Carlin Creative Events and Communications has been founded by my friend and former colleague\u00a0Una Carlin. She has worked in many different creative senior marketing communications roles, at\u00a0Channel 4 Television,\u00a0 ITV and most recently the BBC in Northern Ireland and the English Regions.\u00a0While she has spent most of that time promoting and protecting corporate reputation, she has a\u00a0natural flare, personal interest and passion in putting on a good show. I know because, I have been\u00a0at them. She is a warm and gifted hostess and likes nothing better than taking a table setting, a\u00a0private room in a restaurant or an undressed, empty venue and using her unique talent and\u00a0excellent taste to elevate it into something really special. Whether it\u2019s for private or corporate\u00a0clients, I have no doubt Carlin Creative will produce unique experiential events that are either highly\u00a0personal to or brand building for clients. Una has the project management skills, vision, creative flare\u00a0and marketing communications capability to make something remarkable out of her new business. I\u00a0wish her the very best of luck in her new venture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In some little way, I can take credit for the idea behind Carlin Creative. It started at a Christmas lunch\u00a0Una hosted to thank us at Cancer Fund for Children for our business. She had been doing some\u00a0excellent communications consultancy work for us around Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. And during last year\u2019s Irish Open, she secured lots of coverage including a Belfast Telegraph front page cover of Rory McIlroy taking a selfie with Riverdance, during his Foundation\u2019s benefit event at our fabulous Daisy Lodge. When we (Liz Osborne our Director of Services) and I arrived for lunch it\u00a0became immediately apparent that Una is probably Northern Ireland\u2019s cross between Kirsty Allsop\u00a0and Nigella Lawson. From the tree to the table settings, food and choice of music, every single detail\u00a0was attended too making us feel special and very, very welcome. This got us talking about following\u00a0your dreams and doing what you are passionate about in life. And here we are today with the launch\u00a0of Carlin Creative. I have no doubt it will be a success<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Una Carlin of Carlin Creative worked with me during my time at Channel 4 as Commissioner of\u00a0History, Religion and Features programming. Her work on our projects was exceptional. She was\u00a0extremely tenacious and determined in getting us really excellent national and local publicity for our\u00a0programmes and has a natural eye for what makes a story or how to angle a promotion. She is great\u00a0to work with and an expert in running events, projects and press conferences. I can still recall\u00a0Channel 4\u2019s delight at the \u2018Channel Fortean\u2019 front page story she secured in the Daily Mail during her\u00a0promotion of Fortean TV; one of our more unusual series about the paranormal. Whether, it is\u00a0generating publicity, running a press conference or an opinion former event, Una assesses each\u00a0project on merit, sets the direction of travel and always delivers great results. I wish her every\u00a0success in this next chapter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
