BFFs: Content designers and engineers. The perfect pairing.

Content designers are amongst the top 15 fastest growing roles in Australia for 2022. But, they are more than just writers. They’re systems thinkers, storytellers and people connectors. Their unique blend of technical and user experience knowledge can take products and projects to the next level.

This session will take you through the hidden talents of a content designer. You may just find the missing piece in your team.
