Stories will be told about you for marketing eternity. Where do I sign up?! 10‐12 HERO Exceptional. You humbly add value and meaning that grips emotion while making it look sooooo easy. Fans and advocates are sure to follow! 7‐9 SIDEKICK Nice work. Clearly, you're getting the hang of this! Are you satisfied with mediocre, though? You're capable of so much more. Step up your game and fulfill your true ROI potential. 4‐6 VIGILANTE Good attempt to help out, but you're lacking in power and authority. Drop the costume, focus on relevant value, and tap the 7 persuasive factors to help make a meaningful impact. 0‐3 CIVILIAN Weak and forgettable. You either fear or doubt your powers. Be brave. Start with a story that connects with your customer's dilemma and context, then "save" (fix, improve, delight) the day! < 0 VILLAIN Ouch. Your powers are working against you. Don't deny the goodness your customer loves. Seek help before it leads to your own demise.

PRIORITIZE OPTIONS & INTERPRET A/B TEST RESULTS :: Visual Marketing with Hero Shot Images | Angie Schottmuller @ThreeDeep #VWOwebinar ID Hypothesis Potential Importance Ease Reusability PIER 1 Adding a mobile‐specific click‐to‐call CTA button will boost leads. 10 9 6 8 8.25 2 Defaulting to "Products" tab will provide more relevance and better hook attention (reduce bounce) than the "Advantage" tab specifics. 8 8 9 7 8 3 Changing featured image from A to B scene on product page XYZ will improve relevance and aid conversion. 5 5 9 1 5 (Scoring above depicts WiderFunnel's PIE framework with my adaptation to include "Reusability" of insights learned.) HYPOTHESIS IDEAS & SCORING PRIORITIZATION Individual images typically have lower priority [PIER scoring] for A/B testing hypotheses since the learned insights lack reusability for impact across other marketing. The hero shot scorecard can provide a data‐driven approach to image selection in the short‐term, as well as help analyze micro factors to interpret the "why" of image test results. Use the scorecard as a data‐driven approach to selecting and analyzing images.

(Pulled a day later by city for fear of allergic response to the scent.) Kirsten Jung, age 14, a student at Sacred Heart, and Stephanie Jung, age 19, a student at the Fashion institute of Design and Marketing, both of San Francisco, made a special trip to this bus shelter after hearing about it, to smell the scent. Both said it did indeed smell like cookies, and yes, it made them want milk. Story is about the reaction to the chocolate smell wafting from Muni bus shelters with the "Got Milk?" ads. We go to the bus shelter on the NW corner of Sutter and Stockton Sts. Rachel Gordon is the writer for Metro. These photos were made on Monday, Dec. 4, 2006, in San Francisco, CA.
