    In "I, No one", Helen Andreou, issues a radical call to arms: it’s time to stop designing for the eye and start architecting for the mind.

    By using the V-Shape Framework, Interaction Thinking, content-first design and the precision of neuro-linguistics, we can dismantle the ego-driven supply chain and replace it with a content-first revolution.

    It’s about using agentic AI and behavioural science to restore truth, clarity, and meaning to our interactions. We don’t need more influencers. We need the world’s observers. We need the invisible power of the commercial writer who can architect meaningful journeys and immersive digital experiences.

    Because when everyone is screaming for attention, the most powerful person in the room is no one.

  • 4Cs of Interaction Thinking

    Map out content-led digital experiences

  • Get efficient and positive outcomes

    Bridge the gap between marketing and UX to create immersive, cohesive and holistic CX

    Interaction Thinking reorganises journeys to be content-led

    By understanding that people online don't look at anything in isolation and their behaviour isn't linear, you're building a robust model that caters for everyone's needs at the point they're triggered into interacting with your brand, either passively or actively.

    So they're never lost in the journey and always get to their destination from Connection, Capture, Choice and Conversation to achieve strategic and commercial goals, as well as positive outcomes for your audience.

    Benefits include:

    Improved operations

    Content-led design means the templates and components on your website or app are optimised to host the most important items across your digital estate, the content.

    Make copy discoverable and scannable, plus improve interaction with the ability to have the right content, in the right place, at the right time and in the right format. For that to happen, content needs to be at the forefront of digital transformation, from choosing the platform to building functionality.

    Interaction Thinking puts the whole journey at the centre of digital design by ensuring that not only does the website function, but also people using it have a joyous experience.

    And as it pulls together all the functions, you get efficiencies in messaging, reduce duplication of content and effort and build tighter teams with a definite remit.

    Building seamless CX across the business

    Consistency in messaging and output leads to better outcomes. This is achieved through Interaction Thinking.

    It also means there won't be wasted effort and budget on building functionality or creating social media content that doesn't perform because it's hidden or doesn't resonate with what the business says or does.

    Every word works hard for your business. And by using AI, Interaction Thinking means your business raises the game to inspire innovation and disruption.

  • What's Interaction Thinking?

    Online behaviour isn't linear or siloed. Strategically mapping the intersectionality of the content audiences interact with leads to better outcomes.

    By considering customer and business objectives as an end-to-end journey, instead of fragmented solutions to a particular problem, you create better results, experiences and efficiencies.

    1

    Connection

    Content is the thread that links marketing with digital, which audiences follow from channel to channel, around and back again.

    Interaction Thinking is a triptych loop based on tangent behaviour patterns seen when audiences are passively or actively triggered to answer a particular question.

    2

    Capture

    Catering predominantly to passive triggers, engagement content could be sought by active triggers looking for an emotional connection to the brand.

    This content is the 'heart', designed to make audiences FEEL something.

    This could be evergreeen lifestyle, inspirational content and fast-paced trend content seen on social media or CRM.

    3

    Choice

    The middle of the tangent loop provides educational, informational and reasons to believe content.

    It's the 'head' phase that makes audiences THINK. It's crucial for both active and passive triggers but leans more into active.

    Audiences dip in and out of this content to feel confident, to verify decisions and get help and specific questions.

    4

    Conversation

    This is the bread and butter of your business. The ultimate objective of content is to lead here.

    Content with purpose acts as the 'hand' to DO something and is the point every journey has to get to in order to achieve business goals.

    Content in this loop includes chatbot, web forms, ID verification, navigation, 404 screens, error messages, success screens, basket and logged in.
