Keynote Session Details 🔎
The Art of Conversions in a Data-Driven World – Mikael da Costa, Leadoo
Marketers and sales teams have never been more reliant on data. However most websites convert at most a single-digit % of visitors into leads, and in many cases, 2% and under. Leadoo founder Mikael da Costa will talk about how this disparity inspired him to build and perfect a conversion platform, and how modern marketers should treat conversions as both an art and a science to truly start turning website traffic into commercial success.
Testing, testing: Optimising your way to more conversions – Jack Brown, Hallam
Discover the secrets to unlocking the full potential of your paid advertising. In this talk, we’ll show you how to structure tests, implement the activity and interpret results to boost conversion rates. You’ll walk away with actionable tips that you can put into practice right away to optimize your advertising campaigns and see real results!
CRO EEAT or Eat Crow: How trust signifiers can convert customers and satisfy searchers simultaneously – Alex Murphy, Balance
CMO and Founder of the financial services digital marketing agency – Balance, Alex Murphy will draw on his experience at organisations like The Royal Mint, GoCompare and Admiral to explain how fulfilling Google’s organic E-E-A-T guidelines is not just an SEO imperative, but a conversion one too.
Are Facebook ads still relevant in 2023? – James Urquhart, Let’s Run Marketing
The buzz around Facebook Ads seems to be polarising. Some are shouting “Facebook Ads Are Dead” and “Facebook Is Failing,” while others sing its praises, touting it as the reigning champ of social networks that you’d be foolish to ignore. Which side should you believe when it comes to capturing more conversions? Find out from James.
The power of combining search and UX – Rachel Tooke-Marchant and Barnie Mills, Crafted
In this talk we’ll highlight the conversion superpower of bringing the disciplines of SEO and UX together. We’ll provide insight into how we’ve made it a reality with recent client stories and leave you with a fresh perspective on what UX success looks like.
