Websites tend to take on a life of their own, their growth fuelled by new products and services, changing brand campaigns, multiple publishers, constantly-shifting executive priorities, user-generated content, and more. Beyond the website, there are company blogs, Twitter feeds, press releases, email communications, and so on.
Content flows freely, rapidly flooding our customers with too much information and drowning its keepers (web editors and content managers) in the process. It is imperative a long term strategy is implemented to manage all this content.
