Moderating Experimentation Elite with Joe Doveton and David Mannheim

Welcome to nohacks.show, a weekly podcast that lets smart people talk to you about better online experiences!

This is another episode done as part of our partnership with Experimentation Elite.

In this episode, I talked to Joe Doveton, founder and CEO of Binary Bear Limited, and David Mannheim, author of "The Person in Personalization" and founder at Made With Intent, for a deep dive into the world of experimentation and conversion rate optimization (CRO). 

The discussion pivots around the upcoming Experimentation Elite event in London, where both guests are set to moderate. They share their unique perspectives on the evolution of CRO, the role of personalization in the digital landscape, and the future of online retail experiences. 

David discusses his journey as an author and the development of his analytical platform, Made With Intent, which aims to understand user intent for e-commerce sites. 

Joe provides insights into the challenges faced by companies at the early stages of their optimization journey and emphasizes the importance of CRO as a long-term commitment rather than a short-term fix.
