February Sports & Marketing Event

February’s event is going to be hosted in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland and follows a day-long indoctrination of doing business in NYC for some leading digital firms in Ireland with both a sports and marketing flavor.

Industry Speaker

A lot of you liked when we did a section highlighting Irish people doing interesting things in digital so, consistent with the interest in that, Margaret Molloy, CMO of Siegel & Gale (and prolific social media maven!) is going to give us a talk on simplicity in digital marketing and how we can all use social media better for our personal advantage.

In addition the following firms will be presenting…
