-Customer Analytics and conversion rate optimization My name is Corey and I am a digital marketer by trade and passion. I’m currently the Marketing Director at Code School, based in sunny Orlando, FL. We were recently acquired by the fantastic team at Pluralsight. About a year ago I discovered that I also enjoy teaching. Since then, I’ve released a book (available on Amazon) and a course on Google AdWords. The book launched with over 5,000 downloads in the first week and my course currently has over 10,000 students. I’ve also been working on a URL builder tool for marketers that adds UTM tracking codes onto URLs, shortens them, and saves them for later use and analysis. It is a work in progress, but I am excited in the direction that the product is heading. Outside of work I enjoy traveling, photography, movies, and playing golf –I played football in college at the University of Central Florida, but just stick to watching nowadays. I am also trying to teach myself design with Sketch, my new favorite Mac app.
