Creativity with a plan

When it comes to the digital environment, we are currently saturated with advertising. We see ads and sponsored content everywhere, much so that even social media platforms like Facebook faced the need to changed their algorithms to “declutter” our newsfeeds. This has become a big challenge from brands, trying to understand how to stand out from the crowd, and actually, reach their audiences with the right content. One of the biggest benefits from digital media is the ability to analyze data in real time, this makes not only understanding our audiences much easier, but it gives us the possibility to make adjustments in our campaigns to make them more effective.

This is where A/B testing comes to play. In simple terms A/B testing, also called split testing, let’s us test out variants of the same message. It could focus on colors, the different wording in a call to action, the placement of our logos or many more small changes that when tested end up being a decisive component in the performance of our communication.

Even if we as marketers believe we might know our audience perfectly, we truly can’t predict how will they react to certain content and how will the behave. That’s why when we are communicating with our potential buyers, testing is a great tool to our disposal to actually see real results and understand what message will work better and lead to better results.
