Motorway

What’s the secret to building an engineering team in the age of AI? 🤖 At this year's #SiftedSummit, our co-founder Harry Jones took to the stage to represent Motorway at one of Europe’s most exciting tech startup events. Joined by leaders from Moonpig, Creandum, and Sourcegraph, Harry shared actionable insights on ‘How to hire an engineering team in the era of AI’ with a packed room of industry peers. Together, they discussed: 🧑💻 Going beyond the code: As AI evolves, the human element becomes even more important. While AI transforms roles, there’s still no replacement for human taste and experience. 🎨 Creativity is key: Success with AI isn’t limited by the technology but by the creativity of how you use it. Creative environments are essential for innovation and talent attraction. 🦓 Hiring differently: Look for talent in unexpected places. At Motorway, we hired our first engineer through a classified ad on Gumtree! A huge thanks to the Sifted for having us! It’s been a brilliant event of great conversations and ideas!

Our CMO, Naomi Walkland, was on the road last week, speaking at two major industry events! First up, she joined some of the brightest minds in marketing at #CampaignLive as part of their Power 100 list panel. Naomi shared what inspires her, and gave her top tips for finding inspiration in our fast-paced industry. She then took the stage at Marketing Week's Festival of Marketing, joining a diverse panel to explore the future of marketing. Together, they discussed the key skills and challenges that will shape our industry in the coming years. A huge thanks to Campaign UK and Marketing Week for inviting Naomi to be part of these exciting conversations!

Last week, we were thrilled to see our very own Director of Analytics, Elly Evans, and Statistician, Bianca Oprisa, take the stage at Big Data LDN to share their expertise on building a data-driven culture. Elly reflected on the experience: "Big Data London was such an inspiring event! It was fantastic to connect with so many talented people and discuss the future of data and analytics. Speaking alongside Bianca Oprisa about how we’ve fostered a culture of experimentation at Motorway was a real highlight. A huge thanks to Women in Data for giving us the opportunity to champion amazing female talent in the industry." A massive thank you to Elly and Bianca for sharing your insights and representing Motorway so brilliantly. We’re proud to partner with Women in Data® to continue supporting diversity in data and tech.

Last Friday, team Motorway joined the Brighton & Hove 5K Rainbow Run as part of our Brighton Pride celebrations! 🏳️🌈✨ We were thrilled to support this amazing event again in 2024, with 20 of our Motorway runners taking to Hove Park. The atmosphere was electric, filled with lots of colour, live DJ sets, drag queens, and fellow runners making a difference. All funds raised support The Brighton Rainbow Fund, a fantastic charity distributing grants to local projects that make a positive impact in the LGBTQ+ communities of Brighton & Hove. We are proud to celebrate Pride and support inclusion at work, ensuring everyone feels safe to be themselves at Motorway.
