This week on the Engaging Marketeer, I'm joined by my good friend and colleague Daryl Vickers. Daryl is the founder of the networking group Networx, operating in various locations throughout Cheshire, North Wales and the Wirral.

In this episode, Daryl and I are discussing the journey that he has gone on since founding Networx. This includes his motivations in starting the company to begin with, the things that make Networx different to other networking companies, as well as Daryl's own personal battles with cancer that are still currently ongoing.

This week on the Engaging Marketeer, I'm joined by a marketing expert that also happens to be a massive Doctor Who nerd. No, I've not cloned myself, it's Ross Brown!

Ross and I are combining our common interests into an in depth conversation that seamlessly transitions between Ross' career beginnings, to the current state of the digital marketing industry, to Ross attending his own wedding reception dressed as David Tennant's Doctor Who.

This podcast is great viewing for anybody passionate about either Doctor Who or marketing, and is a must-watch for anybody that's lucky enough to be both!

Welcome to another episode of the Engaging Marketeer podcast. I'm afraid it's going to get a little bit ranty on today's episode, unfortunatley. Yet again, I find myself being asked a question almost non-stop that has a fairly simple answer, however, it doesn't seem to resonate with some people.

If you are considering asking a marketing agency to give your website more traffic in order to generate more leads and sales, please listen to this podcast in advance. It may save you quite a lot of time, money and some awkward conversations along the way. I'm a bit fed up of telling people the same thing, so hopefully this podcast will help anyone that's quite confused about whether they should be investing in paid methods of website traffic.

If you enjoy this podcast, please feel free to follow the Engaging Marketeer on whichever podcast platform you use, and don't forgot to leave us a like, comment or review if you've got something to say about what you've heard. We hope to see you again next time.

In this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I'm talking to a man who has used his military background to find success in another field, Marshall Townsend II. Marshall is a business leadership coach and mentor for companies, whose methods derive from his days teaching tank warfare in the United States military.

Here, Marshall and I are discussing everything about the nature of his work, from his introduction, some of the best results he's seen from people and, crucially, his excellent 'Mark your ball' parable that combines his leadership skills with his love for the game of golf.

Huge thank you to Marshall for coming on the show. You can check out his company MT2Leadership to stay up to date with his work and get in touch with him about speaking opportunities.

In this episode of the Engaging Marketeer podcast, I am joined by Nick Arkell, one of the amazing web designers at Engage Web, for a discussion on all things web design. While I hoped that we’d be able to inspire people that want to become web designers, our suspicions that this will just turn into two grumpy old blokes moaning about web design and how things have changed was more or less how it turned out.

Nick and I are discussing how he got started in web design, the many changes that have occurred in the industry since, as well as the MANY things that cause the most inconvenience as a web designer.

How many people have been inspired to grow an eight-figure business by daytime television?

Well, Toyin Ayandare is one of them! While watching Homes Under the Hammer, she started to ask herself what was stopping her doing this herself?

Not a lot, it turned out. She learned plenty along the way, but she's had the courage, determination and desire for knowledge to make a huge success of it. Unfazed by the male dominance of the industry, she's ditched the nine-to-five routine and built a stunning property portfolio, specialising in serviced accommodation.

Today's podcast is a must-listen for anyone attracted to the world of property, not to mention anyone who finds themself sat in front of TV thinking of what else they could be doing.

On today's episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I'm joined by copywriting and SEO expert Kate Toon. Kate is a pioneering figure when it comes to copywriting and the early years of SEO, and after achieving great success in the digital marketing industry, now teaches the next generations about what she's learned through her online training courses and programs.

Kate and I are talking about a range of topics relating to her career in the industry. We start by diving into the issue of sexism in digital marketing, with Kate delivering her thoughts and experiences throughout her career, before Darren and Kate discuss her transition into teaching about the industry rather than simply existing within it. This discussion is a fantastic listen for any copywriting and SEO nerds out there, so be sure to give it a listen if you think that applies to you.

As ever, make sure you are subscribed to the Engaging Marketeer podcast on your preferred podcast platform, and we hope to see you on the next episode.

As a website designer for over two decades, there isn't a question I've heard more than 'Can you make the logo bigger?'

It's an inside joke in our industry at this point. So, in this episode of the Engaging Marketeer, I attempt to politely explain why this is not a good question to ask the designer of your website. Unfortunately, I think I fail to be quite so polite, although an attempt was definitely made.

Of course, this mini-rant is aimed at nobody in particular, and I just want to help everybody in understanding what their website is truly for .
