Meet Ben: The marketer turning print expertise into action
“Marketing Manager” doesn’t quite fit. Ben’s real job is turning WTTB’s practical print know-how into education you can use the same day. Not theory. Not noise. Useful, concise guidance that helps resellers feel confident, look expert, and get work over the line without a marketing department of their own.
“I wave the wand; Ben delivers the ta-da moment. That’s Print Sorcery.” Emma Thompson - Marketing Director
You’ve started to see it already. The how-to videos that take a knotty print question and solve it in sixty seconds. The educational blog that explains stock, finishes, colour, and file setup in plain English, with examples you can point clients to instead of writing a mini-essay in every email. The on-site content that quietly does the heavy lifting: context on why a product fits a job, when to upsell a finish, what to avoid so artwork sails through preflight first time.
And then there’s the part most people never notice, because that’s the point. The smart prompts and pop-ups that only appear for the right people at the right moment. If you’re deep in business cards, you won’t see a banner about wedding stationery. If your artwork fails a common check, you’ll see a tiny, timely nudge that fixes that issue, not a generic checklist. It feels simple because it’s been made to be simple. That’s Ben: obsessive about relevance so customers only see what matters.
This isn’t content for content’s sake. It’s a library of small, precise answers that compound into speed and trust. When a client asks a technical question, you don’t stall, you send a link that teaches and reassures. When a junior on your team needs direction, they don’t wait for a meeting, they watch a clip and get it right first time. Education becomes an asset you can deploy, not a chore you have to create.
Over the next quarter, expect more of this to show up where you work: tighter how-to clips aligned to common briefs, deeper blog pieces that you can reuse with your branding, and on-site micro-guides that adapt to what you’re actually browsing. The aim isn’t to add more clicks; it’s to remove questions. Less back-and-forth. Fewer reprints. Better first passes. That’s real margin, disguised as simple explanations.
What makes Ben different is that he treats education like a product, and that’s what 15 years on WTTB brings. He tests, trims, and strips until the guidance is as short as it can be and no shorter. The win for you is confidence: you can teach clients how to buy print the right way quickly, consistently, and without reinventing the wheel each time.
If there’s something you wish you could explain once and never have to explain again, tell us. Ben will turn it into a guide, a video, or a page that lives where you need it. And if you just want reliable, no-fluff education that makes your day easier, keep watching this space, that’s where the useful stuff lands first.
