Human Centred Branding with Anita Siek

KATE TOON & BELINDA WEAVER
About this episode

Human-centered design is an approach to interactive systems development that aims to make systems usable and useful by focusing on the users, their needs and requirements, and by applying human factors and usability knowledge and techniques.

The point? To create a better experienced for real-life people.

On today’s podcast, we have a veritable whizz at all things human-centered, Anita Siek.

She’s going to explain what Human-Centred design is, how it applies to content and copywriting, and how we can use it to help our clients. Thank goodness!

Tune in to learn:

  • Anita’s journey to where she is today
  • How she grew Wordfetti and the challenges that she faced
  • Human-centred copywriting and content
  • Creative vs strategic copywriting
  • Diverse income streams and not scaling by humans

"This podcast has truly changed my career. There's zero fluff, 100% personality, and actionable advice. I've learned more from Hot Copy than anything else––grad school, previous jobs, online courses, etc. The hosts always talk about defining how you add value in your business and that's exactly what they do here. Added bonus? Now, this American knows what "whinge" means."
