GIRL ABOUT TOWN #NIBloggerBrunch

PR and influencer brand boss Cathy Martin’s hugely successful #NIBloggerBrunch was the first of its kind in Ireland back in 2015. The landmark social networking event celebrated its seven-year milestone with the latest get together for creators in the stunning surroundings of the Titanic Hotel. Supported by local tan brand Bellamianta, the sell-out event welcomed creators at every level, age and category, with interviews from Nathan Grimley, the man behind @boredoflunch, whose easy, calorie-counted recipes sky rocketed over the pandemic, as well as Siobhan Murphy @interiorcurve who shot to fame on BBC’s Interior Design Masters alongside Belfast’s Paul Moneypenny. Annette Kelly, AKA Little Penny Thoughts, also spoke about resilience and being true to self, while host Cathy celebrated the true sense of community and support among the creator community in the north. Other guests included make up gurus Louise McDonnell and Paddy McGurgan as well as Q Radio’s Jordan Humphries and Cool FM’s Katharine Walker.
