Facebook in Ireland Stats

Facebook in Ireland Infographic

Coming to a social media presentation near you!  This is a great infographic on the usage of Facebook in Ireland, created by Edelman Ireland, with help from Dave Molloy and Damien Mulley.

Interesting to see the most popular age groups.  Would be great if Facebook broke these down a little more.  We’d love to see a demographic category from 13-16 and then from 17-19.  Also, of course there are lots of Facebook accounts we know of from children, under 13, who lie about their age.

Social Media Day in Ireland

We’re celebrating Social Media Day by having a little reflection on what social media has enabled us to do.

  • Social media removes barriers; we can connect, network and do business both locally, nationally and internationally and compete with big agencies in a way that we never could have 5 years ago.  (Hence us feeling a little chuffed when we were shortlisted as the only non-Dublin agency shortlisted in the Social Media Awards Best Agency category).
