Corporate Social Responsibility is a core part of our business. We strive to behave responsibly, ethically and sustainably in all areas of our business, we live by those values. We want to make a difference and since our inception we have donated over €40,000 in pro bono projects and services to charities and helped to raise over €14,000 in a separate project for Heather Heffernan’s Corinthian Challenge for the Irish Injured Jockeys. Our founder, Aisling Hurley, has been giving back since she was a teenager when she was voted as national council representative of the Irish youth farming organisation Macra na Feirme. She then represented that organisation on the National Youth Council of Ireland where she also sat on the steering committee for the progression of change for the children’s allowance for poorer families. During this time she was involved in the formation of a green paper for submission to the government. Since our foundation our CSR programme has been dedicated to helping and supporting those that can’t support themselves, with a strong focus on female entrepreneurs, under represented minorities, registered non profit organisations, schools and startups that need a helping hand.

We have an ethical labour practice which treats our team members fairly and ethically. It’s about the quality of your work. These programmes aim to strengthen the skillset within our company, and create a culture that makes a difference to our clients experience and maximises the outcome of their investment in us.
Taking Local Retail Global
Through our work with Local Enterprise Boards on programmes such as the Digital Trading Voucher, and through our mentoring support programme, over one hundred retailers are learning from The Business Fairy Digital Marketing Agency how to reach entirely new markets and attract customers from virtually anywhere in the world: 24/7. These programmes aim to strengthen local economies, create jobs, and contribute to the vibrancy of these communities.
Raising awareness and Empowering Charities
Through our team’s hands-on work (and the provision of services and training) with our chosen charities, such as the International Tipperary Peace Award, Tipperary Rape Crisis Centre, The Cuisle Centre, U.K. Women’s Hour, Knockanrawley Resource Centre, Circle of Friends, Cancer Support Centre to name a few., over 11 charities have been empowered to utilise digital technologies for automation and marketing. We have designed and initiated several marketing campaigns on their behalf, teaching team members as we go. The most recent campaign is the “Light for Sixteen” campaign for the Rape Crisis Centre. These programmes aim to strengthen the skillset within the charity, raise brand awareness, and contribute to the financial well being of these organisations.
Empowering and Educating Startups
We understand that startups are strapped for cash. We were one once – so every year we try to help out a couple of startups through the provision of services and/or training and knowledge sharing. Through our CSR programme, over 10 startups have been empowered to utilise digital technologies for bringing their product to market, raising brand awareness and becoming investor ready. We have advised, designed and initiated marketing research and campaigns on their behalf, teaching team members as we go. These startups are focused on building products for the betterment of humanity, such as the school girls, from No Limits, who developed a superhero range of books where the main hero has a disability. We have advised them, made introductions and recommendations and even put them on the TV. These programmes aim to strengthen the skillset within the startup, devise brand awareness campaigns which eventually contribute to the financial well being of these startups.
