About The Guest:
When I was 23, I started Vivid Labs as a marketing agency. We spent eight years running hundreds of campaigns and thousands of split tests. All told, we unlocked over $50,000,000 in revenue for our clients.
We were able to do that by focusing on the right balance of art and science in the marketing we created.
Today, I’m sharing the lessons we learned through the Goldpan Report newsletter, my book Snake Oil, and speaking engagements.
