Year in Titan 2023
The wait is over, we've collected, tabulated, and surveyed the Year in Titan 2023. Now if you get one of these 'Wrapped' things from someone on December 3rd (looking at you Spotify), just remember they can't include ALL of 2023 if they send it in early December. We're not late, they're just way early. Without further ado, your Year in Titan!
Yep, we took some time off. Two Weeks in fact.
$1 spent to $23 returned. ROAS (that's return on ad spend), is our bread and butter. Sometimes we have a strong bread and it's slathered 23 times in butter.
Some people bring their kids to work for a day. We bring our PARENTS to work. We taught them how the internet works and fixed their phones.
Oh, we brought our kids to work too. Except work was a circus, cotton candy, and ice cream.
We pushed on the pulls. 601 of them to be exact. These are reviewed, refined, and merged with ease*. *(Citation needed)
Get your hard hats on, we're constructing constantly. Building, launching, and basking in the glory of new ecommerce sites is what we know best.
The batpole is the fastest route from floor 3 to floor 2. We had 41 total trips and 29 first-timers.
Chest bumps are our preferred mode of communication at Irish Fair. Either that or Riverdancing.
We flipped the Ecomm Forum script. We invited the MERCHANTs to sell their goodies at the tradeshow this year. It was a BLAST. Needless to say, we're bringing it back for the 10th anniversary next year, bigger than ever.
We're taskmasters. More specifically our project management team are task masters experts. We love to cross our tasks off our lists, just don't mark them complete without a project management signoff.
Want to see some real speed? 22 days is all we need to launch a high-performing ecommerce experience. Want that kind of speed? Get us in a room for a workshop build and we can probably beat that number.
Nothing surprises us anymore, goat gifts, egg trading, and hot pepper planting is all par for the agrarian course.
Speaking of launching, we're firing email campaigns off left, right, and center. Slicing and dicing segments, targeted messages, and striking graphics all landing in your inbox soon.
All we can say is the scissors in his house must be broken.
We have nothing but time... tracking. Remember to fill out your timesheet.
Almost five thousand hours spent sharpening our swords. It's how we stay at the cutting edge.
While no one has been hospitalized from an Irish Titan event (yet), our shenanigans afflicted four Titans this year. If you see a Titan in a boot, it's best not to comment.
We're social creatures. We're also professional communicators (see our Diamond Model). That means we talk. 16.4 million talks to be exact.
When a Titan reaches 1 year of service, they receive a jersey with their name and numerical order. This year we hit (and passed) 100 jerseys in the world. Note, this doesn't include our Honorary Titans.
Our largest year yet. Titan cats we're featured more than ever before in an effort to take the top spot from the Titan Dogs channel.
No contest, dogs crushed the cats again. Sorry.
Four 'Titans in Training' joined us this year. They're working on their coding abilities now but speaking is still pretty hard. Titans also packed it up this year.
Almost nine thousand meals shared around the table. These might be bowls from our SOUPer Bowl, chili from Crocktober Fest, 2 week old Liquid Gold, or just a Chicken Tikka Masala that Max brought in. We just spent some good meals together.
Almost nine thousand dollars raised for good. That includes our Shenanigans for Good raffle (if you win, YOU decide where the money goes), donations for Ecomm Forum, Titan giving, and more. We're proud to put some green back into the world.

By Nate Levine, User Experience Engineer at Irish Titan. Heat maps are a type of data visualization tool that illustrates how users interact with your website. They use color coding to represent the level of activity across different parts of your site—think of it like a weather map, but instead of showing temperature, it shows user engagement. The hotter the color (reds, oranges), the more active the engagement with that section, while cooler colors (blues, greens) indicate less interaction.
