Session - Accelerating Your Journey: How a Culture of Experimentation Can Lift Your Results

In an information packed session, we’ll give you a crash course in using testing to deliver bigger results and priceless insights. It’s a game in two halves: first of all we’ll give you the ‘how to’ and then we will give you the opportunity to guess ‘which test won?’ and then learn what actually won and why. 

 

Marketing experimentation is probably the most fun you can have in our industry because it’s not about boring stats it’s about revelation and working smarter.

 

In this session, delegates will hear from The Smith Family’s head of marketing, Lisa Allan and The Works agency’s strategy partner, Douglas Nicol.
