The judges are pleased to announce that the Intercom Outstanding Article Award goes to Alyson Riley, Andrea L. Ames, and Eileen Jones for their article, “Telling the Right Story: Proving the Business Value of Content” in the May 2013 issue of Intercom.
The citation reads:
For highlighting the need to prove the business value of content; for connecting data and storytelling with business goals like revenue streams, ROI, and successful conversions; for providing a direct tie between the content that technical communicators produce and the key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics that drive broader business. The article inspires and resonates with technical communication practitioners, their colleagues and managers alike.
The Intercom Outstanding Guest Edited Issue goes to Alan J. Porter for the May 2013 issue, with a theme of content strategy.
The citation reads:
For guest-editing an issue of Intercom that provides readers with an essential primer to the growing field and discipline of content strategy; for compiling articles that showcase job growth, technologies and methodologies, vision, and alignment with other disciplines.
