This is the first draft of the case study for Drivvn!
I've got a separate art request out with Lottie, and will now be sharing with the client for approval.
When I have the artwork, I will also organize formatting (internal linking, block-quote).
Add screenshots or screen recordings for visual / UI-focused changes.

Article checklist (to do after artwork and client review)

  • I've added (at least) 3-5 internal links to this new article
  • I've added keywords for this page to the rank tracker in Ahrefs
  • I've checked the preview build of the article
  • The date on the article is today's date
  • I've added this to the relevant "Tutorials and guides" docs page (if applicable)

@kevan-gilbert Can we get the formatting and other edits done before we share with the user, next time? Otherwise we're sharing an incomplete draft with them that has obvious mistakes (incorrect logo) and missing links, etc.

What if shopping for a new vehicle was a user-centered, seamless, thoughtful, online experience — no dealership required?

That’s the future Drivvn has been building. Supporting a network of more than 60+ automotive ecommerce providers, Drivvn is the digital engine behind global vehicle brands from Ford to Fiat. Known for creating brand experiences that are design-driven, human-first and still do great at the “selling” part — you’d almost think it was magic.

With this birds-eye view, and the ability to run experiments and changes, John’s team can report to their own customers on how well their branded digital experiences are performing. Through dashboards, the reporting area helps them have those conversations — and it’s the data that is changing people’s minds.

“With one customer, I would say they were very against this [experimental, data-driven, A/B approach,” says John. “We then did one small-ish change — as subtle as changing the CTA on one page. When we showed the benefit of that, suddenly it was like a lightbulb moment. It clicked: ‘I understand the benefit of that now.’ After that, they were very keen to continue doing that approach.”

“One of the reasons we went with PostHog was because of the wide range of features,” says John. “We're using analytics heavily today across all those brand experiences. We're doing lots of feature flags, and also experiments…all towards helping people get to a clear outcome.”

As someone who has been in engineering roles for more than a decade, John cares about the details. “We’ve used other tools like [MixPanel](https://posthog.com/blog/posthog-vs-mixpanel) and [Google Analytics](https://posthog.com/blog/posthog-vs-ga4), but I think the real thing that we were after was that it was third-party and cookieless.”

Yes, of course — that makes sense. I was under the impression you were asking me to do it this way (create the PR early and share with the user, despite not having artwork yet.)
