Whether assembling in-house teams or hiring outside vendors, smart companies are pulling back from ego-driven Influencers in favor of true content from independent content creators. This tactic often is not only less expensive, but — posting authentic content on your own website can create better outcomes. Step back. When conventional TV failed to reach mass audiences in traditional numbers in the millions, marketers wondered how to get their numbers back in shape. Snap.

Coppinger Row, Dublin 2 ★ 8.5/10Almost 1,000 days passed between Coppinger Row closing and Coppinger opening, this time without the “Row”. Returning as a one-word diva, like Beyoncé; Bey doesn’t need the Knowles and Coppinger no longer required the Row. This is not a new opening, it is a reopening.

14-18 Aston Quay, Temple Bar, Dublin 2★9.5/10Not to be dramatic, but the first bite can make or break a restaurant experience. Honestly, if it’s bad it threatens to taint every mouthful following the first. If it’s good it primes the stage for a blissful experience to unfold. If it’s great every subsequent forkful may even need to compete to compare.

Nonbelievers is one of the seven pieces of Primal Code® included in the Primal Branding sequence. In Primal Branding, nonbelievers refers to those people who are opposed to your brand’s values, reason for being or message. They often distinguish themselves by playing the role of oppositional characters. Companies spend hours, days, months trying to pinpoint who they are and what they want to become. This is a classic positioning exercise, and necessary to differentiate ourselves in the market.

11 locations across Ireland (Dublin, Belfast, Cork) ★ 8.5/10If you have never watched the animated series Bob’s Burgers, which sits in a similar realm to Family Guy, we implore you to delve in. Perfect fodder for mindless binge viewing as you rot on the couch on lazy weekends. Take your pick of 14 seasons thus far. The series traces the (mis)adventures of the Belcher family, a totally pedestrian, nuclear family who run — and live above — a small, struggling burger shop in New Jersey.

Unit 12, Carrick Retail & Business Park, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co Roscommon★ 8/10There are certain dishes that stick with you in this line of work. As time bobs by like a lazy river, old memories give way for new ones, so it isn’t always easy to recount every dish of a particular experience months, or even weeks, later. Yes, this job affords the opportunity to be dazzled regularly by dishes, but the truth is sometimes it can be monotonous when you’re tasting similar things all the time.

15 Castle Market, Dublin 2★ 7/10When critiquing a place and assessing the cut of its jib, the food is foremost, service a close second and the setting is definitely taken into account. But does a quick scan of the clientele influence any assertion? It certainly helps to determine how a place positions itself in the market and whether it appeals to its desired target. The best of them hit the bullseye effortlessly.
