Hurtigruten Expeditions
The challenge
Content is critical for Hurtigruten Expeditions, a proof point of their unique, considered approach to travel. A platform refresh meant editing thousands of pages in a new format and tone, at a rapid pace.
The approach
Leading a team of six writers, I worked closely with the client on the brief and scope, then created and ran an editorial workflow that delivered volume and quality on time and budget.
This included
Assessing complex legacy content to outline the scope and approach
Workshopping the editorial brief with the client to define clear requirements
Briefing and overseeing writers, including training them on Contentful CMS
Creating and optimising a cross-team, cross-channel editorial workflow
Motivating and managing the team through an intensive delivery schedule
Working closely with third party agencies and clients across regions
This project involved solving brand problems on the fly, as existing guidelines couldn’t cover the range of scenarios we were dealing with. A deep understanding of the brand was essential for making and communicating quick judgement calls to keep the project on track.
The results
We delivered over 2,500 pages in 8 months, well ahead of the client’s launch deadlines – with the spirit of the Hurtigruten brand and quality of their offer shining through on every page.
