DDMA Experimentation Heroes: The Program
The DDMA Experimentation Heroes program is divided into three rooms, each focusing on a specific theme. Attendees can now select the case study that aligns best with their interests for a deeper dive. The event will be conducted entirely in English. Tickets are now available for purchase at: experimentationheroes.com.
New Category: Beyond Web
The DDMA Experimentation & Optimization Committee, creators of Experimentation Heroes, have meticulously reviewed the categories this year. The Omnichannel category has evolved into “Beyond Web”, retaining its core focus on optimizing a broad funnel both towards and within a website. The judging criteria include Open Rate, Return On Advertising Spend (ROAS), Click to Open Rate (COTR), Foot Traffic, as well as themes such as offline/online integration and channel experiments. Beyond Web emphasizes experiments extending beyond digital platforms. Consider experiments spanning from billboards to landing pages and vice versa. Moreover, the effectiveness of creative expressions and media types utilized for success are crucial considerations.
The Jury and Previous Winners
This year’s DDMA Experimentation Heroes jury comprises four industry experts: Lucia van de Brink (Increase Conversion Rate.com), Cameron van Uytrecht (Insight ProdX), Jorden Lentze (Booking.com), and Arnout van Scherpenzeel (The Sharing Group). The jury will evaluate all phases of the optimization process in submitted cases, from initial situations and hypotheses to actual testing and achieved results. Last year’s winners included PostNL (Conversion), TomTom (Experimentation Culture), and DELTA Fiber (Omnichannel).
