Last weekend, family, friends and colleagues gathered at the Galway Rowing Club to celebrate a special birthday for our colleague Jimmy Burke ๐ŸŽ‰

It was a wonderful evening filled with great company, stories, and fantastic Trad Rock music performed by Jimmy's talented family and friends. There were also some thoughtful tributes to a man whose creativity has left its mark in many places - including framed photographs of an early Druid Theatre poster he designed and a memorable image of Jimmy on stage during one of his many acting performances.

Those of us who know Jimmy know his creativity extends far beyond the office. It was a privilege to celebrate such a milestone with him and the people who know him best.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy - here's to many more performances, projects and celebrations to come! ๐ŸŽ‚

Last week, members of the Proactive team attended , hosted by CREW at Dexcom Stadium in Galway.

It was an inspiring day of keynotes, panels and exhibitions that reinforced something we already know well - the creative industry across the West and North West is thriving.

One theme came through consistently: ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป. Whether in design, film, digital or strategy, the strongest work happens when different perspectives, disciplines and skillsets come together. The success of the Irish film industry in recent years is a great example of what can happen when collaboration is embraced at local, national and international level.

Creativity doesnโ€™t exist in a vacuum - and with so much talent across the region, thereโ€™s huge value in learning from and working alongside one another.

(And yesโ€ฆ speaking of collaboration, we happen to know a team that offers quite a few creative services ๐Ÿ˜‰)

With the European Accessibility Act in force, accessible digital touchpoints have shifted from a recommendation to a core business requirement. From website navigation to digital documents, prioritising inclusive design removes barriers, enhances usability, and future-proofs your digital presence against evolving standards.

At Proactive, our approach integrates accessibility into the foundational strategy of every project. We build digital experiences that communicate clearly across all devices, ensuring your brand remains functional for every user.

Ensure your business is ready. Learn more about the legislation here:

If youโ€™ve noticed a sudden surge in direct traffic from China or Singapore, youโ€™re not alone - itโ€™s a global GA4 trend. Hereโ€™s the breakdown:

๐Ÿ”นItโ€™s Not Human: These spikes are confirmed bots and AI scrapers scanning for vulnerabilities.
๐Ÿ”นThe "Direct" Disguise: These sophisticated scripts bypass standard filters to appear as "Direct" traffic, mimicking real users.
๐Ÿ”นThe Data Damage: This skews your KPIs - inflating user counts while tanking engagement rates, making your marketing and SEO harder to track.

Well done to all who crossed the line - a fantastic achievement in one of the most scenic (and challenging!) races out there.
