect from marketing and support.• Guidance features our new, brighter tone of voice.

Deb Symons
[email protected] same here any other design we could use instead of bullets?
Wolfgang Lipper
The only screen we have we use already on slide 6.

ACROLINX ESSENTIALS

Ideal for:• New Acrolinx users• Onboarding new groups and/or departments

in existing deployments• General, non-specialized content

You can use Acrolinx Essentials to get started and then add your custom guidelines later.

GUIDANCE WIZARD

Help Acrolinx learn what terms and guidelines you need.

Wolfgang Lipper
Why we are not consistent with page titles?
Wolfgang Lipper
Should that be changed?
Deb Symons
Not sure what you mean here..do you mean following the bullets on the cover page or style of the title?

GUIDANCE WIZARD

• Analyzes all the content Acrolinx has seen• Highlights and helps manage the most frequent:

- Style guidelines- New words in your content

• Lets you get started quickly and keeps your Acrolinx up-to-date

Andrew Bredenkamp
I don't like all the whitespace here - can't we vertically centre the text on these slides?
Wolfgang Lipper
But then we are not consistent with all left aligned text in all presentations: we want that?
Andrew Bredenkamp
Not horizontally centered, vertically centered. --Andrew (mobile)
Sabine Lehmann
Here we use "writing guidance". Why not just "guidance"? I thought that was the official term.
Sabine Lehmann
additional comment: we have "writing guidance" versus "voice guidance"?

Specific guidance for writers on how to improve the clarity of your content.

VOICE GUIDANCE

VOICE GUIDANCE

• Builds on the Acrolinx Voice Score and adds guidance while editing a document

• Delivers guidance based on your selected targets• Impacts the Acrolinx Score• Offers suggestions for improvement• Voice Guidance for Clarity is available in Acrolinx

Deb Symons
[email protected] for slide 6&7 could you either consolidate the bullets or is there another design you could use instead of bullets. Slide 7 only has 3 bullets
Wolfgang Lipper
We already use the best Voice Guidance Screens on Slide 11 and 14. If we want to insert another visual it should display what is written in the Text - but we have nothing what shows that.
James Longbotham
Do we want to mention when it will be added for other voice characteristics?

VOICE GUIDANCE

• Analyzes the entire document• Points to the section of the document that can be

improved• Provides specific guidance for the issues it finds

VOICE GUIDANCE

Makes it simple for you to evaluate and score large volumes of content.

CONTENT ANALYZER

NEW INTEGRATIONS

Create amazing content no matter where you write.

CONTENT CONNECTIONS 2016

This FREE, one-day virtual conference brings together leading keynote speakers and cutting-edge brands to help you understand the hottest topics in content marketing. You’ll learn from industry giants such as Joe Pulizzi, Robert Rose, Ann Handley, Scott Brinker, Andrew Davis, Jeff Bullas, and more — all from the comfort of your computer.

Wolfgang Lipper
What do we write here? And what Visual should appear here?
Deb Symons
The title should be Content Connections 2016 an we are using the visual from the Content Connections Landing page. We want to end the presentation announcing Content Connections
Deb Symons
This slide looks fine for the Europe presentation but we also have the US presentation and this slide will make no sense. Are you building a new slide for the US or should I just include the visual that was here before
Christiaan Myrberg
The final sentence here needs some editing. Can we change it and take a new screenshot? I propose:"Following the German-speaking conference on November 2, acclaimed speakers Doug Kessler, Rahel Anne Bailie, and Mathias Maul — as well as clients such as Alan Miller from RS Components — will be sharing their insights for the European region on November 3."
Wolfgang Lipper
We cant display the whole text from the Landingpage because of readability. Text would be to small to fit on that format.
