Today we wish a fond farewell to Upper Mount Street. We’re on the move and the builders are hard at work kitting out our super new offices on Ely Place. We’ll be getting the keys in January so in the meantime you’ll find us at our temporary digs at 77 St. John Rogerson’s Quay – The Fitzwilliam Business Centre.
It’ll be business as usual so you can still get a hold of us on 01 7756500 or via your usual contact. If you’re coming in to see us here are the directions.
I love this time of year. So my Friday post is full of Christmas spirit. As Christmas fast approaches, brands are out in force to engage consumers in different ways. TV ads have gone viral, and the use of technology continues to drive engagement through Augmented Reality and QR codes. Exciting times! Here’s just a few examples to get the ball rolling, and get everyone in the season spirit. HO HO HO!
This month will go down as being an epic month in the world of video games. We have seen the launch of some of the biggest gaming titles just before Christmas Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Assassins Creed Revelations, and Forza 4. Read more

It’s Friday afternoon so I’ll keep this short and sweet! Google+ has just launched Google+ Pages, which allow brands to establish a presence on the service. For businesses and brands, Google+ Pages is another way to help brands connect with the customers and fans.
We were delighted to be recently nominated in a number of categories for the upcoming eircom Spider Awards. One entry we were very proud of was Mediastreet, nominated in the Listings category. We are particularly pleased that it was nominated in its launch year, so a big well done to Cormac, Ciara and the rest of the team in Mediastreet. It is a strong category, with some great entrants.

It’s that time of year again…the X Factor live shows!!! My weekends now revolve around Dermot O’Leary and those suits that are ever so slightly too tight. What more could you want from your Saturday night – contestants’ dreams being crushed week after week because they just don’t have the ‘likeability factor’ according to Louis Walsh or waiting to see what Kelly Rolland is wearing… even Gary Barlow is scrubbing up well for the occasion. Perfect!
Having done some film in college, i’ve always had a taste for it and wanted to break into the somewhat thankless world of amateur film making. I’ve toyed with the idea of submitting an animated short for the E4 estings competition nearly every year. I’ve always said i’d submit a flash animation to newgrounds.com and of course never gotten round to that either. I’ve even been involved with old college friends and we’ve fully planned a music video together, came up with the story, done a prop list, cast list, shot list, and even made the storyboard. But we have yet to find the spare time to start actually filming it.
