The presentation showed video clips of recent marketing stunts that Paddy Power has become renowned for that included Floyd Mayweather’ recent weigh in for the fight with Conor McGregor with Paddy Power branded underwear and the fake news rainforest stunt in the Amazon.
Allan Shine, CEO of the Chamber said, “We were delighted with the success of the breakfast. Marketing is such an important tool for business and to hear how to use marketing effectively to promote your business from one of the world’s leading marketing giants Paddy Power was excellent. Over the next few months we are continuing to provide the seminars, workshops and business briefings that our members are asking for. High on our agenda will be briefings on topics such as GDPR, Cyber Crime and its impact for business and we will also be partnering with LEO Kildare on an array of workshops for business”.
