Ideal Founder and CEO, Moto Shakoori, became a regular user of LinkedIn in 2024, which has enabled him to review the year based on data from his posts. Here are Mo’s top five subject areas of 2024:
Co-op Live, on Practical Completion, back in April. Co-op Live was super newsworthy at the time, so perhaps it’s no surprise that my post about reaching PC on time was number one in terms of impressions. Winning the Cisco Smart Buildings / Venues Partner of the Year Award for our Co-op Live CNS network in October also came in at number three for impressions and number one for reactions, comments and reposts. Picking up the Award in LA was a definite highlight for me.
The summary of our 150 Holborn, Smart Building Workshop in June was number two in terms of impressions. I really enjoyed those sessions, where Ideal as the CNS design, installation and support specialist shared a platform with building owner and tenant Sidara and BMS giant Schneider to discuss what goes into a creating a successful smart building.
The first of my ’15 Years, 15 Lessons’ posts is right up there. This was an honest reflection on the 15 years since I founded Ideal and my not-so-conventional journey to where we are today, which is our most successful year ever. The first three posts in the 15-post series got a really high following before impressions for the series fell away, perhaps suggesting that there’s a limit to how much people want to hear from me!
Our case study on Twickenham Stadium squeezes into the top five. This coincided with the announcement of the controversial name change to the ‘Allianz Stadium’ in August, proving that topicality seems to win out.
Celebrating 10 years of supporting codebar, the charity that runs free programming workshops for minority groups in tech, comes in really high, showing the professional community spirit we all share is alive and well.
Here’s looking forward to another eventful year in 2025.
