Director of Strategy
Corey Vilhauer is director of strategy at Blend Interactive, where he is responsible for leading the strategic design process with a focus on content strategy and information architecture. He has been with Blend since 2010, and helped create and build the company’s content strategy practice. He is a recovering advertising copywriter, a closeted fan of professional wrestling, and a playlist pack rat.
Corey is co-author of The Web Project Guide: From Spark to Launch and Beyond, a phase-by-phase book project that serves as an overview of the web process from ideation to post-launch governance. He also writes at length about methodology, writing for accessibility, and shoestring content strategy at Eating Elephant, and writes about other things at Corey Vilhauer dot com.
He is a multiple time Confab speaker and keynote, and has also led or spoken at dozens of conferences and workshops across three continents. His favorite record of all time is either Jawbreaker’s Dear You, Modest Mouse’s The Moon and Antarctica, or Ween’s The Mollusk.
Building and managing a web project is a big, complex process. With The Web Project Guide, we want to bridge those gaps to help understand how each stage of the website process fits in with the next.
