Sentence 34

Before
AB Corp's digital advertising increased the e-commerce company’s sale figure by X and per user session time increased by two times, giving an average sale of X.

 After:
AB Corp's digital advertising increased the sales figures of the e-commerce company by X and the per-user session time by double, resulting in an average sale of Y.

 Notes:
Do not use the possessive of 'company'. It is a non-living thing, although it may be argued that a company is made of its people:) For the sake of grammar, it is a non-living thing.

 Replaced 'by two times' to 'by double' since it sounds better.

 You don't 'give' an average. # word choice.

Sentence 66

Before However, I believe there are a few truths that the frenzy over growth hacking often tends to gloss over or miss. After However, in all the frenzy raised by growth hacking, I believe there are a couple of truisms that are often glossed over. Notes: Truth vs. Truism - Word Choice few truths vs. couple of truisms There were only 2 truisms raised in the article from which I took the 'before' version. So I felt it more appropriate to say 'couple of truisms'. Rephrased the 'after' sentence for clarity of thought and expression.

Before The timelier and more enhanced the insights, the greater an organisation’s ability to stay ahead.  After Timely insights enable an organisation to stay ahead.  Notes: 'The timelier and more enhanced the insights' is not parallel. So I have rephrased. Also, timelier? We only say timely. Do not say 'organisation's' , i.e, do not form the possessive of a non-living thing.  Have also cut down the sentence for brevity.
