Team building days are such a fantastic opportunity to engage with your team, but many fail to deliver a memorable experience. However, EY didn't disappoint. I'm proud to share another video from my archives, this time featuring one of the major events we hosted for the team at EY. This Irish event was part of the build-up to a massive 500-person EY team event in Zurich with the same 'Connector In...

Imagine the scene. Instagram is a baby, but it has a growing number of superfans creating content and starting to meet up for photowalks and the likes. In 2013, as an experiment, my marketing agency 'Connector' ran a pop-up Instagram Gallery, aka Instagallery, event in Dublin, where we mixed a gallery evening with booze and a DJ. We had 200 Instafans as guests and 'a great time was had by all' as...

As you can see from the videos from my dusty 2009 archives, I was super nervous. It was a pre-recorded show, but it was all recorded in one go with no retakes. Oh oh. Thinking it might be a good idea to get free publicity for my meetups, named after my personal brand side hustle 'Connector', I applied to be on the show in season one. I hoped it might be a good experience for some of the people who...

We were based in the heart of Dublin's cultural quarter, namely Temple Ba...

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ...This is super cringey, but bear in mind it was done in 2009. The number of times the word 'connect' is mentioned has me bright red in embarrassment. In my opinion, 2008 - 2009 was the golden age for meetups and excitement about the future. This was just before the economy hit the floor, and the rest is history. There seemed to be events for everyone, and as a...

During my five years at the Connector Innovation Studio in Temple Bar, we hosted numerous exciting events, and this was one of the most interesting - testing the Connector Innovation Game. We ultimately sold this game to a global events company. I'm still big into creating assets, and sometimes selling them. As recently as last evening, I was with another small group of mates, including Ronan Higg...

A long time ago, in 2009, one of my first big clients at Connector was Canon. By running regular meetups with my community of makers, movers, and shakers, I was picked as the competition partner. At the time, I was also regularly sharing content on my blog Connector.ie Shout out to the visionary team, which was led by Philip Brady and Jonothan Sultan from Canon Ireland , and Piaras Kelly represent...
