What Our Members Say

ISME’s Marketing campaign 'Ambition'.

We wanted the campaign to be from the point of view of member experiences and asked five current members to participate. The members who took part in this campaign are:

  • Tom Keogh, Keogh's
  • Kate Dillon, The Wooden Spoon
  • Ciaran Murtagh, Shay Murtagh Precast
  • Suzanne Bannon, John Bannon Ltd
  • Diarmuid Crowley, Wild Orchard

We organised a photoshoot and video interviews with each member, at their place of business. We asked them to talk about their businesses, the challenges they face, their ambitions for their company and how being a member of ISME has helped them. It was interesting for us in ISME to hear about the different ways being part of ISME benefited their businesses. For some, it was the HR and general advice they have received, for others it was training; marketing, events, cost savings, and the representation ISME provide through lobbying for SMEs.
