One Night in… Raglan Road Irish Pub
Sunday night while in Orlando at the NAA Marketing conference…
Back to downtown Disney. I’m sensing this is a trend. Last night Bongo’s for Cuban. Tonight we want seafood. When near the coast, do the seafood. Probably a fresher option than in Oklahoma.
Of course we go Irish. We’re advised Raglan Road Irish Pub has tasty fish. Turns out the salmon, about $20, is really good. Came with mashed potatoes. They had some really dry wheat bread that came with dinner. It was served with what they called Guinness sauce. Tasted like honey. No, not in a “man this beer is good” way, but I think it really was honey.
We were seated right next to the stage where Paul Duffy (no relation to Patrick Duffy of Dallas fame) was the one man band. Good entertainer, talented musician, but he has a Web site from the 1990′s.
Newspaper Association of America conference
Opening session of the NAA conference was held Sunday afternoon. It’s a packed house. Amazing how many people attended the opening ceremonies. I stood by the wall, check out the pics below.
Of course, the newspaper industry is facing circulation and revenue issues. So are the other media types, from network TV to local TV, even radio. It’s cyclical and companies have to adjust – to the overall economy and their specific marketplace. The newspaper industry must do the same. And that means diversifying what a newspaper does. In The Oklahoman’s case, diversify means an array of products, from special sections to niche publications, from blogs to wireless and from online to video.
The main message of the opening session focused on Brand Experience. It’s everything a company does. Experimentation is the key.
