How did Manchester go from a struggling industrial city filled with abandoned mills and a thriving rave scene to a forward-thinking hub for business, technology, and innovation?
For PushON, a leading digital agency based in Manchester’s Ancoats, this transformation isn’t just a story from the sidelines. It’s something they’re a part of every day.
In this episode, we sit down with PushON’s Strategist and Managing Director, Simon Wharton, to explore a range of topics — from Manchester’s remarkable transformation and choosing the right digital platforms, to harnessing SEO and AI as powerful tools for growth. With two decades of experience in this rapidly evolving space, Simon has witnessed firsthand the growth and constant need for innovation, both in the digital world and within the construction industry itself.
We get into:
✔️ The role digital marketing, SEO, and a strong online presence plays in helping construction companies grow — whether you’re a small corner shop or a large enterprise.
✔️ Why choosing the right platforms and tools is key to staying competitive in a changing market.
✔️ AI as a capability extender, not a threat, allowing companies to do more with less and respond faster to opportunities.
✔️ Predictions for the future of the industry, from smarter processes to a more connected, data-rich ecosystem.
