Episode 247: How Marketers Can Optimize Testing & Reap the Rewards
You’ve been doom-scrolling through your social media feed far too often lately and somewhere along the way, between silently refereeing flat- and hollow-earth arguments and signing petitions to bring back Knight Rider, you come across an obnoxiously immature joke that has you in stitches. Later, in a quiet moment before a meeting, your manager overhears you tell the joke — he cracks up. You’re instantly his new favorite. Filled with confidence, you try it on your CEO a couple days later… and she fires you on the spot. You tested it and it worked; how could everything go so wrong?
Today’s guest, Tim Parkin, Presiden t at Parkin Consulting, says this is a trap most marketers fall into when it comes to testing — without understanding why something works, they fail to gain the deeper insights from testing that can truly transform their business.
In this episode, he shares:
How to go beyond simple A/B testing and gain deeper insights
Why most marketers get testing wrong
How to set yourself up for testing success
