A Case Study with Bleacher Report
Homerun Headlines
"The biggest change for us is the freedom Engaged Headline Testing allowed us. The freedom to take more risks when writing headlines. The freedom to really get creative." - Travis Hunter, Front Page Manager, Bleacher Report
-
THE GOAL
Hone the craft of writing unique, attention-grabbing, traffic-generating headlines to drive Bleacher Report’s loyal homepage audience into the site itself.
-
THE OPPORTUNITY
To maximize internal site traffic, Bleacher Report knew that they needed better headlines, and that’s where Chartbeat came in. They started testing their headlines with the very audience whose attention they wanted to keep. Engaged Headline Testing ensured that their headlines both grabbed users’ attention and positioned engaging content. Just as well, Engaged Headline Testing speedlined Bleacher Report’s process of decision-making.

THE RESULT
Before Chartbeat, writers at Bleacher Report would vote on headlines over instant messaging, leading to confusion and some lackluster headlines. Now, their audience decides. Efficient and accurate.
