The days of “”Launch and See”” marketing are behind us. Marketers, business owners and CMOs aren’t waiting for the results of campaigns. They are building conversion optimization into their design process.
Brian Massey has been a driving force in this process. Based upon thousands of tests on the websites of companies of all types and sizes, he’s developed a proven, repeatable way to build high-performing digital campaigns, from ad click to purchase. And he’s going to teach it to you.
