Composable content: The catalyst for composable digital experiences
Today’s most successful digital brands create experiences that is disruptive, compelling, and informative. How do they do that? They use composable content — a strategy that enables them to scale content production to the level demanded by today’s dizzying proliferation of content channels.
Brands cannot create static, one-off content pieces and hope they get noticed. They need a new approach to creating and delivering engaging digital experiences — one that is flexible, scalable and adaptable. This is where composable content and composable digital experiences take center stage.
What is composable content?
Composable content refers to digital or multimedia elements, such as text, images, videos, or interactive components, that are structured. This means a given piece of content is composed of several elements, and each one of these can be used on its own — not through copy and pasting, but through code. This composable method allows for seamless integration, recombination and repurposing within various contexts and platforms. It’s designed to be modular and adaptable, allowing content teams to repurpose content already created to assemble new experiences to cater to different audience preferences, devices, or communication goals, hence the term "composable".
Benefits of composable content
The primary benefit of composable content is its inherent scalability. Because each element of a given piece of content is a standalone entity, it can be easily used – or not – depending on the requirements. For instance, if a business wants to expand its digital presence, it can simply create more content blocks that can be populated with content that already exists in new configurations, rather than redesigning entire pages or sites.
Composable content also fosters adaptability. With traditional content, changes can be time-consuming and costly as they often require extensive redesigns or rewrites. On the other hand, with composable content, businesses can quickly and easily update, add, or remove content blocks to adapt to changing market trends, customer preferences, or business strategies.
Each piece of content, whether it's an image, a paragraph, or a video, is a complete entity in itself. However, when you combine these pieces of content in different ways, you create composable digital experiences. These digital experiences retain the essence of the original content but present it in a new, adaptable form that caters to the unique needs and preferences of each user.
This ability to create diverse digital experiences from the same set of content blocks is what makes composable content so valuable in today's digital landscape. It allows businesses to deliver highly personalized, engaging experiences to their customers, driving customer satisfaction and business growth.
Personalizing digital experiences with composable content
To illustrate, let's consider a hypothetical case study. A global e-commerce company wants to enhance its customer experience. It decides to implement composable content. By creating content blocks for product descriptions, customer reviews, images and videos, it can easily assemble and disassemble product pages to cater to different markets. It can also personalize content for individual customers based on their browsing history and preferences. As a result, the company can deliver a more engaging and personalized experience, leading to increased customer satisfaction and sales.
Composable content supports omnichannel delivery. Customers interact with businesses through many channels, including websites, mobile apps, social media and more. With composable content, businesses can ensure consistency across all these channels. They can use the same content blocks on their website, in their mobile app and on their social media platforms, providing a seamless experience for their customers.
Plus, composable content enables rapid experimentation and innovation. Businesses can test different combinations of content blocks to see what resonates best with their customers, allowing them to continually improve and innovate their digital experiences.
