Navigating Reduced Attention Spans
Acknowledging the challenge posed by dwindling attention spans in the online sphere, Sumner stressed the importance of strategies that effectively cut through the digital noise.

Heuristics and Biases in Decision-Making

Practical Applications and Testing
Sumner advocated for the practical application of testing heuristics and biases across various online environments. This includes search listings, landing pages, and emails, providing brands with a deeper understanding of what resonates with both human audiences and AI. The result is an enhancement in performance metrics such as click-through rates, revenue generation, and team efficiency.
Building Trust through Consistency

Continuous Testing for Optimization
Sumner's talk concluded with a call for continuous testing of strategies to gain insights into customer behaviour. This approach facilitates the ongoing optimization of content and approaches, acknowledging the dynamic nature of the online landscape.
