SwiftCase Productivity Podcast

Welcome to Room 404! In this episode continuing our Room 101 parody, we're discussing (having a good whinge about) our three biggest issues with particular web design trends... but only one of them can be banished to Room 404 forever.

There are various forms of this kind of criticism leveled at novices in a particular field. Whether it’s music, photography, tech or sport, there are particular participants who feel the need to conspicuously demonstrate their supposed expertise through buying the flashiest, most impressive looking equipment available. The more money spent, the better - or not. This serves to provide a false sense of productivity and pseudo confidence in these individuals, who are novices or even beginners, and also possibly convince anyone who sees them that they have some authority in that field.  In this installment, the team discuss their own experiences with putting gear above ideas, even sometimes being guilty of it themselves.

Marketing can easily be misguided and misunderstood - is the lack of marketing considered more genuine than shoving ads in people's faces? How do you prove your sincerity without looking like you're a sell-out? Today the team discuss some of the methods SwiftCase have used, and how showing your audience you're an actual person with weaknesses is better than pretending to be perfect; we know you're not, and it's perfectly fine to be imperfect.
