Scott Field
Sector Leader, Google
In previous roles, Scott was the Director of Search at both a media agency and a direct online advertiser, so he has been on the receiving end of Google customer service! While trying to maximise performance from Google's suite of ad products, Scott became convinced that Conversion Rate Optimisation techniques and better User Experience design were just as important to improving performance as smarter ad buying. This eventually led to the inaugral Conversions at Google event in 2012 which is now happily in entering it's 5th year of existence. During the daytime, Scott leads a team of account managers who work with the top French retail and travel brands.
