Ryan Webb is a Conversion Optimisation Consultant with 25 years of Digital Marketing experience. As part of the team at Bind Media (a Paid Media agency offering Data, Tech, Conversion Optimisation and Performance Creative solutions), he spends his time conducting both Quantitative and Qualitative research on websites to find the opportunities for long-term improvements.
His clients want to generate more leads, sell more products and gain more eyeballs. In this talk he’ll explain how enterprise level clients continually experiment and research to improve their websites’ effectiveness and he’ll show you how you can do the same, on a much smaller budget.
Our panel will be answering all of your questions on social media as it is developing now, and what we think is coming next.
We’ll cover topics like:
– Who the current big players are
– What the upcoming social media networks are
– What the future role of social media will be
– Changes in direction for platforms
