Influencing Change through Digital Channels: with Drinkaware
" When we talk, we talk in facts. People don't like being dictated to. They like having the facts. "
- Sheena Horgan, CEO Drinkaware

Drinkaware is an organization with an audacious mission - to have an Ireland where alcohol is not misused.

Sheena Horgan is its CEO, and a marketer with over 20 years of experience. She came in to DMI recently for a fascinating discussion on how the organization is leveraging different digital channels for just that purpose. Measurement is key and they live off data and facts. 

She discusses behavioral change and social marketing - where the aim is not to market a product but a behavior. Drinkaware has seen a huge increase in engagement with the public over the last few years and much of that is down to digital strategy.
