11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. AMPP’s Version of “Turning Search to Found”: Mandy May, Director of Content Management, AMPP
In 2019, NACE International (The Worldwide Corrosion Authority) began to investigate what it would take to implement a content management (CM) effort – bringing together all content and categorizing it for discoverability. In January, 2021, NACE merged with SSPC (The Society for Protective Coatings) to form the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP). In December of 2021, the approval to move forward with a CM effort was received – now including the content from both organizations. This case study will be presented from the perspective of being on the front end of a taxonomy effort and how Access Innovations was key not only in creating one taxonomy representing both organizations, but in helping our newly merged staff and member leadership understand its importance.

9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Stakeholder Buy-in: Measuring Impact & Influence of Your Taxonomy Strategy – Patti Sweet, Director of Digital Strategy, Health Affairs
Health Affairs is the leading publication of health policy thought, research, commentary, and analysis. We produce both traditional, academic publications and non-traditional ancillary content like events and podcasts, designed to inform readers and connect a network of health policy thought leaders and practitioners.
As the organization pioneering development of the health policy taxonomy, Health Affairs works closely with Access Innovations as strategic partners in building the architecture and maintaining its efficacy in the field. But how do we know it’s working?
Patti Sweet, Director of Digital Strategy at Health Affairs, will showcase an entirely new way of measuring the impact and influence of the organization’s taxonomy strategy, including examples of how taxonomy impacts discoverability in traditional publishing channels like Pub Med and Google Scholar, as well as visibility in more consumer-focused channels, such as Google News and social media. As a result of building a measurement framework that links owned data sets (usage, Google Analytics) with market data sets (Google Trends, Google Search Console), the team is able to monitor the effectiveness of the taxonomy and easily demonstrate areas in which the brand has established and continues to establish themselves as the authority on priority topics and keywords.
In addition, Patti will preview the Health Affairs 2-year taxonomy strategy and roadmap for implementing a successful strategy with a lean team.
