Google, Enterprise Ireland (EI) and the Local Enterprise Offices (LEO) have selected 21 SME’s as winners of the You’re The Business campaign. Roscommon-based video production company Spicy Dog Media was among the 21 named.
Now in its second year, You’re the Business is a training and mentoring programme that aims to accelerate Irish SME growth through digitalisation. In addition to the training, You’re the Business features a competition element to recognise and reward SMEs that have demonstrated a commitment to digital at different stages of their growth journey - from those who have launched a website, through to those who are just starting to export. Entrants were asked to submit a video no longer than two minutes in duration, detailing what their business means to them and an example of how they have used digital to drive / grow / enhance their business.
Peter Kilmartin, founder of Spicy Dog Media, said that the team were thrilled “to receive this prestigious accolade from Google. Spicy Dog Media was founded in 2017, where our very essence was born out of a desire and passion to harness the power of video to weave and produce compelling narratives. So making a digital presence wasn't just an afterthought, it's intrinsic to our identity. Our website stands as the primary showcase for clients and prospective customers, offering a glimpse into the exceptional quality of our work - and our genuine passion for our craft.
"Our digital footprint is the lifeblood of our operations. In an interconnected world, being digital is not a choice; it's a necessity. It enables us to engage with our audience, highlight our expertise, and provide unparalleled value and video quality to our clients. I'm honoured to be awarded this accolade from Google and we look forward to growing our business even further in the future."
Also on the winners list was County Leitrim based Pathfinders Custom Conversions.
Winners of the competition will receive a digital support package from Google which includes €1,000 Google ads credit, as well as one on one consultations with experts that will help them to further develop and grow their business. The selected businesses are invited to attend a celebratory event at Google’s The Foundry later this year.
