Irish digital marketing agency Vroom Digital has been recognised at the 2025 European Search Awards, taking home two category wins for work delivered in partnership with EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. The awards ceremony took place earlier this month in Krakow, Poland, bringing together Europe's leading agencies to celebrate innovation in digital search and performance marketing. Recognised as a benchmark of excellence across the industry, the European Search Awards honour outstanding work in SEO, paid media, and digital PR. Vroom Digital took home two major awards for standout campaigns created in partnership with EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. Competing against agencies from across Europe, the team secured Best Use of PR in a Search Campaign for The Love Story Before 'Love Story': Driving Links Through PR & Storytelling, a campaign that paired emotional narrative with a strategic digital PR approach. They also won Best Use of Social Media in a Search Campaign for The EPIC Untold Story Behind Fairytale of New York, which tapped into nostalgia and platform-specific creative to drive engagement and boost search visibility. Both campaigns were executed in close collaboration with EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, combining emotional storytelling, strategic PR, and targeted digital distribution to drive meaningful engagement and improve search performance. Shane Curtin, CEO & Founder of Vroom Digital, said, "We're incredibly proud to see these campaigns recognised on a European stage. It's a true testament to the strength of our partnership with EPIC and their creative partners, Public House, and the collaborative thinking that drives success on all sides. At Vroom, we've built a team that thrives on delivering culturally relevant, performance-led campaigns - and these awards reflect our commitment to meaningful storytelling that delivers real results. Working with EPIC gave us the opportunity to push creative and strategic boundaries, and to show the impact that smart, well-executed digital - across PR and paid media - can truly have when driven by insight and intention." The agency continues to strengthen its reputation for delivering integrated digital campaigns that balance creativity with performance. These European Search Award wins follow recent recognition at The Spider Awards, Ireland's longest-running digital awards, where Vroom received the Grand Prix and Best in Storytelling award. Vroom Digital delivers tailored SEO, Paid Media, and Digital PR strategies that help clients cut through the noise, build a stronger online presence, and drive measurable growth.

Tuesday morning's briefing from The Celtic Way.

V Evropě rozhodují námi volení politici, nikoliv nějací bezejmenní úředníci. To největší slovo mají premiéři a prezidenti, kteří zasedají na summitu, nebo-li na Evropské radě. O čem jedná, jaké má pravomoci a proč se vyplatí sledovat, jestli právě tam je český politik schopen „ukázat koule“? Díky podcastu Bruselský diktát pochopíte, že pro nás Čechy má mnohem větší význam dění v Evropě než v Praze a v Česku vůbec. A že to rozhodně není nuda. Poslouchejte Ondřeje Housku a Michala Půra, skutečné insidery, kteří znají bruselské i české zákulisí. Doporučená kniha: Luuk van Middelaar, Alarums & Excursions. Improvising Politics on the European Stage.

"Europe will be forged in crisis, and will be the sum of the solutions adopted for those crises", these were the words of Jean Monnet. But what is a crisis, and how does Europe act when it is confronted by one? Join Brendan and Charelle as they have a conversation with two CERiM experts, Dr. Esther Versluis and Johan Adriaensen PhD, who will lead them through crisis management 101.

Po letnej prestávke prichádza nová séria podcastu Modrá vlna. Európu čaká zaujímavá a zároveň aj trochu konfliktná jeseň, pretože na stole je rámcový rozpočet Únie na najbližších sedem rokov a spolu s ním mimoriadny balík určený na obnovu európskych ekonomík postihnutých dôsledkami pandémie Covid-19. No a s tým samozrejme súvisí aj príprava nášho národného plánu obnovy a reforiem. Som si istý, že hľadanie dohody vo vládnej koalícii o politických prioritách a peniazoch nebude ani jednoduché, ani pokojné. A neprekvapilo by ma ani to, ak by poslanci Národnej rady prišli s požiadavkou zapojiť náš domáci parlament do rozhodovania o budúcich reformách ešte predtým, než ich Komisia v apríli definitívne schváli – podobnú ambíciu už totiž avizovali aj hlavné politické skupiny v Európskom parlamente. No je tu aj návrh nástrojov na monitorovanie fungovania právneho štátu v členských štátoch EÚ vrátane automatických finančných sankcií. A aby to bolo ešte komplikovanejšie, A zdrojom konfliktu môžu byť aj návrhy na zavedenie nových vlastných zdrojov, čiže príjmov európskeho rozpočtu, jednoducho povedané, nových daní. A ďalší návrh na reformu azylového systému, čo znamená, že sa bude hovoriť aj o kvótach. Do toho určite prídu snahy o harmonizáciu opatrení proti šíreniu pandémie, ďalšie protesty proti noseniu rúšok a pravdepodobne asi sto iných vecí. Bude veselo. Nuž a práve preto budem dnes hovoriť o niečom celkom inom – o knihe Luuka van Middelaara ktorá má názov “Alarums and Excursions” a o jeho myšlienke, že na európskej úrovni existujú dva typy rozhodovania: rozhodovanie o pravidlách a rozhodovanie o reakciách na neplánované a nečakané udalosti. Nebudem hovoriť sám – mojim spoludiskutérom je Dalibor Roháč, zahraničnopolitický analytik, publicista a autor dvoch kníh, jednej o globalizme a druhej o Európskej únii.

In The Singing Turk: Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage from the Siege of Vienna to the Age of Napoleon (Stanford University Press, 2016), Larry Wolff takes us into that distinctly European art form, the opera, to show us the reflection of European ideas of Ottoman Turkey in the modern period. Beginning in 1683 when Ottoman guns shook the walls of Vienna, through a long eighteenth century, and up to Napoleon's military supremacy in the nineteenth, when Turkish conquest of Europe was “no longer really imaginable” (402), the singing Turk in one form or another, dazzled, terrified, and enchanted European audiences from Vienna, to Venice, to Paris. Professor Wolff's discussion of the music—its creation, its reception, and its context—is richly entertaining and accessible to the layman. It also reveals important currents in political and cultural thought during the Enlightenment in a Europe with ever-broader horizons. Professor Wolff moves between decades and opera houses, to argue that, rather than being some simplistic oriental foil, the operatic Turk ultimately allows the European audience to see its own humanity in a trans-Mediterranean alter ego, and composers and librettists to resolve the two in harmony with plenty of drama and humor along the way. The reader of the Singing Turk is advised to listen along on YouTube to the operas, other compositions, and Turkish military orchestra that appear in The Singing Turk. Professor Wolff has also collected quite a few of these on a website, http://www.singingturk.com/. In our podcast, Professor Wolff also discusses twenty-first century implications of this long cultural, political, and diplomatic relationship. Furthermore, he explains one of the opera's more peculiar romantic roles of (now mercifully defunct), that of the castrato (adult performer castrated in boyhood) and why such an actor never played the Turkish eunuch. Professor Wolff is Silver Professor, Professor of History, and Director of Mediterranean Studies at New York University. He specializes in the history of Eastern Europe, the Habsburg Monarchy, the Enlightenment, and the history of childhood, writing from an intellectual, cultural, literary—and now musical—perspective. His work considers East and West and the dialectic relationship between the two, as he did with his Inventing Eastern Europe: The Map of Civilization in the Mind of the Enlightenment (1994). The Singing Turk is his seventh book. Krzysztof Odyniec is a historian of the Early Modern Spanish Empire specializing on culture, diplomacy, and travel. He completed his PhD in 2017 at UC Berkeley where he is now a Visiting Scholar; he also teaches at Los Medanos College and Berkeley City College. Learn more about your ad choices.
