Appghanistan (sorry)….

In Online, Travel on September 25, 2010 at 10:43 am

Just back from an extremely interesting trip to Afghanistan. It is a shame more people do not go – it’s relatively safe and Kabul is a fascinating city. Further north, the Panshir Valley is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I was there to get things moving on a Kabul city guide. Eamonn was on RTE in Dublin explaining why and the segment featured a short clip of me at the Bird Market in Kabul.

I met some interesting people who work in the content/technology field, including David Bailey who has vast experience in broadcasting. He also did a short interview with me at an ISAF base in Kabul.

We are aiming to have phase one of the application out by Christmas, so watch this space….

Assilah Antics

In Online, Travel on June 26, 2010 at 12:30 pm

Will be spending the month of July in the rather nice Moroccan town of Assilah working on a mobile app we (URBNTravel) have designed for ADACH. The festival was the brainchild of the town’s mayor and has been ongoing for 32 years.

Myself and Eamonn will be running around for the duration of the festival, interviewing, writing, blogging, tweeting, podcasting, uploading, videoing, photographing, promoting and generally having a blast.

Will link to the official ADACH @ Assilah site when it is up and if anyone is heading over to Morocco during July, let us know – the first green tea is on us.

URBN developments…

Working hard on new proposals for URBN so hopefully news on that to come soon. A piece in today’s Irish Times talks about our award from Berytech in Beirut.

URBN etc

In Magazines, Newspapers, Published articles on February 3, 2010 at 12:27 pm

Our new project URBN got a mention on the best evening radio news show last week. Eamonn spoke about why what we are doing makes sense and some future plans. There is also an interview with him about URBN in this Friday’s Irish Times.

If you get a chance to pick up Communicate this month, I have written two pieces: one on Emirates’ and Ethihad’s use of sports marketing and a piece on a local PR firm who are sponsoring a Dubai-based rally driver. Managed to get Hunter S. Thompson and Playboy mentioned in the intro which is nice.

Beirut and the Pitch

In Uncategorized on December 10, 2009 at 4:47 am

Off to Beirut now to pitch Berytech on a mobile apps concept myself and Eamonn have been working on (with the help of Narain). Should be an interesting weekend, not least when I make a trip to the Hezbollah gift shop and pick up some pillow cases. Will be staying in the Le Gray Hotel and will be writing a number of travel pieces…
