Our other contributors on Thursday:
On the back label of every Drumshambo Gunpowder Irish Gin bottle it states in bold type: ‘From The Curious Mind of PJ Rigney.’
Well, Pat’s ‘curious mind’ began getting very curious when he worked in marketing at Gilbeys. His tale about how he went on to create his own famous drinks brands is well worth listening to – over a drink.
Pat will be joined by Barry Devlin, who began his career as an advertising copywriter and went on to become a rock star, and a writer, and a filmmaker – and you’ll need a long drink for his tale as well.
Camille Donegan began her career in the creative/arts sector as an actor. Her working environment there exposed her to another, more tech-led career that involved intense study in the IT sector to gain the knowledge that has brought her to the XR sector of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. See and hear the real Camille.
Loretta Dignam has worked most of her career at Marketing Director level in blue-chip multinationals: Mars Inc, Diageo, Kerry Group, and Jacob Fruitfield. She was the winner of the Marketer of the Year Award in 2011, chaired the Gender Equality committee of the Abbey Theatre and is chair of the Development Committee. She set up The Menopause Hub, Ireland’s first and only dedicated menopause clinic. Loretta is a truly enlightened marketeer and you’ll hear her story at Après Advertising on Thursday.
Panel moderator for the evening is Orlaith Blaney formerly CEO of McCann Dublin and former President of IAPI. Orlaith is now Chief Communications and Marketing officer at Ervia, with responsibility for Irish Water and she will share some of her own views on the topic.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served on arrival and there’ll also be a glass of wine on offer later to wrap up the evening.
