In episode 38 of Marketing Mantra, I'll be joined by our special guest, Lukas Haensch, co-founder of Pathmonk. Lukas has an extensive background in conversion optimization and UX. In fact, he describes himself as a UX Conversion "nerd." Before he founded Pathmonk, Lukas worked at Google for quite some time as UX Manager in the mobile optimization team.
The theme of this episode will revolve around improving the performance of your website on mobile devices and optimizing your site's page speed to increase conversions.
