On today's rapid-fire (but stupidly long) riposte, Thack riffs on getting people to think differently about building astonishing content and customer-centric websites. A slice of different. That might never be topped. Here all week. This episode features a rant about there not being such a thing as a perfect world. You have been warned.

Content and the Pizza

Inspired by this week's goings-on I wanted to urge you to overcome the only challenges to becoming the deserved you. The real you. The one you lock away. Those challenges aren't real. They're not engineered to suppress you. They're inside your mind. And it's time to make them disappear...

Be the you

I half-officially unveiled my new event radio service today using Facebook Live as the platform. As you'll hear, that destroyed the sound quality. Which isn't the world's best advertisement for an audio service, but you get the gist. This is my passion. Tell your pals - if they've got a conference planned, I've got the goods they need to build an event that'll leave its attendees panting for more.

Event Radio Is Go!

A-ha is a Silicon Valley conference built by tech analysts CB Insights and making its debut December 12 and 13, 2017. CB Insights are among my favourite content creators and will doubtless make A-ha! a must-attend event on the global tech calendar. Thacknology checks in. And don't forget - if you want Thacknology on the scene at A-ha!, Tweet @CBInsights and tell them so.

A-ha! It's the best tech conference of 2017...

On today's hastily constructed Thacknology we're talking about 5 ways to give yourself some love. You're your most important customer. Don't neglect the only customer that decides whether you succeed or fail. That's you.

5 ways to build a better business

Think content marketing and your mind turns to articles and features and GETTING IT DONE. Pause. Instead of infuriation when the results don't come in, let's make this work. Let's think about who matters. About what matters to them. About everyone being aligned. And now, finally, let's start making magic...

Think Customer

On today's episode of Thacknology I'm sharing what it means to do four-walls marketing - the stuff that puts everything on the line about who you are and what you do to build deeper, more valuable relationships with your clients of today and tomorrow. Inside marketing is something we overlook. But when we're all on the same page, through consistent application of training and understanding of common processes - we become one. And the results - customer and business growth - are dynamite! Sell that sizzle!

Future of content marketing? Look inside...

This is a reality check. You can achieve whatever you want. Become your best. But first - put in the work. Don't be distracted. Just be your best.

Whatever you want: earn it.

I recently attended a user research and UX workshop at Media City in Manchester with PRWD, a conversion optimisation agency. Here are my thoughts.

Business building with user research

Liverpool's shipping from different ports and docks. The city bristles with technological innovation and it's people like Gav (and Ste, and Liam) at digital development agency Studio Mashbo leading the charge. Hear how Mashbo is charting and inventing the future, building a metropolitan brand jockeying for the Northern Powerhouse label.
