What people say about Karl

  • I never saw anything similar to this. All attendees gave Karl a 5 star rating. My deep respect for that performance. I think it was the best I’ve ever seen.

    André Morys

    CEO Webarts en organisator Growth Marketing Summit in Frankfurt

  • Wonderful presentation, both in terms of content and the way he delivers it. Hitting the nail on the head with humour is something few people can do. Karl makes you experience and therefore remember where there is work to be done with your website.

    Mischa Verheijden

    Content Strategist, Marbles

  • Karl received by far the best ratings ever seen on Conversion Jam, the biggest CRO conference in Europe. And the second time he spoke here, the audience seemed to like him even more. Probably because Karl always delivers.

    John Ekman

    Chief Conversionista and organisor of CJAM in Stockholm and Oslo

  • Best UX entertainment of the year. Again.

    Jeroen van Velzen

    CEO, Sound of Data

Karl talks about:

  • Online marketing
  • Conversion rate optimisation
  • What does and doesn’t work online
  • The myth of digital disruption
  • The one thing you need to do to become and stay successful as a business.

His style?

Direct. Vibrant. Straight to the point. Expressive. Chock-full of humour. Not always subtle.

Watch Karl’s lectures to see for yourself:

→ Why you’re failing at digital marketing (and what to do about it)

→ How to Make Sure Your New Website Won’t be a Failure

→ Growth hacking tips that work on every website!*
*Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t. And sometimes they fail completely.
