Below is a video Connector recently produced for HP Snapfish. Although this video is for the UK market and used in a large marketing campaign with the Daily Mail, we had a happy client for this ‘How To’ video produced here in Dublin.
The lovely voice you hear is from the excellent voice-over artist Nicola Lyndsay sourced from Piehole.ie

I must say I really enjoyed the talk by John Boyle at ‘The Board‘ event last week in the Stillorgan Park Hotel. He told the story of how he battled from being a van driver fired from his job with alcohol problems to being a hugely successful businessman with 170+ betting offices with Boyle Sports.
He was a very humble man and as he said himself ‘I used to want to be John Wayne, now I just want to be John Boyle’. The main take away from his talk was how to achieve success and happiness with mind training combined with the correct work life balance.
You can find lots more notes here on ‘The Board and apologies for the poor lighting at the start of this clip. Thanks to The Board for arranging such a great event.

When I plan events, it’s always more fun if it is planned for a good cause. There is something to be said for doing an event with the purpose to help another. With this intern event, Barnardos was our charity partner. Barnardos mission is to challenge and support families, communities, society and government to make Ireland the best place in the world to be a child.
To help this intern charity event come together we received sponsorship from The Church, Jameson and Shamrocker Tours. The Church allowed us to invade their club downstairs while providing us with sustenance and a free glass of wine or beer. Shamrocker donated a trip for three days around Ireland, a chance for an intern to see other parts of the country. Jameson graciously donated several bottles of their famous whiskey, along with a lunch for four, and an 18 year old bottle all for us to raffle off; along with providing our guest speakers a bottle of their gold whiskey.
Our speakers for the night were Orla Tighe and Neil Leyden.
Orla Tighe is the fundraising manager for Barnardos. She told a moving story about a little boy she had met that is in programs at Barnardos, she talked to the struggles that he has in his life and how Barnardos helped this boy and his family move towards a better life.
Neil Leyden is one of the project managers at Gateway Ireland. He spoke to what Gateway Ireland is striving to do. They are focusing on promoting Ireland to the world and harnessing the vast majority of people in the world with an Irish connection. He focused on people with an Irish connection around the world and how they can bring these people together for a common purpose through various social media outlets.
The event all in all was a success; we talked, mingled, danced, enjoyed ourselves, and most of all did it for a great cause. We learned about the cause and we learned about how vast the Irish culture is spread no matter where you are in the world.
We would like to give a big thank you to all of our sponsors and our speakers for coming out last night. It was a great time and we could not have done it without you.

There are many intern groups here in Dublin this summer. The interns here at Connector have been hard at work planning an intern event for all them. We wanted to create a night that brought everyone together, was fun, educational, and came together for a good cause.
The intern event will be benefitting the not-for-profit Barnardos, a local Dublin charity that serves the people of Dublin. The event will be on July 28th from 6pm – 10pm at The Church. There is a suggested donation of 4 euro and every cent will go towards Barnardos. The Church has donated a free drink and finger food to all the interns that come and show their support for Barbardos.
We will also have several speakers for the night; a representative from Barnardos to talk about the work that they do, Bobby Kerr an entrepreneur that started the largest coffee company in Ireland, and a speaker from gateway Ireland.
We hope to see all the interns that are here in Dublin out for this event as it is a can’t miss event. Andrew and Shelsea will be the MCs of the event for the entire evening.
We are excited for this special night of fun, community, and excitement. Can’t wait to see you all there.
Sincerely the Connector Interns,
Shelsea and Andrew
