We spend countless hours toiling over our work. But then we do something strange, even stupid. We take all that hard work, passion and our shiny creative alchemy, and march it into its debut with little-to-no preparation. We say, “The work should stand on its own…”, as though Darwin is suddenly in the conference room. Then it happens — you have a terrible presentation, the work dies, and you have to start over. This outcome is avoidable, and Rahmin Eslami, executive creative director at Hornall Anderson and SVC instructor, will advise you on how steer clear of creative presentation misfires with a bit of preparation and practice.

[CXL Live 16] When, Why and How to Do Innovative Testing by Marie PolliCXL

- why growth is based on companies finding winning tests faster
- how we did that at growth hackers
- how other companies do it (HubSpot, Twitter, more)
- how to start hacking and start growing

[CXL Live 16] The Grand Unified Theory of Conversion Optimization by John EkmanCXL
Optimizers love models. And there’s plenty of them. The Prospect awareness scale. The LIFT model, the ResearchXL model. But John grew tired of trying to explain how they all fit together and when to use what model. So he took a shot at creating ”one model to rule them all”. Will he succeed? You will be the judge.

[CXL Live 16] Fight Back Against Back by Rand FishkinCXL
Web marketers have never faced a more dangerous time to have their visitors hit that "back" button. Facebook, Google, and even Twitter are measuring engagement and punishing the sites and brands that lose too much of their audience to an "I'm outta here" click. We've moved from a world where conversion rate optimization happens only in the purchase funnel to one where converting from a 5-second visitor to a 45-second, more engaged visitor who leaves with an answer is hugely important.
In this presentation, Rand will show how Google's Rankbrain, Facebook's engagement algorithms, and other platforms' metrics are transforming this landscape and what web marketers can do to fight back.
[CXL Live 16] Beyond Test-by-Test Results: CRO Metrics for Performance & Insi...CXL

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

• BUT for simple composition charts, a well-done pie can suffice.
• If you MUST use a pie, use chart best practices tomake it digestible.
• Are you going to let Excel’spuky default color formatting decide what
matters to your executives?? NOH!
• The same recipe for a better pie can be applied to all charts.
