Transcription

Jessie Clark: Hello and welcome to Humber TV. I¢â‚¬â„¢m Jessie Clark and today we¢â‚¬â„¢ve got Delia Macnamara from Imagine DPM. Welcome Delia!

Delia Macnamara: Hi! Jess, how are you?

Jessie Clark: I¢â‚¬â„¢m very well, thank you. Thanks for coming along. And I would just want to take a round and find out a bit more about you. Obviously, you are not from this country. Where about you from?

Delia Macnamara: I¢â‚¬â„¢m from Australia. Not the capital but may be some people do think that it is the capital, Sydney. But yeah, I was born in Adelaide and grew up in Canberra and then basically, lived in Sydney and then decided I needed to see the great big world and came over here.

Jessie Clark: So, you came here or did you see the rest of the world or¢â‚¬¦.

Delia Macnamara: Well, yes. Here and Tyrus and Belgium, I¢â‚¬â„¢ve sort of got very place everywhere.

Jessie Clark: And, you come as resident here now or ¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: Well, my father is English. So, I¢â‚¬â„¢ve got a British passport which is nice.

J

essie Clark: Okay.

Delia Macnamara: So, I am British.

Jessie Clark: That¢â‚¬â„¢s why I have to say that.

Delia Macnamara: No, but you know, it is sort of, been here long time now. So¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: But some people think that Australians have [1:27] because it¢â‚¬â„¢s harder for us to go there isn¢â‚¬â„¢t it, for English people to go there, and the Asians come here, is that right? We can only get there after two years or¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, on a working place. But if you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got one of those, you know if you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got the qualification or a roll that Australians need because, you know it makes a lot easier and if you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got some white money into the pocket. Then, of course you know Australia will open the doors to you. It¢â‚¬â„¢s just that they have an immigration policy so that you don¢â‚¬â„¢t get lots of low paid some of white workers coming in. And So, I mean, one example is you know in 1999 -2000, lots and lots of Australians came over here to basically work in the IT industry. So there was an IT shortage in Australia.

Jessie Clark: Really?

Delia Macnamara: So, they have got lots and lots and lots of bridge to cross to Australia to open an IT industry over there and stay there.

Jessie Clark: there is lot as well.

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.

Jessie Clark: So, what were you typically? What was a, did you learn here or whatever¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: Well, yeah. I was originally in London and I was working for the BBC. And, I got a job up in BBC Radio Humber Site.

Jessie Clark: So, you¢â‚¬â„¢re not actually based in the value¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: But that¢â‚¬â„¢s okay, Beverly Pal. Well, yeah. You know, so, I was working with the BBC Radio Humber Site and Just absolutely loved to be there. I just say to people we are brilliant I thought that the country site was great and it wasn¢â‚¬â„¢t southern, no I was just joking. Its Gods king country, I mean, so, you know it was really, really good. So, I basically, when I went back to London I sort of like started to make moves to come back up here and also, back then, it was like 2005 and Howl was a digital city.

Jessie Clark: Is that?

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, I know, I know. We¢â‚¬â„¢ll get there. We will get there. We are getting more and more initiatives of the ground, things like this, you know like humber.tv, I mean that¢â‚¬â„¢s quite digital, there is a whole digital which is around that Geek tom in 2012 that¢â‚¬â„¢s going to happen¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: What was that?

Delia Macnamara: Geek Tom 2012.

Jessie Clark: So, you are, you have a temporary contract with radio Humber¢â‚¬â„¢s site. Is that right what you were doing?

Delia Macnamara: No, no, I was there on convents so I was doing, being a broadcaster analyst somewhere in the buses.

Jessie Clark: Really?

Delia Macnamara: Yeah so, I was at front stand.

Jessie Clark: So, you have actually, you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got journalist experience.

Delia Macnamara: I have had an experience of being a journalist, yes.

Jessie Clark: Right.

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, it¢â‚¬â„¢s all very, very good then I came up here. Yeah, and it¢â‚¬â„¢s just being sort of everything I¢â‚¬â„¢ve done has to be ease with the digital sector. So, it¢â‚¬â„¢s, and we just recently, sort of like started up the Howl and east Yorkshire girl geek dinner group, which is, in 2005 a software engineer down in London called Sarah Blow basically was fed up of going to all these IT conferences and this feel like you know 250 men and 8 women. And that¢â‚¬â„¢s it. And then she told ¢â‚¬Å“Oh!, there¢â‚¬â„¢s got to be more women than that¢â‚¬ so she set up this thing called Girl Geek dinners and you know men are allowed to come along as well. What she is trying to do is just get the proportions so it¢â‚¬â„¢s like the 50-50 male and female or more female than male. And That¢â‚¬â„¢s now an international sort of phenomenon now and there¢â‚¬â„¢s like groups all over the world and there is membership of 30, 45 thousand women who made hard to get that who ranged from girls who doesn¢â‚¬â„¢t like gadgets, gaming programmers, like, people who do artificial intelligence and stuffs like that you know, creating robots and so on.

Jessie Clark: Really? That makes you a geek doesn¢â‚¬â„¢t it? If you want to know something, if you are into that¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: Well, obviously geek means being totally passionate about something. So, if you are totally passionate about something and we are talking about technology in this instance then, yes. Girl Geeks but we are actually extending that a little bit further to women who are in science and engineering and you know, math as well. But when you think about it, almost every one needs a gadget. Isn¢â‚¬â„¢t it so?

Jessie Clark: Yeah I think so. Yeah. I had apple IPod I had an IPod ¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: You had an IPod? Well, that¢â‚¬â„¢s exciting.

Jessie Clark: Yeah that¢â‚¬â„¢s quite an amazing thing. Was that fun?

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, it wasn¢â‚¬â„¢t what I expected at all because at the same moment when the guy from apple hold it up and then I haven¢â‚¬â„¢t talked about it anymore. And then, it was just to be an I mate to just somebody passed it on me, it was there and it wasn¢â‚¬â„¢t online. The wireless wasn¢â‚¬â„¢t there. But it¢â‚¬â„¢s just a big, iPod. It¢â‚¬â„¢s just, everything is bigger and it¢â‚¬â„¢s just really easy to use and nothing cannot be that simple you know that¢â‚¬â„¢s quite an expensive, expensive in terms of technology terms. Aren¢â‚¬â„¢t they like 350 pounds?

Jessie Clark: How much was the iPhone when that first came in?

Delia Macnamara: 350 pounds¢â‚¬¦yeah

Jessie Clark: So, you have an iPod Delia?

Delia Macnamara: No, I don¢â‚¬â„¢t. I¢â‚¬â„¢m not an apple lover.

Jessie Clark: All right, okay. So what do you use then?

Delia Macnamara: I generally try everything else but apple.

Jessie Clark: Why is that?

Delia Macnamara: So, to speak, because at very young age, I was traumatized by apple.

Jessie Clark: How? [laughing]

Delia Macnamara: Well, basically in 1985, when I was at school and we had apple max. You know there¢â‚¬â„¢s a little square things which you put into it like your floppy disk and you know, come out with a little smile, and at every time I needed to get a project in, it would almost like, okay! Yes I know they are supposed to be intuitive but not so intuitive that feel my stress and break down and chew off my work. So, as soon as I had a PC, I came out and I was like Yes and that¢â‚¬â„¢s all very great.

Jessie Clark: When I was at the school, we had the BBC computers running those out?

Delia Macnamara: Well no, if I was in Australia, so we don¢â‚¬â„¢t have the BBC computers¢â‚¬¦.

Jessie Clark: Ok, so.

Delia Macnamara: So, ever since.

Jessie Clark: For my apple since for my apple land. For anybody that doesn¢â‚¬â„¢t know about you, you are a social media queen, would you say? Would you when I call this name to you?

Delia Macnamara: Yes, but any way¢â‚¬¦ Well, I wouldn¢â‚¬â„¢t call my self a social media queen but I do have expertise in social media and technology and love to say.

Jessie Clark: And so, shall we start with, what was that, link 10?

Delia Macnamara: What have you used?

Jessie Clark: Well, I¢â‚¬â„¢m on Facebook, I want to learn Facebook, have a look at relationship with it, I can¢â‚¬â„¢t stand people¢â‚¬â„¢s statuses. I don¢â‚¬â„¢t want to know what people are eating with tea or whether they¢â‚¬â„¢ve started a website or that are going to better anything like that and I find that really irritating so that¢â‚¬â„¢s what makes me come off with. But, you know always, it¢â‚¬â„¢s anyway to stay in touch with some people. So, that¢â‚¬â„¢s why I¢â‚¬â„¢ve got back on it. And I don¢â‚¬â„¢t understand why people can¢â‚¬â„¢t wait; they want their friend list up but then if you see them in the street, they don¢â‚¬â„¢t really talk to me. And I also use links, you know, I have been unlimited for a while but it¢â‚¬â„¢s only the last few months since I¢â‚¬â„¢ve met you really that I have been using LinkedIn for and even a purpose for our business. And, I do, I really like LinkedIn. It¢â‚¬â„¢s quite complicated. It¢â‚¬â„¢s things that sort of got by and noticed and¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: So, I mean, what do you find, the most complicating thing really? That you¢â‚¬â„¢ve already come across, that you have overcome.

Jessie Clark: Well, I think that the thing is obviously you actually writing about yourself writing a CV, whereas Facebook is completely different components of your life. You have to think about, I even mentioned earlier about HR professionals of search in Linked In¢â‚¬¦ so suppose you have to think about those sort of people and I know some people that you¢â‚¬â„¢ve worked with. They are looking at you now. And, you put some things on, you have to become just that, you always say its got to be right, doesn¢â‚¬â„¢t it? [laughing]

Delia Macnamara: It¢â‚¬â„¢s stopping the fate, the fate CVs and ¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: Since everybody so addresses them self with the very first CV, but for the LinkedIn it has to be very honest, isn¢â‚¬â„¢t it?

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, but I think that if you always also getting the references from colleagues and previous bosses any way, then that works. You know they can always sort that list and they can verify and say yes you are wonderful. So, that¢â‚¬â„¢s always, I think that¢â‚¬â„¢s always a good thing. But there are also privacy controls. I think that¢â‚¬â„¢s one of thing that people don¢â‚¬â„¢t tend, they tend to have a look, unless they constantly have a look at their privacy inner settings and go through¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: You just hate looking on into you.

Delia Macnamara: Yes, absolutely I think you should keep on looking at them and have them a look at what showing to the public face, what showing to your friends or your followers. That¢â‚¬â„¢s why they call it LinkedIn anyway.

Jessie Clark: I know that on LinkedIn, you can do the thing, you can see who has been looking at your profile and then if people have hidden or used their proxy settings then it can just say, what their function is in, what and which area they¢â‚¬â„¢re in. And, I think everybody certainly¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: You can actually turn it completely off so that no one cant even know they are viewing someone¢â‚¬â„¢s profile that doesn¢â‚¬â„¢t even show up to them. So, you can have that as a privacy setting.

Jessie Clark: Because I know on Facebook, there was that big fear thing that went round and tend not to be a virus about you know, see who looking at your profile to interfere over the day or something. Is that right?

Delia Macnamara: I don¢â‚¬â„¢t know that with Facebook so much. I mean, my main focus is, you know, it is really when I look at thing, looking at the social media is I¢â‚¬â„¢ll actually look at the over routing, you know the whole social media tool as a tool box, as a communication tool because then it sounds to get split off almost in terms of, I then used social media form marketing. Are you going to start using it for engagement, does any of these community group that want to you know get more engagement from young people or, you know there is a fat club going on and they also like it that happening their other uses such as you know, social media for education, social media for government as well and so, in terms of what you¢â‚¬â„¢re talking about impacts so far taking everything and that is, I mean that sort of falls under, yes this basically is scare campaign but that doesn¢â‚¬â„¢t really happen so much. But you do need to check your privacy settings on Facebook as well because you can see friends make sure that it¢â‚¬â„¢s not friends of friends that can see your friends of friends or everyone, that can see your friends basically.

Jessie Clark: And, do you think, this whole social media networking thing is really, is it really that good? If you think about younger people, I mean there are a lot of younger people and the teenagers; it seems to be the only way that they are communicating with each other. You know they would literally wilder school talking to each other. Its just things that, why is that, do you think that¢â‚¬â„¢s a problem? I think that¢â‚¬â„¢s a really big problem. People do not, actually talking face to face.

Delia Macnamara: I think I agree with you on that. Young people do need to do, need to have those skills, like presentation skills and communication skills. Yes, that is something that is really, really important. It needs to be kept up. It needs to be implemented. But at the same time, I don¢â‚¬â„¢t think social media is the bad thing. I think it makes me managed and I think that¢â‚¬â„¢s what needs to gets across is that these communication skills, are another bag of communication skills where they are not just communicating one to one, like we do, like we are right now. But they are actually communicating on a much broader level. They are actually communicating one to many and many to one, you know, it¢â‚¬â„¢s that sort of, you know and they commit and these young people also tend to sort of like keep in contact with one another more. I mean I remember when I was travelling around, I mean my very delay is about traveling around time and in my 20s, you know, I used to send post card to every one, but then people couldn¢â‚¬â„¢t send any postcards back to me, because I was moving around so much. You don¢â‚¬â„¢t get that situation any more, you know. But one thing that I would say, that¢â‚¬â„¢s, that is on the increase is side bullying and that¢â‚¬â„¢s quite concerning as well. And that it needs, it does need to be polished and I do think that people need to understand that if any one is bullying and if there is any discomfort, they do need to block that person like usually block them and report them.

Jessie Clark: You said about managing it, whose job is it to manage it?

Delia Macnamara: As in? At the moments I think the schools I mean they have just started to implement the social media safety online campaigns and that¢â‚¬â„¢s really good because it is actually raising awareness for young people. But that¢â‚¬â„¢s not actually transferring across into a larger organizations and businesses, okay so therefore, businesses are not actually exploiting the benefits of what social media can bring because they are not actually communicating to their staffs, this is the appropriate way of using the social media, this is we don¢â‚¬â„¢t have to say something when you need to turn on for your privacy things. Can you say so, we are not, what I would say is we are not appeared to change at the moment especially with this technology.

Jessie Clark: I just completely forgot what I was supposed to say. And do you feel good about the LinkedIn? Would it be something that if as an employer, if you got a lots of employees, do you encourage your employees to join LinkedIn and represent your company or¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: I would, yeah, absolutely.

Jessie Clark: Because of that, I think, from what I have found so far it tends to be sort of head of the company, the Remington and the employees are using Facebook.

Delia Macnamara: No, in America, I mean enchanting in America is if you look at the very large companies, absolutely brilliant. What they¢â‚¬â„¢ve got these very large companies, they¢â‚¬â„¢ve got 10,000 in a pickle or mayonnaise is absolutely, you know fantastic. And, what they, that can actually now be brought into. I mean the LinkedIn sort of information can now actually be brought into office systems, okay. What I mean by an internet office system is that you know, lots of times in large organizations, they are trying to look for people with specific skills, and they don¢â‚¬â„¢t know where to find them and yet, with LinkedIn, you can just go to little typing a name or typing a skill that you are looking for and there is a connection. You know, someone who you might have known sitting next to you, or someone might have all the skills that you are looking for but you never knew that because you didn¢â‚¬â„¢t have the conversation. Yeah, it didn¢â‚¬â„¢t come up in conversation because you have been going off and getting a cup of tea and making toast and sang high and being chatty but not actually really finding out about what that skill set and the skill set.¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: So with LinkedIn, you can literally put in a¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: A skill set¢â‚¬¦.

Jessie Clark: So you actually do educate people about things and you run workshops don¢â‚¬â„¢t you?

Delia Macnamara: Yes, yes. I run, I basically run workshops you know for, SMEs and individuals and we are actually starting some workshops in June, starting I think from 13^th of June.

Jessie Clark: Where is that shop?

Delia Macnamara: At Birmingham and it¢â‚¬â„¢s for the organizations with more than 5 employees and less than 250 and it¢â‚¬â„¢s ground funded and it¢â‚¬â„¢s at [18:01] studios. And we are going to be covering sort of the practical use of you know how to use twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook and then after that we will be going into social media policy as in all the policy that needs to be put it place to make sure that you protect your brand as a company and also protect your staff and protect yourself.

Jessie Clark: Do you think many people are actually doing that in the moment, putting the policies in, you know¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: No, no. A lot of them are dabbling and this is one of the things that we are finding and that it¢â‚¬â„¢s, the really important thing is, is that when you are putting in your social media policy, you need to talk to your IT department, your policy makers, and your marketing team. And, historically, IT and marketing are talked to one another, they¢â‚¬â„¢ll always disagree. I think you know, what you need to do is, what are the issues that the IT guys have and what are the issues that the marketing people have and then that gets put together but then you will also got the expertise to claim, okay! want to get this message out. This is what we want to achieve, we want to show that we¢â‚¬â„¢ve got fantastic employees. We will put the top employees, little things like that, they all need to put into consideration and then mapped out and then implement it.

Jessie Clark: So, ideally, so people from optical company, attending your workshop, should they, the MD, the IT manager and marketing managers are always same.

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, or an HR person as well, because an HR people who ever wants, tend to, so far have a look and see what the digital footprint is of the individual, you know, of people and the marketing guys, I mean, they smell like a little team of social media monitoring people that just keep on eye on what people are saying about your company and your brand and that can fall right down to your staff members as well, not just your clients. So, it¢â‚¬â„¢s really important that it all gets, you know, it all gets, everyone is speaking from the same him shake because what¢â‚¬â„¢s actually happening is that the, you know, that the young people are actually being, not taught that so much but they are being taught their responsibilities of what they are allowed to do online and the language¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: ¢â‚¬¦in schools.

Delia Macnamara: At schools, yes, yes. So this is like the online safety and stuffs like that.

Jessie Clark: And, what about twitter then? Do your workshops include twitter?

Delia Macnamara: Yes. Well, businesses yes, absolutely. Twitter is one of the, I would say it¢â‚¬â„¢s a tool but you know, for a business lately, It¢â‚¬â„¢s almost like reading the news paper and it¢â‚¬â„¢s like current most up to date information and its there all the time. That¢â‚¬â„¢s a fantastic communication tool.

Jessie Clark: Do you not think there is a lot of trust on twitter? There are some other stages and things that still people talk about weather and things isn¢â‚¬â„¢t it?

Delia Macnamara: Yes, but you don¢â‚¬â„¢t have to follow them. And, that¢â‚¬â„¢s one of the most important things about twitter is that you can see comments of people that you are following. So, if you are no liking trust, then you un follow them. Then you have it¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: And, what would you say are the main benefits of twitter to a business, what¢â‚¬â„¢s the, because this is, there will be lots of businesses that¢â‚¬â„¢ll just think that twitter is not for them, I suppose. I mean, have you got any statistics or any information, you know who is on there and what are they getting from it, what are the benefits?

Delia Macnamara: Okay, let¢â‚¬â„¢s take a large company for example, like Karoo broadband. Now, Karoo broadband basically use and they say when there¢â‚¬â„¢s new offers on or whatever, the other thing as well is that if someone complains about Karoo broadband, they will com in instantly and message to you and say you know, you can give us a call, this is the number in it, call and we¢â‚¬â„¢ll check it out for you. What was really interesting example was we are having a problem with our broadband at home and my husband was not ringing up and over three days, just couldn¢â‚¬â„¢t get through. Whereas I tested a message on twitter immediately got and, a message, and we started chatting and they checked our phone line. They said okay this is what package you are on and you have all sort of [22:28] you know, like three days. That¢â‚¬â„¢s how instant it is.

Jessie Clark: Yes, because I got a problem getting through transcalls through its crew so¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: On the telephone, exactly but with twitter, they are so, it¢â‚¬â„¢s a lot faster response, much faster response. You know, on a small scale, I think there is Glenholme Florist here in Beverley. They are on twitter and they are using it incredibly successfully. You know, they have got some, may be 5 or 6 hundred followers, and they just put out, you know, it¢â‚¬â„¢s mother¢â‚¬â„¢s day, they sort up flowers, this is what¢â‚¬â„¢s going on and get the offers and they get more phone calls, they get orders.

Jessie Clark: And this is a full time doctor on the date to actually sit and use twitter.

Delia Macnamara: No, it isn¢â‚¬â„¢t. It depends. Okay, if you text a lot, if you think about transferring you text into a twitter message, then, no, you¢â‚¬â„¢re not even going to make the difference and twitter can integrate into your LinkedIn and your Facebook as well. So, that means that once you, and onto your blog if you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got or onto your website. So that means, once you tweak something, it can go to many, many different places, and many, many different audiences can see what you are talking about or looking at.

.

Jessie Clark: So, this twitter, and that¢â‚¬â„¢s where you can just, is that what you mean?

Delia Macnamara: No, no, I¢â‚¬â„¢m talking about, these are things like were twitter can be integrated into a program it¢â‚¬â„¢s not like if you go to Facebook, you can actually go on and get an application and you can actually make sense of getting status updates, like typing up your status updates every time you tweak, it will actually appear as a status updates.

That¢â‚¬â„¢s annoying, to attend my off because I tweak too much and I think I would have, you know, annoyed later, later, later and later decided to disengage with that. The same with LinkedIn, you can have it, so it¢â‚¬â„¢s linked to your LinkedIn so that everyone can see your tweaks on LinkedIn but then again I think, you know, not everyone needs to see that. It¢â‚¬â„¢s a bit messy.

Jessie Clark: And that¢â‚¬â„¢s just a tweak, not so long ago [24:40] Beverly food festival? Did you go to that..

Delia Macnamara: Right, okay. So I¢â‚¬â„¢ve basically been doing this social media marketing campaign and training up there a lot. What¢â‚¬â„¢s very, very interesting is, when you are doing such, especially on a no or low budget, is that you can get some fantastic results and but everyone has to be doing the same thing, so, and everyone has to understand what the actual strategy is. So, basically, you know, did the strategy and made sure that all platforms are up and running and integrated and delivered at training. And, over a weekend, the actual Facebook page, went from, I think it was 46 to 211. That¢â‚¬â„¢s quite good, now we¢â‚¬â„¢ve got the next stages where we need to you know in order so that putting them on a promotional material. You see the thing is, it¢â‚¬â„¢s not just that, you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got to integrate social media, especially in the UK, you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got to integrate at all the marketing, you pack materials and if you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got a radio campaign or if you¢â‚¬â„¢ve got all these other sort of things like television and print, you know, you need to have your social media perniciousness there so that people can actually find you.

Jessie Clark: I think, for Beverly focused on, I mean I have flipped in Beverly on and off. I was born here, I lived here, I lived here one half of the life and last year was the best time I ever went to Beverly food festival.

Delia Macnamara: Did you enjoy it?

Jessie Clark: I did. I didn¢â‚¬â„¢t go to the right bit sort of thing but I did really enjoyed it and, I don¢â‚¬â„¢t know it¢â‚¬â„¢s in the right place, definitely, they have got 3 venues to share Beverly Venues¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: I don¢â‚¬â„¢t know, I have to go to the, you have to go to the website ¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: www.beverleyfestival.com

Delia Macnamara: That¢â‚¬â„¢s having all the information out there. But one of the fantastic things of that which, one of the things of that Beverly food festival is that all the [26:37] playing, okay? And the other thing is quite the few of their acts are playing Glastonbury, non of this is actually I think a headline in act or something like this, she won some sort of competition, and I will just think ¢â‚¬Å“Ah..so..why its going to be lot [26:52] turn tonight¢â‚¬ you know Glastonbury night and power¢â‚¬¦ stay for the weekend and come to the festival.

Jessie Clark: They don¢â‚¬â„¢t get enough people out there.

Delia Macnamara: But I mean we are hoping to have a band there too which is connected to the internet. I¢â‚¬â„¢m praying that it is going to work .But we are hoping to have lot of band there so that people can, we¢â‚¬â„¢ll do short little twitter and twitter and Facebook workshops that people can tweak, take photos and put them onto the internet and tweet about it.

Jessie Clark: We¢â‚¬â„¢ll do it together Humber TV ¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: Yeah, that will be good. Yeah Yeah. So, that¢â‚¬â„¢ll be great. So, I mean that¢â‚¬â„¢s one of the things that will also look like working on at the moment but that would be a pretty full on weekends.

Jessie Clark: Who is we then?

Delia Macnamara: Well, basically there¢â‚¬â„¢s going to be 3, 4 of us doing this and we also having a rolling camera as well. So we are taking images. But, basically there are going to be photos and things like that. What we want to be able to do is just that compiling, creating great big, I don¢â‚¬â„¢t know, like a social depository of materials like videos and people being. Having fun and all sorts of stuffs and videos, yeah I like videos and pictures and sound bites, something like that. All ready for next year.

Jessie Clark: All ready for next year?

Delia Macnamara: I mean it is growing. This is the 27^th here of the Beverly Food Festival¢â‚¬¦

Jessie Clark: I think, I mean it¢â‚¬â„¢s the first time I¢â‚¬â„¢ve ever been and it was last year and really, of I ever saw there, and a lot of people that I know from Beverly where the most of them is in the town center and they do not visit really. I don¢â‚¬â„¢t think the event, the actual music event something was probably when¢â‚¬¦

Delia Macnamara: Right publicizing, yes. Well, that¢â‚¬â„¢s what we are trying to change you know, and that¢â‚¬â„¢s all what we are trying to do. If you want to go to the Facebook page, Beverly Food Festival, and join up and then you¢â‚¬â„¢ll find out, because there is loads and loads of pre-festival things as well going on, what¢â‚¬â„¢s going to be [29:13] as well. It¢â‚¬â„¢s going to be good. And hope for that there will be good weather.

Jessie Clark: Yeah, I hope for that.

Delia Macnamara: It might be cold, it¢â‚¬â„¢ll be good. [laughing]

Jessie Clark: Right, okay, I wish to look forward in seeing you there Delia. Thank you so much for coming in Humber TV. Thank you so much for watching and that¢â‚¬â„¢s bye from me.
