Goodbye June - Brian Eno's "Discreet Music" at 50 - Ciaran Carson's "The Brimming World: Selected Essays"

In this episode of The Digital Marketing Podcast, Daniel Rowles and Ciaran Rogers dive into one of the most significant shifts in digital marketing: the rise of non keyword signals and what it means for search, privacy, and the future of campaign targeting. With AI-powered ad platforms like Google's AI Max and social algorithms driven by behavioural data rather than search intent, the old model of keyword-driven marketing is rapidly giving way to something more opaque, more personalised, and potentially more invasive. Daniel and Ciaran explore how AI systems now use a vast array of signals, from your browsing patterns and email content to your location history and viewing habits, to anticipate what you might want before you even search. But what does this mean for marketers who've spent years honing their SEO and PPC strategies? And what does it mean for user privacy in a world where your chatbot conversations may be fuelling ad targeting? In This Episode: What are non keyword signals? Understand how platforms like Google and Meta are using behaviour, context and historical activity instead of just search terms. Why your impressions are up but clicks are down Learn how AI summaries in Google Search are reducing organic click-throughs, even when your rankings are strong. AI Max campaigns and keywordless targeting Discover how Google Ads is shifting towards AI-led campaigns that rely on intent and engagement signals rather than keyword triggers , and why some brands are seeing 20–30% uplift as a result. What Meta's CMO said about disconnected content Hear how Alex Schultz explained the shift from connected (likes, follows) to disconnected content (Reels, Stories, Shorts), and what that means for social strategy. Privacy concerns and grey areas Explore the implications of Meta's new terms allowing AI chat interactions to inform ad targeting, and whether AI chat data could be inadvertently shared or commercialised. Real-world scenario: Chatbots used for lead capture Daniel raises a powerful example, what if you offered a free AI chatbot to other brands, then harvested user intent data for your own ad targeting? Platform security, data visibility and agent risks From OneDrive access errors to AI agents managing your logins, the hosts discuss the human errors that AI amplifies, and the need for robust security practices. Key Takeaways: We're entering a post-keyword era Platforms are using AI to interpret intent through broader, richer data sources, including chat behaviour, video viewing and app usage. Organic traffic is being cannibalised by AI summaries Even if your visibility improves, actual user clicks may continue to decline. Privacy risks are growing Terms and conditions are changing, and conversations with AI tools may no longer be as private as they seem. Marketing teams must audit how they use AI Understand what data your AI tools are accessing and how that data could be used, now and in the future. Join the conversation This isn't just a podcast - it's an open debate. Daniel and Ciaran want your input, and they're giving away prizes, books and merch to contributors.

In this episode, we sit down with a young land investor who built a real business long before most people even choose a career path. He started flipping land in 2019 from Ireland and has already moved over a hundred properties across the U.S. What began as curiosity from books and podcasts turned into a full-time operation using direct mail, subdivisions, outbound channels, and a level of persistence most people never develop. He shares the highs, the lows, and the reality of trying to grow a land business when the market keeps shifting under your feet.We dive into his earliest sparks of entrepreneurship. Importing phones as a teenager, trading Tesla stock, and studying the Irish financial crisis — all of which shaped how he thinks about risk and opportunity. He walks us through his first deals, including a landlocked $3,000 parcel that turned into a $12,000 win, and the title issues that nearly knocked him out before he understood what true due diligence looks like. From the early days to now, he makes one thing clear. This business rewards the people who learn fast, stay curious, and don't quit the first time a neighbor threatens to block the road.If you care about building a land business that actually lasts — one that survives market swings, legal headaches, and the emotional rollercoaster of deal-by-deal income — this conversation will give you a grounded, smarter way to think about acquisitions, operations, and long-term wealth.===Key Topics:-How he flipped 100 land deals from Ireland-The $3k landlocked deal that changed everything-The market shift killing beginners right now-The overseas setup that made his business unstoppable-The team and strategy behind consistent $25k to $30k deals===

In this episode, Pete catches up with Ciaran Strachan, President of the Institute of Payroll Management (IPM) (formerly the Australian Workforce Compliance Council) for an update on his bold vision and the progress made since his visit to the show in 2024. Cairan provides updates on the progress and ongoing work by the IPM to designate payroll as a standalone industry, a key driver for the development of a universal Payroll Body of Knowledge (BOK) currently underway at the IPM, and the push to create formal payroll degrees and certifications with university credentialing.   Pete and Ciaran discuss the differentiator in “payroll relations” and not employee relations governing payroll, and the need for payroll relations as a formal role. They also discuss the politics and headwinds the IPM faces in repositioning payroll in Australia, and explore payroll's path to and case for C-suite representation.  Plus, why is it time for a global standard for payroll education and a central global consortium to bring the payroll knowledge and education entities of the world together, and how the IMF is leading the way!

In episode #250 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Andrew Davie from Bear's Den and Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Lavery to discuss their beautiful new collaborative EP Promiser — a stripped-back collection celebrating love, simplicity, and connection. Quietly recorded over just five days in Andrew's home studio and released via Communion Records, Promiser explores the art of restraint — capturing songs in one-take performances filled with birdsong, rain, and real human imperfection. “There was this lyrical idea early on of trying to write songs that didn't need innate conflict or tragedy to exist — songs that celebrated love in its simple, domestic moments, without the need for high drama.” — Andrew Davie, Bear's Den Drawing inspiration from the intimacy of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska and Adrianne Lenker's Bright Future, Promiser sees both artists embracing the beauty of limitation, joined by guests Emma Gatrill and Joshua Burnside for instinctive, emotionally charged one-take performances. In this conversation, Bear's Den and Ciaran Lavery reflect on the friendship and creative spark behind Promiser — writing songs without conflict, finding meaning in everyday love, capturing raw home-studio moments, and bringing the record to life on their fast-selling Irish tour. “Working with Bear's Den felt almost accidental — we followed what felt right, not what was perfect.” — Ciaran Lavery “Ciaran's songs would just appear — almost fully formed — and that was a real joy to witness.” — Andrew Davie, Bear's Den Bear's Den are known worldwide for their cinematic folk sound and emotional honesty. Ciaran Lavery, one of Ireland's most acclaimed singer-songwriters, is celebrated for his poetic lyricism and intimate storytelling. Together, they've created something special with Promiser — a record that captures the raw beauty of two songwriters in complete creative trust.

Over the past number of days but the rate of road deaths in Ireland almost equal to the number of deaths over the same period in 2024. Three people died in separate accidents on Irish roads over the weekend as well as one cyclist in Cork City.

All to discuss with Ciaran Cannon, President of Cycling Ireland and a former Fine Gael TD for Galway East.

Waterford and play hurling with An Sean Phobal, the club that his father played for in the 1960s.Ciaran joined Matt on Monday's The Last Word to tell him why he felt compelled to do it.Hit the ‘Play' button on this page to hear the conversation.

Pretty much everyone in this country, either directly or indirectly, is affected by the housing crisis. And it has come up as topic on this podcast time and time again. We have had lots of guests that are hugely successful in the world of writing, acting, performance, but who can't afford to buy a home and/or who are looked at very unfavourably by the banks for a mortgage. And its come up in my conversations with campaigners like rory hearne and Ciaran crazy house prices. And it's a subject that my special guest Conor Skehan has a lot of experience in and a lot to say about. Conor is an expert in planning and architecture and in 2013 the government appointed him as chair of the Housing agency, a role he held for 5 years. And in that time Conor learned a lot about housing – not just the facts and figures and the big picture stuff, but why its is such a complex, emotional issue that we find so hard to fix. He has a lot of strong opinions about it, and he doesn't hold back in this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast. COMEDY - Leo Varadkar has recorded an audio version of his hotly-anticipated autobiography, and he's even convinced a few of his former political colleagues to take part in the recording.

He became one of the 'Twelve Apostles of Ireland', all of them disciples of St Finnian. Ciaran founded the great monastery of Clonmacnoise (pronounced clon-mac-neesh) on the Shannon River, which became one of Ireland's great monasteries. Once, during a great famine, He distributed all of the monastery's food to the people, entrusting his monks' survival, and his own, to providence.

Far beyond a productivity hack or sustainability trend, the regenerative mindset offers marketers and leaders a framework to design work, creativity and impact that helps build value. You'll have to listen to find out about the Goose! Drawing from systems thinking and marketing strategy, Daniel and Ciaran challenge the “hustle at all costs” mentality and instead champion a more humane, resilient and adaptable approach to digital marketing. In This Episode: What is a Regenerative Mindset? Understand the key difference between sustainability and regeneration - why one aims to sustain the status quo and the other aims to restore, replenish, and grow. Rethinking Productivity and Growth Explore why traditional productivity models are failing marketers in the age of AI, information overload, and fragmented attention, and what to do instead. AI as a Regenerative Tool Rather than using AI to do more, faster, Daniel and Ciaran explore how AI can help reduce cognitive burden, fuel creativity, and foster experimentation when used mindfully. Designing Regenerative Marketing Systems Discover how regenerative principles, such as reciprocity, interdependence, and feedback loops, can help build more sustainable, and effective marketing strategies. Tools, Mindsets and Micro-practices From digital decluttering to reflective learning and systems thinking, the hosts share practical approaches to integrating regeneration into your professional life. Key Takeaways: Regeneration is not about working less, it's about working in flow with better results and less burnout Marketers must go beyond campaign thinking and start designing ecosystems of value and renewal Rest, reflection and curiosity are not luxuries, they're strategic assets A regenerative mindset helps you lead through complexity and adapt with clarity The future of digital marketing isn't just AI or data, it's resilience, systems thinking, and human-centred creativity.

What's Inside This Episode: AI Max Campaigns in Google Ads Discover how Google's new AI-powered campaign structure is changing the game. It's not just another bidding strategy, it's an integrated layer that leverages keywordless signals, context, and user behaviour across Google properties to personalise campaigns. Learn why separating these into siloed budgets might actually hinder performance and what you need to consider before rolling out. The Vanishing Organic Click While impressions are up, clicks are down. Daniel shares Target Internet's own data showing a drop in organic click-through rates and explains why Google's AI-generated answers, Reddit posts, and video content are pushing traditional organic listings further down the page. LLM Refs and the New SEO Frontier With AI overviews, ChatGPT, and other LLMs becoming key discovery engines, how do you make sure your brand shows up? The hosts explore LLMRefs, a tool that shows how different brands are ranking across major AI models, and reveal just how fragmented and competitive this new landscape is. Structured Data, Schema & the Knowledge Graph Daniel and Ciaran highlight the importance of schema markup and entity relationships in Google's Knowledge Graph, using tools like the Knowledge Graph Explorer to demonstrate how Google perceives your brand and its connections. If you're not surfacing in the right contexts, it could just be due to a missing link, literally. Search Engine Optimization ≠ Generative Engine Optimization The hosts challenge the idea that SEO principles remain unchanged in the world of AI. With so many variables, location, devices, user intent, history, and model-specific behavior, your approach needs to be more agile and nuanced than ever. Key Takeaways: Performance Max and AI Max are now core to Google Ads - understanding signals and context is essential Organic traffic is declining, but impressions may still rise - CTR is the new battleground You can't game the system anymore with a few smart keywords; LLMs require strong content, schema, and reputation The tools are out there - you just need to experiment, validate, and iterate Don't fall into the trap of “a little knowledge” - simplifying complex changes leads to bad decisions AI models aren't clairvoyant - you need to structure and declare your content clearly
