Welcome to Episode 37 of The Digital Disruption Podcast. I'm your host, Patrick, and joining me today is Tim Ash, a distinguished international speaker, acclaimed author, and business founder with an impressive career in digital marketing.


Tim is the founder of one of the pioneering digital marketing agencies, Site Tuners, with a strong focus on conversion rate optimization, boasting an impressive client roster that includes giants like Nestle, Google, and Expedia.


In this episode, we dive deep into Tim's rich journey from an immigrant arriving in the US at age 8 to becoming an influential figure in the marketing world.


He shares insights from his work with neural networks, now known as AI, and his education journey at UC San Diego. We explore his unique approach to marketing, emphasizing the power of evolutionary psychology over fleeting industry trends and technologies.


Together with my co-host Sean, we delve into the importance of a customer-centric approach, the role of psychological principles in marketing, and the strategic necessity of cultivating a distinctive brand voice.


We also discuss the pitfalls of over-reliance on technology in digital marketing and the nuances of defining a strong brand identity. Tim Ash sheds light on the critical importance of sleep for maintaining creativity and emotional well-being, tying it into broader themes from his book "Unleash Your Primal Brain."


Join us as we discuss how businesses can thrive by owning niche markets, enhancing user experiences, and adopting a balanced approach to strategic and tactical optimizations. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or an aspiring entrepreneur, this episode offers valuable insights for navigating the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
