James Doorley – innovative campaign website

We were excited when asked to create the campaign website for James Doorley, supporting his election for Seanad Éireann, the upper house of the Irish parliament. James was Chairman of the Consumers’ Association of Ireland from 2007–11, amongst many other professional memberships.

A crucial element of the campaign, we tied in social media and blogging right from the start. Our Web 3.0 publishing platform Flowli was ideal for this task, allowing James to generate and maintain his content while creating semantic associations between articles and images where relevant.

To visualise the level of support, we created a Support Map for James, allowing voters to send a short message and link it to their location. It was exciting to see that within only a few days, the map was becoming more and more populated, with many kind support messages for James.
