At its core, software is about people: how we interact, identify, and connect. Our relationship with it is personal, but the data defining that relationship is just...out there, often used against us by the technology which claims to solve our problems. Software is not neutral, because it is a reflection of the people creating it, often amplifying bias, prohibiting interaction, and violating privacy-- intentionally or otherwise. Consider this talk a primer on design ethics, what happens when we fail to have them, and the need for accountability and solid guidance when it comes to what we build. ]]>

Embeddable widgets have proliferated the web since JavaScript was born in the mid-nineties, and even before. Since the days of CGI counters, we have come a long way, with companies like Intercom and Stripe providing drop-in code to render components that provide rich and interactive experiences within customers’ existing sites. At Tito, we have provided an embeddable widget since early on. When it came to rewriting it, we wanted to keep the things that made it great: a simple drop-in native-like web component that was easy to customise with CSS and integrate with JavaScript hooks. Our secondary goals were higher level. We wanted an easy to use codebase, and a widget that could be the primary code that we used on our own checkout pages. We also wanted to hook in to the modern ecosystem of JavaScript package managers, bundlers and modules. This talk will explore the process of upgrading an older widget to a modern codebase and framework, some of the advantages to be gained, and some of the challenges faced.]]>

In any early-stage company, there are so many competing priorities and it is often difficult to know which ones to focus on first. Building a diverse and inclusive culture is usually one that is deprioritized, partly because there are few tools and resources relevant to early and growth stage companies, partly because it doesn’t feel urgent. However, having a diverse and inclusive culture and workforce is increasingly giving companies a competitive edge in the war for talent. This talk will focus on practical tips and advice on fostering diversity and inclusion in early-stage companies. ]]>

This is not your everyday data talk. Through working deep inside the fastest growing SaaS startups in our space, we've studied the patterns, methods, and models for driving outsized results. The one common thread? How they use their data. (How else would you grow from one marketer through to a $60M+ Series B just 12 months later?). How do they make their data accessible, draw the right insights, set effective goals, prioritise and optimise processes, and automate ALL the (right) things. So brace yourselves: we're going to be navigating through AI, automation, "moving the needle", and a minefield of other buzzwords to try to make sense of using your data for growth. But you'll leave this talk with a simple framework and set of questions you can take and use right away.]]>

When we talk about product market fit, we typically think of the initial stage of a startup - when we test solutions starting from a technology to find a market or from a market to design a product. And then, if we are lucky, it's done and we can focus on scaling, right? But markets change, new ones appear and as we try to adapt, while growing initial success, we often end up with bloated products or do dangerous pivots. And the growth actually slows down. Here’s a few ideas how to avoid this, based on some good experiences and a couple of bad ones.]]>

Using data from millions of customers and thousands of companies, Patrick will debunk much of the dogma that drives our mental models around building a business, before offering up a practical guide around pricing, building the right product, retention, and targeting the right customers - all to ensure we're building a sustainable, thriving business. ]]>

You spend months — sometimes years — building a new feature. Once it's shipped you celebrate, and move onto the next thing. But product development isn't exclusively new feature development. In this talk, Amy will draw on her experience killing products at high-scale businesses. You'll learn why product development teams should constantly evaluate their product portfolio, some techniques to help you always-be-evaluating, and some advice on how to gracefully deprecate your products.]]>

Building products with engineers is the most scalable way to drive organic growth. I will introduce briefly the disconnect I found between marketing and product/engineering from my past consulting experience, cover the basics on how we setup autonomous and independent growth teams and ultimately dive into how we drive growth by building products with engineers. In the “building products” deep dive I will give an overview of our framework to generate products ideas from search data, provide some tactical examples on how building custom CMSs allows us to quickly validate MVPs, why we invest in infrastructure to scale acquisition and what we learned so far by building products that solve customers problems across the entire funnel.]]>

Data is all around us, which is both a good and bad thing. Good, because we need it. Bad, because there’s simply too much to know where and how to start using it. This is one of several reasons that marketing teams are currently dysfunctional – I’ll reveal the rest in my talk – but it doesn’t have to be this way. Data-Driven Design (3D) is an actionable evidence-based framework that gives marketing teams (marketers, designers, & copywriters) accelerated access to the data they really need, coupled with a process for understanding how to use that data to make informed changes to the digital marketing experiences you’re creating today.
