Social media campaign
2016 was the centenary of the 1916 Rising, which ultimately led to the creation of the Irish Republic. It occurred to me that if social media had been around a hundred years ago the whole revolution would have been covered, as it happened, on twitter and others. So I set up @1916Live, by posting live the first dawn of the year exactly one hundred years later to the minute. It took a lot of prep. Hundreds of posts were transcribed and scheduled (because revolutions aren't nine-to-five). It was great fun and achieved 377,000 impressions. And just like the Rising itself, after six days of furious activity, it was over.
Art Gallery website
Website design for the renowned Oliver Sears Gallery which included profiles for twenty artists and over fifty exhibitions.
