Mini Media Meets... Trish Gallagher, CEO of Bobolu Designs

I’ve always been a great believer in the power of positive quotations and affirmations. For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawn to them because of the positive vibes they emit.

The BOBOLU story and the power of positive quotations

Trish tell us what inspired you to create Bobolu Designs?

I’ve always been a great believer in the power of positive quotations and affirmations. For as long as I can remember I’ve been drawn to them because of the positive vibes they emit. I have found that when life has thrown me a curve ball or put road blocks in my way I have always turned to positive affirmations or uplifting quotations to take me to a better place in my head. By scribbling these on post it notes and strategically placing them around my house, they help to change my thinking and bring about a positive change in my life.

I bought my first book of quotations over 20 years ago. A tiny little book, no bigger than the size of a box of matches, I still have and refer to it. And from there my love of quotations, positive affirmations and feel good messages grew. A big fan of Louise Hay, a master in positive philosophy, I travelled to San Diego to attend one of her seminars and as well as traveling to hear the likes of Tony RobinsWayne DyerMarianne Williamson and Robert Holden, all gurus in positive thinking and personal development.

Bobolu Designs.jpg

It's all in the name... where did the name BOBOLU come from?

So the name….its quiet simple really, we have two gorgeous children called Bobby and Lucy, hence I called the company BOBOLU. On a rare occasion when my husband Sean and I had the opportunity to get a night away together, and armed with nothing but a pen and a glass of wine, we started writing versions of their names on a coaster. That was the beginning.  

Bobby & Lucy .jpg

I came home the following night, took out a flip chart and came up with BOBOLU; Bob-o-Lu. Hopefully as they get older they’ll come to understand why I came up with that name. In time, I want them to know that it is important for me to have a career & fulfil my own needs. I also want them to know that I love them beyond measure and calling my company after them encompasses both my love for them as well as doing a job I love.

Bobolu Name .jpg

Tell us about your Mission for BOBOLU 

My mission with BOBOLU is to spread that positive vibe which will hopefully help others in their own pursuit of happiness and success, be it in their personal lives, careers or businesses.  

I believe passionately in the power of words. That’s why I’ve created a range of products that incorporate positive quotations and empowering affirmations. 

Designed to awaken optimism and encourage growth and expansion, these products are the ideal way to enhance your home or office.  My wish for you is that, here at BOBOLU, you will find the perfect gift for yourself or others.

Eir Spiders Digital Workshop
Eir Spiders Digital Workshop

I was first up to deliver my presentation on 'The rise of Digital Influencer Marketing and how it can impact your bottom line'.  As CEO of Irish Blogger Agency, Ireland's dedicated agency for digital influencer marketing I was in a position to share my experiences and give my point of view on the benefits of digital influencer marketing, how to measure influencer marketing success, how to effectively engage with digital influencers and I closed my presentation by sharing some successful digital influencer campaigns over the past 12 months. 

Daniel Browne, Commercial Director Ocean Media, Director of Sea Sessions Surf & Music Festival

Eir Spiders Digital Workshop

As a blogger and content creator I was very interested in hearing Daniel Browne's presentation titled ' Content is still king' - exploring constants in a changing environment'.   Having worked in the media in the north west for almost 20 years, after a career in journalism Daniel moved to the commercial side of media opening 13 Newspapers for River Media as Operations Director.  With all this experience, amazing stage presence and lots of charm it is no wonder Daniel delivered a fantastic presentation.

Today Daniel is the Commercial Director of Ocean Media, which operates the award winning radio station Ocean FM, and now delivers video production for commercial clients across the region as well as web design, social media management and graphic design. Daniel is also one of the owners of Sea Sessions Surf Music Festival in Bundoran, a multi award winning festival which most recently beat Electric Picnic and Longtitude to be named the IMRO festival of the year for 2016.

Eir Spiders Digital Workshop

Confident, charismatic and full of energy, Barry Walsh delivered an excellent presentation on 'Understanding mobile experience for business'.  As Digital Marketing Manager for Supermacs Ireland Barry oversees management and development of Online Digital Strategy and implementation for Supermac's Ireland.   Barry also spoke about Digital Transformation and shared news of the new Supermac's app launching soon.  He also touched on branding through Social Media and Google Analytics for business.  

Previously, Barry worked as Lead Digital Consultant for Failte Ireland for 4 years, and was the Digital Strategy Manager for lead digital tourism agency OSD Digital. He was also a Digital mentor for Bank of Ireland and a Google Entrepreneur Mentor.  

Paul Mulqueen, Head of Small Business, eir

Eir Spiders Digital Workshop

Sharing some real life examples from his own personal experiences, Paul gave a true and honest insight into the use of social media for small to medium size businesses.  There was lots to be learnt during Paul's presentation on 'The Revolution of Social Media in Small Business', with some top tips and tools shared,  allowing you to take your business into the digital age!

Paul started in eir over 19 years ago, when it was Telecom Eireann, within the IT department. He began his career as a Trainee Test Analyst testing the introduction of a new and innovative product called ‘broadband’! Since then, Paul’s role has evolved as he progressed through the company becoming a Product Manager for Value Added Services and Broadband. While in this role, he took the retail product lead in the development and implementation of fibre broadband in Ireland.

Following this, he became Head of Product for Small Business and subsequently the Head of Small Business where he manages the product and propositions areas for the business unit. Through his role, Paul has seen first-hand how the explosion of social media has helped small businesses thrive.  Paul knows it’s powerful to be connected online but that’s not enough, how you use your channels and what you say to your customers is what really takes a small business to the next level. 

Panel Discussion / Q & A

With an eager and engaged audience there was no shortage of questions at the end, all answered comprehensively by the panel.  Every day is a learning day in the 'Digital Space' so I have no doubt everyone left with some nugget of wisdom and excited to integrate (or improve) a digital marketing strategy into their marketing plan.  I certainly gained from bieng part of the workshop and I am looking forward to implementing some new and exciting strategies into my own digital marketing plan over the coming months.

Mini Media Meets... Kerry Manning - Personal Branding Specialist and Marketing Coach

I love life.  I am a marketer, a blogger, a speaker, an artist and art teacher and a writer.  Despite varied interests, my passion is marketing, a field I have worked in for over 30 years.  I get really excited about the marketing process especially branding.

 Kerry Manning

Personal Branding Specialist and Marketing Coach

Tell us about Kerry Manning

I love life.  I am a marketer, a blogger, a speaker, an artist and art teacher and a writer.  

Despite varied interests, my passion is marketing, a field I have worked in for over 30 years.  I get really excited about the marketing process especially branding.  The brand is the core of any marketing plan and I love working with clients to help them develop their personal brand, and in turn develop this into a marketing strategy that delivers tangible results.

We live in a world where everything is online and a strong personal brand and message is very important. We are unique and finding that uniqueness and marketing it is what makes us successful.

What do you offer?

I offer a solution to the busy business person who is overwhelmed by marketing and especially getting themselves out there.  Coaching is a really cost effective way of focussing yourself on what you need in terms of brand and marketing.

Each programme consists of personalised one to one coaching over a period of three or 6 months. It is all individual to your company and challenges and targeted and results driven.  It isn’t a generic course, but rather an investment in your business designed to make a difference to sales.

By using customised practical assignments we work together to develop a brand and a strategy that is unique to your business.  A brand that will draw customers to you.

It is really a combination of coaching and consulting.  We work through a process I call the marketing wheel, where we distil your brand, clearly identify your target customer and the challenges he faces.  Every customer profile is unique and figuring out how your customer consumes information if vital. Finally we look at how you can deliver a solution to your customer’s needs and make the sale.

How does this support the work of a marketing agency such as Mini Media

The two processes work in perfect harmony.  The coaching process is about planning and creating the core brand – getting the messaging right.  An agency such as Mini Media is perfect to make sure that it all happens.  If your brand and message is clear and consise, your logo, website and social media strategy will flow beautifully and will definitely deliver results.  

How is the coaching delivered

I generally work on Skype or Zoom as I find that this is the most time economical for my clients.  Each session is an hour long, but there is definitely a need to put time aside for putting the ideas and techniques into practice.

How can people get in contact with you?

Ideally by email on kerry@kamva.net or via Linkedin or Facebook.

Mini Media Meets... Sharon Fitzmaurice

My aim is to help people to help themselves. Once we take responsibility for our own healing and happiness, something amazing happens, we become the creators of our own destiny.

Tell us about Sharon Fitzmaurice Holistic Wellness Coach...

My aim is to help people to help themselves. Once we take responsibility for our own healing and happiness, something amazing happens, we become the creators of our own destiny.

I have been working in the area of people's wellness since 2008 through Meditation, Reiki energy therapy, Mindfulness, Positive self awareness and Personal development. 

What do you offer?

One to One Therapy Session

I offer my clients a one to one therapy session where I work intuitively with their energy. This means that I will tune into their energy to assess what it is they need the most at this present time. We start from that point and take it one step at a time, working on emotional or mental blocks that may be holding them back in their lives. The most important part of anyone's healing is understanding what they are feeling and thinking. We get to the root of each issue and help them to build skills and techniques to work with these issues instead of trying to eliminate them, everything we have gone or are going through in life is teaching us something about ourselves, it is up to us how we learn from them. I will help you.  

Group Sessions

Healing Circles

Life has become so busy and we are finding less and less time to connect with each other.I believe we all want a community where we connect to like-minded people in a safe and friendly environment. I have been running groups since 2008 and it is amazing to see the support people offer to each other when they share their experiences with one another. We have so much to learn from each other and when we learn to open up we are helping release the taboo of speaking from our hearts and helping others to do the same. It is truly one of the most healing experiences within a group setting. We start off with relaxation exercises and I will then guide the group into a deep and relaxing guided visualisation where we encounter the deeper parts of our mind, body and spirit and really listen. In this silence we become aware of our hidden fears and worries, we acknowledge and accept them in order to let them go. Not until we are aware of how we feel can we deal wit it. 

Mindfulness Awareness Programme

Like much of my work I come from a holistic approach to everything I do, I not only guide and help people to be mindful of their daily experiences but also to be present in each moment to help them understand what they are feeling is part of that experience.  I have worked with private, school and corporate groups for the past number of years and it is all a joy to see people learning how to be more present in their personal and professional lives, knowing who they are and moving forward in their lives with a more positive approach. Mindfulness is a practise and one that must be learned like everything else we have learned to do in our lives. Once you bring this beautiful practise into your daily life, you will open up new gateways in your mind, body and spirit. 

Reiki Energy Therapy Teaching

As a Reiki Master, Teacher & Practitioner, I have taught many students over the years to learn to be able to help themselves and others in an intuitive and gentle way. Reiki (pronouned Ray-Key) is a gentle hands on healing energy therapy which helps to release blocked energy that otherwise should be flowing freely within our energy system. When we have blocks in our energy, sometimes as a result of trauma, fear or conditioned beliefs passed down through the years, we are not running at 100%, we are existing from day to day but not fully living the life we want or know what that life would feel like. Before any of my students become practitioners, they too must go through learning and understanding of their energy system, mind, body and spirit and in helping themselves to better understand how to heal their own issues, they in turn can help others. They will learn how to develop their intuitive abilities so they can help others not just from their own knowledge but by what is best for their clients in that moment. It is truly a doorway into self discovery and self love. 

Your workshops & retreats sound amazing, tell us about them...

As part of my own personal and professional development, I created a number of workshops and retreats over the years, in helping others learn I am also growing in confidence and creating new and exciting challenges for myself. We cannot ask everyone else to grow and learn if we are not doing so ourselves. 

Each workshop or retreat offers a special theme that we will work deeper into what it means to each person, we are all individuals, so no two people we see,hear or feel the same things, this is what makes every training I do with people exciting and always fun. We commit a day or weekend to ourselves and in that commitment we are choosing to accept the change we want to create in our lives. 

Exciting times ahead for the launch of your new book in December 2017, what's it all about?

I am currently in the process of finishing my book which is to be launched this year, it is an awareness and of healing, recovery and ongoing mindful awareness that we all need love and support. I hope it gives you all the courage to share your story too. 

Like our lives, our stories are forever changing, our start in life remains the same but we can always change the ending

A picture is worth a thousand words 

The importance of professional photos for your business:

Investing in professional photos for your business website is a must.  First impressions count and a single image is more valuable than tonnes of words.  When it comes to the appearance of your website, simple, clean and professional will make you stand out from your competitors.  

We are a visual culture. A strong photography creates more conversions by capturing the imagination and helps us understand context without needing to read the print.  It's so important to get your customers attention and then keep it!!!  Great photos are an investment that pays for itself tenfold when done with care and love.

The power of video 

The importance of video marketing for your business: 

Video marketing should now form part of your promotion toolbox.   Video is one of the most versatile and profitable digital marketing tools out there.   Videos build trust and allows you to build long term relationships.   

Video content can tug on peoples emotions and can foster trust as well.  Not forgetting google loves videos.  If you have a video embedded into your website you are 53 times more likely to show up first on Google.  

When it comes to launching a new product or service a video is key and video encourages social engagement and shares.   Video marketing is becoming more and more affordable and widespread but make sure if you are going to do it, do it right!!!!

Proudly presenting...

The wonderful work of Julia & Kenny, Wonerfulife Productions

I had the pleasure of working with Wonderfulife Productions on this recent video for my client Wigs at... Bellissimo.  What I love so much about this video is that Julia and Kenny captured the passion, sincerity and expertise of the wig consultant Rita.  This video is informative, engaging and professional.
