“What a great session, and what an incredible week at CXL… what I enjoy the most is this:
Being around curious minds, leaving inspired to test, putting ideas into practice. having conversations that sharpen your thinking, asking (a lot of) questions, sorry, not sorry…
The SEO + n8n session gave me a lot to think about… honestly, I feel like a machine.”

A great deep-dive into building AI into marketing the right way… rethinking the workflows from the ground up.”
PR & Marketing | MBA
“How is AI affecting the role of a marketer? I have seen this question asked a hundred times and rarely seen a credible answer. CXL ran a webinar this week that actually delivered one.
It had a bit of a cold shower effect, just data and a clear-eyed look at where things are.”
Growth Experimentation | 500+ A/B Tests
“CXL changed my life. I’m not exaggerating, it actually did…
I got so deep in the content that a year later, in a completely unexpected turn of events, I was hired by Speero. Boom. Easily a 50x ROI right there.
