Connecting with Fashion Bloggers

by Conor on October 18th, 2009

Thanks to Annmarie O’Connor from I Blog Fashion for the invite to join the collection of fashion bloggers at their monthly meetup.  This month it was a coffee morning in BT2 in Dundrum and I met a nice new bunch of people and enjoyed some tasty breakfast courtesy of BT2 whose marketing team also popped in to say hello.  Well done to BT2 for supporting these bloggers & thanks for the generous €50 gift voucher for BT2.  Nice ! ;-0

“What’s In Your Handbag?” Connections

by Jamie Richardson on August 13th, 2009

Last night we had a wonderful opportunity to see some “handbag (or manbag) therapy” in action!

Kildare Village has launched a fun new digital campaign that allows people to upload pictures of the contents of their bags for a chance to win a €1,000 shopping spree. That’s a pretty great prize for revealing the insides of your handbag!

The “What’s in Your Handbag or Manbag”campaign looks like it will be an enjoyable way to interact with others and reveal what the contents of your bag says about you! When you upload your picture others can comment and vote on the contents. The bag with the most votes wins the prize!

Check out this new site >here>>

Debbie Percy is the Handbag Therapy specialist, at the Kildare Village stand, at the forthcoming Ultimate Girl’s Day Out in the RDS on 28-30 August 2009. We got a chance to hear all about this campaign from her via a Skype conference call at the WHPR offices at Ely Place.

A great night of connections and some revealing discoveries about the contents of some very interesting bags! I recommend that you check out this campaign and reveal the contents of your own bag!

A special thanks to the lovely Heidi O’Sullivan and the people at WHPR and Kildare Village!

Connect with sunglasses.ie

by Andrew Sigle on July 22nd, 2009

I met sunglasses.ie recently and they were generous enough to let Connector borrow novelty sunglasses for photos at a Connector events.   Watch out next week for the photos from Connector BBQ (No.12.)

The owner of the company, Niall McCrudden, along with Jon Hanlon are pictured above with a company t-shirt.  This company sells all different types of sunglasses over the Internet.  Sunglasses.ie is  known for great deals as well as reasonable prices.

Coincidently enough, Niall is really involved in social media and connecting with other bloggers as well.  He played a part in connecting Jonathan from Canon with actor Liam Cunningham for the Digital Film Awards.  It’s all about the connections !!!

What a great event last night down at Arnotts … yes Arnotts !  They put on a huge party in the store for 1,000 guests and congrats to Arnotts for putting on such a great event to launch the Arnotts Project.  Met a bunch of friends there and it was packed for a unique night out including a fashion show, DJs, break dancing, 2 live bands & food & drink for all.
