Standardising how marketing campaigns get briefed, tested and templated on the Nedbank open web.

The seven-step A/B testing standard: hypothesis (if/then/because), primary and guardrail metrics, control vs. variant design, a 50/50 random split, the sample-size and duration plan, pre-launch quality checks, and a win/no-difference/loss decision.

Campaign work landing on the Nedbank open web site had no consistent briefing standard across business units, making it hard to hold campaigns to clear KPIs or reuse components between them.

Without a shared briefing and testing standard, stakeholders were making campaign decisions without agreed measures of success, and design/dev effort was being re-spent on components that already existed.

Product design lead for the commercialisation squad.

Authored and rolled out a campaign briefing document that forced clear KPIs, measurement sources and reusable-component identification before a campaign could be built; built a companion A/B testing document to get stakeholders to commit to a hypothesis and an expected uplift before testing; developed campaign templates with component-level content guidance for authors.

Worked with business-unit stakeholders to educate them on why the briefing information was required, and with authors on the content limitations of each templated component.

The reusable component library (navigation, hero, image block, offer card, feature list, testimonial, accordion, form, call-to-action and footer) mapped to the four campaign templates that assemble from it.

Standardised how campaigns were briefed and delivered across business units, with templates and briefing documents adopted into live use.

This case study needs a stronger business-outcome metric (e.g. campaign velocity or conversion change) before it can carry equal weight with the featured three. Flagged as an open item pending more data from Craig.

A four-way A/B test comparison card: Control (Experience A) at 24,541 visitors and 38.83% conversion versus Variants B, C and D, each showing negative lift (-14.48%, -19.91%, -22.04%) and lower confidence, with the control marked as the winning experience.
