Believe it or not Summer is in full swing and this means festivals, outdoor events and fun gatherings of every type taking place all over the country. Events diverse as the Temple Bar Chocolate Festival, The Ukulele Hooley Festival and The Mexican Food Festival will combine with old favourites such as Electric Picnic and the Dun Laoghaire Festival of World Cultures to entice us out into the changeable weather for some Summery fun.
With so many consumers milling around in festive humour these events provide a super opportunity for brands to sponsors these events, or for vendors to attract visitors to their area. Yet the very circumstances that make these events so attractive for promotion and marketing make them a little tricky too: the more people there to catch glimpse of your brand, product or message, the harder it is to stand out and be seen. What’s more, the outdoor and temporary nature of festivals and the like presents a challenge – what portable products are sturdy enough for outdoor use, yet tall enough to be seen, and pretty/funky/adaptable enough to uphold your corporate image?
Well here are a few options proving popular at the moment:
Portable Flags
Whether Teardrop shape, Feather shape, or Traditional rectangular, Portable Flags and Poles are a must have for outdoor and indoor events a like. A great investment buy and available from 2m to 5.5m tall, in glorious digitally printed full colour to photographic quality.
Giantpole portable flags and flagpoles - up to 5.4m tall
IIB Teardrop Portable Flags - perfect for festivals and outdoor events
Outdoor Banner Stands
Like their indoor counterparts, Outdoor Banner Stands are convenient, versatile and eye catching. Panels are outdoor grade PVC vinyl with digital print and can be interchanged for years and years of future events. Like Portable Flags and Flagpoles, these can be used inside and out.
Outdoor Banner Stand - portable outdoor sign/display
Branding Your Tent/Kiosk/Trailer
And what if the organisers have prohibited you from placing free-standing signage or flags around your tent or promotional trailer?
Consider a graphic wrap or adhesive signage: possibilities are much the same as on any vehicle or shop window.
Bacardi Car Wrap - Branding Signage For Vehicles
Reads Window Graphics - Digitally Printed Signage
You will be glad to know that all the above items are rain-proof!

Is it possible to make hunger history?
Gorta, Ireland’s oldest charity, last week marked the launch of their online video initiative, makehungerhistory.org, which aims to collect opinions and feedback from members of the public on the issue of global hunger. With one in seven people worldwide now going hungry, this initiative aimsto help inform and mobilise the public in the fight against hunger and poverty.
Minister for Community, Rural & Gaeltacht affairs, Eamon O’Cuiv, joined Gorta CEO, Brian Hanratty, at the Dublin Docklands to launch the site, just days before the National Famine Commemoration Day took place in Skibbereen to commemorate victims of the Great Irish Famine.

Many issues were discussed at the 2009 INTO Annual Congress last Tuesday in Letterkenny, including the issue of renting pre-fabs for school buildings and the possibility of a day of action in the next few months. There was no love lost between delegates and the Minister for Education, Batt O’Keeffe, and an estimated 30 delegates walked out of the congress to show their distaste for recent cuts in the education sector. Above is an image of the stand we produced for this ‘eventful’ event.

Following the lead of Executive Job Clubs in New York and England, an Executive Job Club is now up and running on alternate Fridays in Rathgar.
As the first network in Dublin focusing on executive, managerial and professional job seekers, this club has much to offer its members:
- the members are highly skilled in their sector and share contacts to help fellow members trying to reach specific recruiters or break into a new sector.
- Job leads will be shared at each fortnightly meeting, helping disseminate placements across the group and increasing the number of opportunities each member is exposed to.
- Optimum Training, the facilitators of the club, coordinate the networking and provide career counselling and professional training to each member at a reduced cost.
- The club will also provide executive job seekers with something that can be difficult to access otherwise – moral support from others in a similar position. This type of social back up can be crucial when a redundancy has left the job seeker in shock or lacking confidence to take a step in a different direction.
- This type of network can also benefit those who are still in employment but have been scared off changing jobs because of the current eceonomic climate.
- Contact Aaron Downes for further details – downesad@gmail.com
Another example of a people taking positive action in the face of the non-stop doom-and-gloom at the moment. Would love to hear your views on this or any other such initiative currently going on.

The Northwest of Ireland will be alive with the roar of engines from the 29th January to the 1st February, when Rally Ireland takes place in Belfast, Fermanagh, Tyrone, Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal, Cavan and Roscommon. This event marks the beginning of the championship, an honour traditionally given to the Monte Carlo Rally. Seeing as this is only the 2nd time that Ireland has hosted a round of the FIA World Rally Championship, this is a huge achievement, and one that can only benefit the local economy – the last Rally Ireland attracted over 250,000 spectators and generated €48 million in revenue. Further information is available here and here. And oh yeah, if you attend, keep an eye out for one of the 1000+ signs we produced for the event…

Our work has once again appeared in TV3’s The Apprentice, and God were we proud! Our Swift Banner Stand produced for Temple Street Children’s Hospital was placed beside finalist Nicky as she made her introductory speech. It didn’t help her to win the series but Nicky’s team raised €18000+ for the hospital during the charity auction, and we like to think that the curl-resistant, ultra-matte finish Swift Banner didn’t hurt!
We can also be seen on your screens at the moment, on the ad for Jason Byrne’s new DVD, The Byrne Identity. We produced the colourful backdrop stand – its amzing how versatile and imposing a simple flat pop up stand can be.
