Casey Hill is the CMO of DoWhatWorks, a platform that tracks public A/B test data from hundreds of the world's top brands and surfaces what actually wins. In this episode, Casey shares what the data says about some of the most debated website decisions in marketing: logo bars, video heroes, strike-through pricing, exit intent pop-ups, badge walls, and more. He also breaks down the distribution-first content philosophy that drives 30 to 40% of his company's closed enterprise business directly from LinkedIn, and his prediction for where personalized website experiences are heading. This is the episode for any marketer who wants to stop guessing and start backing decisions with real data.
