Dublin's City

has been named as one of

the best free things to do

in Europe by the

Sydney Morning Herald.

The service allows first-time visitors to Dublin to have a free drink and chat with a Dubliner as a welcome to the country.

The volunteers meet visitors and stand them a drink in one of three Dublin institutions: the Merrion Hotel, Bewley's Cafe and the Porterhouse.

If we ran this in Belfast,

Who should we nominate to meet, greet and have a pint with our visitors?

Where could we take our visitors for a pint?

Suggestions here please!

You know that you are in Belfast when someone offers
you five lighters for a pound!
(Gary Fennelly - Belfast Telegraph)

So you’re coming to Belfast?
Then why not enjoy a Cultural Belfast Pub Crawl with a difference.
writes Gerry Faloona

Belfast is a special place. It is a unique combination of location, people and deep rooted culture. The people of Belfast provide a special combination of wit and social charm and they love nothing more than ‘the craic’, an Irish term for fun and laughter and in Belfast the ‘craic’ is endless in our city pubs!

Travel is about fulfilling dreams and creating lasting memories, Belfast folk know how to spin dreams from the most precious thread and to weave memories from the most delicate experiences and to that end spending time with handpicked Belfast people would help create lasting incredible memories of your visit to our amazing city.

A pub crawl enjoying a drink or two with an experienced Belfast character would give you more relevant information about Belfast and our history in a couple of hours than any handbook or website could ever do.
Guides for this service are experience rich i.e. have lived life to the full and have an intimate knowledge of the city, its characters and its culture. Itineraries include: tours of the older bars; the John Hewit, White's Tavern, McHugh’s and the Duke of York, or the newer establishments such as The Apartment with its modern aspect and outlook on the city.

Find out about the city characters of the past, characters such as “Buck Alex” with his lion, Pig Mineely the peeler and Silver McKee to name but a few, giving an insight into the fact that even through our darker times, Belfast was always full of character, characters and craic.

So guys and girls, if this were for real, who would we get to welcome our visitors? Peter Robinson and Martin McGuiness, no we said it would be Craic, David Ford, no we said it would be informative, perhaps some of our leading industrialists, no, I think our own Joe McCormack would be an ideal candidate, full of wit and charm (and a few other ingredients) knowledgeable and fond of a glass or two.

What would a sample itinerary look like, starting in Whites Tavern established in 1630 and reputed to be where Henry Joy McCracken enjoyed his last sup before the Gallows, then perhaps McCracken’s in Joy’s entry named after Francis Joy founder of the Newsletter and Henry Joy’s grandfather, then perhaps on to McHugh’s in the oldest building in Belfast and the landing point for the royal visit in 1849 and the building that provided a backdrop to the stage for the rise of the labour movement with the historic Dockers’ Strike of 1907. To finish, why not view the fabulous City Hall lit up in the evening as we sup a Belfast cocktail or two in the Apartment bar part of the historic Scottish Provident Landmark building which has four panels on its front depicting the printing, ropemaking, shipbuilding and spinning, industries that made Belfast great.

P.S. If Joe is not available, and or if there is anyone who would like one of these tours, I would like to put my name forward for a few shifts.

Enjoy this no mean city!

Growing Your business through the Recession

Phillip Bain, who co-founded the highly successful mobile shredding company Shredbank in 2007 just after the collapse of Northern Rock, will give a talk on how to survive and thrive in a recession.

The seminar will focus on key areas that all businesses need to address in order to survive through difficult economic times.

The seminar is highly interactive, informative and practical.

Philip Bain and his business partner James Carson established ShredBank just after the collapse of Northern Rock and the beginning of one of the deepest recessions since the 1930’s. ShredBank entered a document shredding market dominated by well established multi-nationals and a deteriorating economic climate. Despite this, under Philip’s commercial leadership ShredBank has become a fast growing multi-award winning company that has experienced high double digit growth year on year and disproved the notion that success in a recession is impossible.

Having recently won Entrepreneur of the Year 2010 and Young Businessperson of the Year 2011, we are delighted that Philip has agreed to share his thoughts and experiences on what it takes to start-up, grow and succeed in tough financial times. He will reflect on the importance of marketing, selling, innovation and having a business model that works.

Phillip will donate his seminar fee to the Prince's Trust 'Million Makers' corporate competition.

Shredbank will donate their time and delegate packs for this seminar as part of their fundraising efforts in support of the Prince's Trust.

Uprisings in middle-eastern states and various corporate crises reveal the often huge gap between an old guard using traditional media and the tech-savvy general public. This was certainly the case during the Egypt crisis earlier this year. In one corner stood an authoritarian government trying in vain to push 1970s style TV addresses claiming ‘revolution, what revolution?’ In the other corner, an angry populace organised street protests via Twitter, with local Souk owners able to upload video footage of the unfolding chaos in Cairo to be screened by BBC and CNN and watch it spread virally through the internet.

The past decade has witnessed an astonishing change in how we use and consume media. However, the changing patterns and trend of consumer media hasn’t been reflected in how some corporations, businesses and organisations communicate with their stakeholders, not least during some high profile crisis incidents.

The Perfect Storm for Crisis Communications
Huge advances in digital media are also occurring alongside fundamental shifts in modern society including the following.

People Power: The characteristics of new media - ‘Transparent’, ‘community orientated’, ‘openness’, ‘instant’ help create a new power shift away from traditional elites such as news broadcasters and CEOs and give more power to consumers.

Information culture: Over the past few years we have entered what I call the ‘age of information entitlement’. We know that with so much digital media content on the internet, there’s now a culture of expecting the right information and getting it right now.

Reputational Scrutiny and the Recession: Another important factor on the modern media environment is the levels of distrust in corporations and the media. We are now much less likely to trust authority, especially corporations and the messages they push.

The role of online media in crisis communications
Up until recently PR managers could rely on the traditional media to disseminate messages and updates during a crisis incident. Of course, traditional PR still plays a hugely important part in a modern crisis response, however in the digital age marketing, PR and communications departments need to learn how to integrate online and social media effectively. So what are the main online media and tools you need to be aware of and what role do they play in managing crisis communications?

Website
Your website is perhaps the most fundamental part of your brand presence online. However it’s important to check that your website is functional. One of the major problems during the NI Water crisis in January this year was the inefficiency of their website. Rather than invest in a customer focused website, the company was stuck with an outdated corporate website that was unable to communicate real-time updates. It certainly compared less favourably to many rival water companies in Britain who had invested in websites which integrated their Facebook and twitter profiles, the company blog and even online video.

Social Media
Social media channels such as Facebook have become very popular among the general public. As such, more marketing effort is now being devoted to developing engagement strategies and activity. Many companies have invested heavily in their social media presence. One example is US airline Jet Blue who have used their Facebook Page to communicate quickly and successfully during a crisis by posting updates and responses to consumers.

Online broadcast channels
Through your Twitter profile you can create real time messages of 140 characters and update people who are following your profile. Twitter is definitely one of the top online tools for communicating real time messages during a crisis.

Online Video
With an iphone or digital camera, anyone can record, edit, upload and distribute a video attacking your brand within minutes. In extreme cases these videos can go viral and appear high on search engine results. However there are also opportunities for brands to use video during crisis periods. If you are sincere about maintaining public confidence during a crisis then a crisis response video from your spokesperson hosted on your website will be an important step.

Blogs
You can also communicate information and messages quickly during a crisis by using a blog. If you have one of your spokespersons blogging during a crisis, it will also make the organisation sound less corporate and more human.

Online monitoring
Probably the most important tool to use during a crisis in the digital age is an online monitoring system. It’s amazing how many businesses and organisations don’t monitor what’s being said about them online. During a crisis it’s vital that you learn how the crisis is unfolding online. Remember, monitoring tools such as Google Alerts are free.

The Kryptonite Crisis
Background: One of the most famous online brand attacks was the Kryptonite story. Kryptonite are one of the largest bike-lock companies in the world and take huge pride in the legendary security of their products.
What happened: Back in 2004, the company was the victim of a full scale online brand attack.

Kryptonite discovered a short You Tube video called ‘How to pick a Kryptonite bike lock with a Bic pen in 10 seconds’. The video spread like a contagion through the internet and was seen by hundreds of thousands of people. This caused real reputational damage to the Kryptonite brand.

Crisis PR in the Digital Age – Top Tips.
1. Update your crisis PR plan – review your current use of online media channels and how you could use them in a crisis.
2. If you are confident with online and social media use in the good times – you are better prepared for the bad times.
3. Monitor your brand terms online – learn from online chatter during a crisis.
4. Register and safeguard your online channels – register your own Facebook and Twitter profiles before someone else does. If you don’t, you can’t use them to communicate in a crisis and what’s worse someone else can even steal your profile and impersonate you!
5. More than words – consider using video broadcasts to help foster good will, educate and appear less corporate.
6. Don’t just leave it to the intern - make sure directors and marketing managers are comfortable with online and social media and that responses are from the top down.
7. Get trained in online media and marketing before a crisis unfolds.

From the Chair - Bill MacNeill

ICAGNI’s latest workshop under the heading of eBusiness proved a great success. Townsend Enterprise Park played host once again to ICAGNI this week with their final workshop of the season. A big thank you to Siobhan from Townsend for her hard work. The eBusiness workshop was facilitated by our own Joe McCormack. “Joe’s style of delivery is both illuminating and entertaining” said chair Bill MacNeill.

Joe opened proceedings with a challenge: spot the difference between start-up businesses in the south of Ireland and the north. “Up here a start-up that’s gearing up for export is rare”, answered Joe. “finding a business here that’s embracing eBusiness is rarer yet.” Joe’s considerable experience delivering to start-up companies in both jurisdictions adds credence to his stance. His point is that eBusiness empowers small start-ups to keep costs down, manage information, learn quickly and speak to many customers in multiple locations; regardless of company size.

Joe brought us on a virtual tour of Europe citing examples from places as far afield as Zagreb where you can pay for a tram ticket by your mobile phone as you board the tram with no surcharge or delay. He continued “This is a far cry from Belfast’s mobile phone based facility to pay for on-street car parking; a 15p transaction charge, you still have to pay by credit card and it can take more than 15 minutes to get confirmation it’s worked.”

The lessons to be learned continued with a local example of a bakery which retrenched and refocused on basic products and used eBusiness to reduce costs while sustaining quality and profit margins; a bus tour company that can take bookings and payments via mobile phone and the internet as well as produce eTickets for tourists while billing suppliers instantly too.

ICAGNI’s winter programme of eBusiness workshops continues in January 2012 with the same bus tour company bringing us an in-depth look into eBusiness and how it has re-shaped the business from bumper to bumper (ouch!). Date and time January 17th 2012 – 4pm-5pm to be confirmed. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
