Oli Gardner, co-founder and creative director at Unbounce
If there’s one thing that Gardner doesn’t like, it’s poorly-constructed landing pages. He’s vented about that anathema in a recent blog post on Unbounce’s site, describing some of the worst ways marketers can set up those pages. As for tweets, Gardner doesn’t soft-pedal his opinions – he tweets about tactics in social media marketing and content marketing, as well as some thoughts on his own interests, like UFC matches.
