Here ya go, saw it yesterday. How he manages to keep persuading fools to keep bank rolling him is astounding.

Lovin' Jordan? What a world.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

Oh, its Lovin' Dubai, pretentious and generally in bad taste, makes sense

I did find this feature on Jordan though

Jordan is a country that is steeped in history, it dates back to 90,000 BC and gained independence 70 years ago.

I'm no historian* but that doesn't seem to make any sense.

*I am however a pedant.

Ex-Topaz chief O’Neill secures 40% stake in Lovin Group

Irish businessman Emmet O’Neill: perhaps best known for founding Smiles Dental in 2005, which he sold for €36 million in 2014.


Irish businessman Emmet O’Neill has invested €500,000 in local online publisher Lovin Group, The Irish Times has learned.

This has secured a stake of just below 40 per cent for the former Topaz chief executive and will be used to support the company’s expansion both here and overseas.

Lovin Group was established in 2011 by Niall Harbison with Irish rugby star Jamie Heaslip as an investor.

It is best known for its Lovin Dublin site but has since franchised the concept to Malta and Dubai, launched recently in Manchester, and is planning the formal launch of Lovin.ie here on Wednesday.

The sites offer a mix of restaurant reviews, lifestyle tips and tourist guides. Mr Harbison said the Lovin.ie site would provide news and reviews from around the country.

“We’re trying to branch out and replicate what we have in Dublin in other cities,” he said.

The company is also expanding its workforce in Ireland and abroad, with Mr Harbison predicting it would reach 20 by the end of October. “We have a number of positions that we’re looking to fill.”

It has turnover of more than €1 million, generating revenue for branded content from a range of advertisers, including Guinness, Samsung and Visa.

Content is optimised for mobile access and delivered through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and various websites.

“The publishing world is being upended and we are seeing new business models and media platforms being created,” Mr Harbison said. “That provides enormous opportunities for us.

“The key is to make sure our content continues to resonate with readers and is seen as relevant to their lives and interests. Happily, about four million readers each month confirm that we are doing that.”

Mr O’Neill, who is a nephew of Denis O’Brien, stepped down as Topaz CEO in February following the sale of the company to Canadian group Couche-Tard. He is perhaps best known for founding Smiles Dental in 2005, which he sold for €36 million in 2014.

Has Harbo been replaced as Dublin's most loathed media dickhead by that Leo Sherlock guy?

 

[Theseus Mock]

Definitely gives him a run for his money but with much worse viewpoints.

 

[rettucs]

he doesn't have the reach of harbo so while he might be a bigger cunt, hes not as big a pain in the hole.

he only has a handful of twitter followers. Harbo is fucking everywhere, the prick.

 

[east hastings]

naw i'd happily take Harbo over Leo. Like Harbo is a bit of a cunt, while Leo is a cunt.

How do you do polls on this thing?
