The next Enterprise Ireland Social Media Club will take place on the morning of Friday, June 17th. The theme of this free seminar will be around the challenges of developing a “Corporate Voice” on the social web. For many companies this is the most difficult aspect of embracing social media: enabling the technology is trivial (anyone can create a Facebook Page), but figuring out what you want to talk about, and who in the company could and should say it, can be the downfall of many well-intentioned social media initiatives.

Thankfully, there’s plenty of good examples of innovative Irish SMEs who have dipped their toes into social media and lived to tell the tale: we’re delighted to announce that the June Social Media Club will feature a case study of how the team at TicketSolve (along with their partners at Steak) have harnessed the power of their staff as social ambassadors  to build a thought-leadership platform and enhance the reputation of the company.

Who Will I See?

Paul Hanly, COO at TicketSolve

Paul’s career started in finance 9 years ago. After a successful career in finance he joined the Ticketsolve team in July 2009 to assist in the business expansion of the organization. He works closely with Paul Fadden and Colin Reed in the sales team to expand TicketSolve’s customer base.

John Barton, Head of Social Media at Steak

John Barton is the founder and Head of Steak Social. With a total of 7 years specialising in digital marketing, John has spent the last 2 years of his career creating and developing the Social Media offering at international agency Steak. In that time the department has grown to be a crucial channel for the agency, building and executing social media strategies for clients ranging from SMEs to blue chip organisations such as the AXA group. John believes that with the right commitment, planning and strategic execution, every business can find their niche in the social landscape regardless of size and vertical.
