PRESS PLAY
ThinkBusiness.ie is a business interview show powered by Bank of Ireland, with a strong focus on Irish companies, founders, and the practical choices behind growth. It is direct and useful. The conversations tend to begin with a specific business challenge, then work outward into strategy, customers, operations, and market opportunity. Recent episodes show that range clearly. Climeaction’s conversation turns farm-level carbon data into a business issue, linking climate reporting, supply-chain complexity, food brands, and trust. The Bank of Ireland rebrand episode moves through brand platform, identity, customer experience, and the timing behind a refresh. Clubspot’s story is more founder-led, tracing how a Cavan-born platform for sports clubs grew from operational pain into international expansion across Ireland, the UK, the US, and Australia. The show is especially interested in making complicated work legible. Product design is discussed through volunteers and club administration. Sustainability is framed through verifiable data rather than broad claims. AI is treated as a practical business capability for owners and founders who may not have technical specialists. Communication gets similar treatment, with Louise Keenan Clarke discussing how senior professionals and entrepreneurs improve outcomes by speaking clearly in high-stakes situations. The tone is measured, commercial, and encouraging without becoming breathless. Guests are usually asked to explain what changed, why it matters now, and how the work translates into advantage. That gives the show a steady rhythm: context first, then the operational detail, then the larger business lesson. It suits listeners who care less about abstract trend talk and more about how Irish businesses actually make decisions. Marketing and brand strategy are recurring threads, but the scope is broader than branding alone. The show repeatedly connects identity, technology, funding, sustainability, communication, and internationalisation to real company execution. ThinkBusiness.ie works best as a compact briefing on the people and pressures shaping modern Irish enterprise.
Made for: For Irish founders, business owners, marketers, managers, and professionals who want practical context on growth, technology, brand, sustainability, and communication. It also suits listeners tracking how Irish companies scale beyond local markets.
What sets it apart: The show combines sponsor-backed business access with grounded founder and operator conversations. It keeps big themes such as AI, rebranding, climate data, and international expansion tied to specific Irish companies and decisions.
