923: Pearmill Advertising: Growth, Creative, Conversion and Data with Nima Gardideh
Advertising aims to influence consumers to purchase goods. It serves as an informational and persuasive tool. The ability of a commercial to increase sales is the best indicator of its efficacy. Only when advertisements promise a benefit to the consumer can they increase sales. Every year, businesses spend enormous sums of money on advertising. Many of them really invest as much in their advertising as they do in revenue from their brands. Nonetheless, businesses should be dissatisfied with the return on their advertising investments. Less than a quarter of all advertising initiatives have any sustained impact on sales, and only around a third of all ads have a major immediate impact.
Nima Gardideh is the Co-Founder, President, and CTO of Pearmill, a tech-powered growth studio that combines creative artistry with precision digital marketing. With years of experience in the industry, Nima has developed a deep understanding of the science behind successful advertising campaigns. Today, Nima discusses the importance of systematizing the creative process, the value of data-driven decision making, and the challenges of staying ahead of the competition in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
