In many of my startup talks, Tullamore D.E.W.'s, "The Parting Glass," remains a pinnacle example of exceptional marketing and the use of media to promote a brand. The advertisement from 2013 received rave reviews from Huffington Post, Fast Company, Creative Online, and Ad Age citing, “awesome surprise,” the “envy of other booze ads," and “a beautiful story, expertly told.”

"A new campaign from Tullamore D.E.W., has been launched. This work extols the virtues of blending, of breaking down barriers, of embracing and celebrating the beauty of 'us'."

Produced in response, this film "showcases Sligo's eclectic music scene alongside landscapes."

Directed and Produced by Colin Gillen with Cinematography by Peter Martin, four of Sligo's leading music pubs, renowned in their own right for sessions and live music, came together along with Sligo's leading young film makers and creatives, patrons and supporters, to produce this short film.

John Zozzaro and I had the honor and privilege of meeting with some of the esteemed of the city of Limerick, seemingly ages ago, before the quarantine. Senior Executive Officer of Economic Development, Pat Fitzgerald, Dr. Mihai Bilauca, then Head of Digital Strategy, Chief Executive of Limerick City & County Council Dr. Pat Daly, and then Mayor Cllr James Collins, spent some time with us in Austin, TX.

What captured our attention so meaningfully was two recent developments:

Troy Studios was completing its fourth sound stage, making it the largest production studio facility in Ireland. Work was in the early stages on a production for Apple TV+
WordPress hosting and management platform WP Engine, one of Austin's most successful ventures, chose Limerick to establish their second office.

Oh by the way! It would not be SXSW were it not for the music festival. Tune into Culture Ireland and First Music Contact's, Music From Ireland
