GetThemIn News Blog

GetThemIn is the brainchild of Jay Feeney. An entrepreneur by nature, Jay founded his first company at sixteen and has not stopped since. During his university years, Jay ran a number of ventures from lucrative promotional music events, to managing the University student radio station. Jay then founded Freak Music, a company that has now become a leading promotional enterprise, dealing with the brand, product and event management for Scotland’s busiest bars and clubs, music events and breweries. His creative passion has led to the founding of Dynamic Blue, a project-based IT collective; “Those Media Guys”, a video and new-media production company; and the start-up of thesnitcherdesk.com, a public paparazzi picture agency that recently scooped the first citizen- journalism worldwide exclusive. Jay’s talent is in spotting opportunities to creatively connect the public with gaps in the marketplace. Well networked, Jay’s entrepreneurship has not gone unnoticed. He has been previously voted into The Scotland on Sunday’s top 20 most eligible bachelors and made it into the Scotland’s top 100 creative hit list.
