Launched last Wednesday, CreativeTourist.com is an initiative of Manchester Museums Consortium, a group that includes all the major museums and galleries in Manchester. It showcases the best exhibitions and cultural events Manchester has to offer, all wrapped up in a package that features writing, blogging, photography and design by our most talented digital denizens.

The ultimate aim of CreativeTourist.com is to attract visitors to Manchester; but this is not another bland tourist brochure. Like the city it represents, CreativeTourist.com is proud, passionate and controversial. It seeks to provoke as much as promote, appealing to visitors who want more challenging things to do in Manchester than the usual round of landmarks and tourist attractions.

PushON are excited to be associated with this project. Yes, we’re excited because broadsheet-quality content and high-authority linking opportunities make our job of promoting the site a whole lot easier. But it’s more than that. We’re excited about demonstrating to a wary public sector that search engine marketing has come of age; that search is an ethical, effective and, indeed, essential part of any online marketing strategy.

“Hi” fits well in a blog which I’ve classified as “informal informative”, but may be a turn-off for the more serious-minded client. “Greetings”, on the other hand, has limited appeal outside of science-fiction enthusiasts. Ideally, I would test several variations on a range of segments and even consider targeting each of you with a personalised message.

But we’re a small agency, and where our larger cousins might devote a team of creatives, copy-writers and analysts to such important questions, I’ll simply compromise with “Hello”.

I’m Dan. I’ve arrived in Manchester from Australia, where for the past few years I’ve been marketing in-house at a large customer insights agency with the likes of Jeff Richardson, James Duthie and Lucio Ribeiro (who will now dutifully link back to the PushON blog, thereby ensuring we are Number One on the Google within the week).

I think of my approach as customer relationship marketing with a healthy dose of analysis. The analyst in me tracks customers through acquisition, conversion and retention, hunting at each stage for opportunities to increase the flow. Meanwhile, my ‘experience architect’ side enjoys tweaking sites to improve usability and simplicity.

I’m delighted to have joined PushON in my first UK marketing role, and am particularly excited to develop my technical skills around web development and SEO. Kat, Simon and Co. have obliged by making me feel very welcome, while kindly throwing me in at the deep end.

I’ve already met some of you, and look forward to widening my small circle over coming weeks and months. If you just can’t wait, beat the rush on Twitter @danlukas.

I was surprised by the details.  It’s made up of around 300 images, and each small fragment of the overall collage is at 10 megabytes (cropped from an original 12 megabytes).

So it means you can see details such as a man sitting reading a book by the cathedral, and even stacks of Buxton water bottles in the Royal Bank of Scotland head office window.

Here’s Simon and Aiden standing in front of the Manchester City Centre backdrop:

I’d recommend going over to see it, especially if you live or work in the centre, it’s fab.

The presentation is at St Peters RC school. I must have a word about their website, because it’s too dreadful to link to. So here’s a map instead
