Tech Hub Ireland: Onboarding customers and driving engagement for business success

Learn practical engagement strategies to keep customers connected and invested in your brand.

I’m Tara Elzingre, an independent consultant who’s passionate about helping business owners take control of their digital strategies without the overwhelm. I know firsthand as founder of Parene and Tara Elzingre Consultancy, how confusing and exhausting it can be to run a business online, where new tools and strategies are constantly popping up. My goal is to cut through that noise and help entrepreneurs like you find smart, sustainable ways to engage your audience, boost your productivity, and ultimately grow your revenue.
Most business owners face two big obstacles in the digital world: time and tech. Time gets eaten up trying to juggle marketing, engagement, and all the operational tasks that keep things running. Then, there’s the tech side—learning new tools, figuring out automation, and managing online platforms, all of which can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s not your area of expertise.I know that for many, these issues lead to frustration and even burnout. You start with enthusiasm, but constant pivots and endless tech choices can drain your energy fast. And with the pressure to constantly stay “visible” online, it’s easy to feel like you’re never doing enough.
<h3></h3>
I’m here to make your digital strategy feel achievable, aligned, and tailored specifically to your business. My approach starts with understanding where you’re at and what matters most to you. I then introduce you to digital tools and strategies that simplify your workload, boost engagement, and save you time, all while enhancing your confidence with tech.
A key part of this process is learning to work with technology in a way that feels intuitive and empowering, not frustrating. Through 1:1 coaching and hands-on guidance, I make sure you’re equipped with practical skills and strategies, so you can start using digital tools to your advantage right away.

My clients typically experience:
<ul>
<li>More time for the parts of their business they truly enjoy, thanks to efficient digital solutions.</li>
<li>Increased confidence with using new tools and automations, allowing them to work smarter, not harder.</li>
<li>Better engagement with their audience, from more streamlined social media practices to clearer messaging.</li>
<li>Revenue growth from strategic, simplified digital practices that actually convert without adding extra hours to the day.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to Work with Me</h3>
If you’re ready to streamline your digital approach and get the right tools and mindset to succeed online, let’s chat. I offer tailored 1:1 sessions designed to meet you where you are and address your specific challenges. Together, we’ll build a plan that helps you work with intention and ease, so you can focus on what you do best—growing your business.

Serial entrepreneur and innovation director across multiple verticals, with a technology and sector agnostic approach to consulting. Currently consulting to various ventures ie Medtech, CPG, FMCG, Fintech, Adtech, HeathTech etc

Having been deeply immersed in the Startup / SME EcoSystem for approximately 25 years, in 2 distinct sectors and countries with various business models. Providing both product / services for b2b and b2b segments has allowed me to gain a solid amount of diverse knowledge and understanding.
This entrepreneurial experience also allowed to gain insights of the innovation value chain and operational requirements of building / scaling ventures, for product market fit. The critical component of fundraising through various mechanisms, is an area that I understand well, having bootstrapped businesses and then raised circa 3m Euros across angel, Venture Capital and the European Development Fund (EDF).
The full spectrum of the fund-raising process was arguably the most challenging aspect of venture building for a multitude of reasons and it was a definite grind to get it done. Learning to dealing with brutal reality was a crucial part of success and helped test / fortify my resilience and growth mindset.
The last venture Zveetz had a regenerative aspect with a mission to make a dent against sugar pollution and its consequences to people and planet. Working cross functionally with a stellar team of individuals including food and behavioural scientists to deliver an impactful value proposition was highly rewarding. The business model was multifaceted with transactional, subscription and asymmetrical revenue streams. We were able to move the needle on sugar reduction and enabled people to be more sugar smart, thereby hitting multiple impact and revenue KPI’s.
Previously to that, I had the privilege of deep diving into the world of AI, machine learning &amp; ontologies to build a recommendation engine SaaS for the e-commerce sector, although there were multiple future use cases for the technology. This immersion and venture was very challenging for multiple reasons but ultimately the outcomes were net positive, so the juice was worth the squeeze.
hankfully, I have been able to transition into the role of an Innovation Director and apply skills / experience to provide consultation across the Oxford Innovation ecosystem to various stakeholders.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Performed 96 one to one business support sessions and workshops for students, faculty, startup and SMEs teams.</li>
<li>Consulting with the KTP (Knowledge Transfer Partnerships) department to revamping program offering and positioning to meet desired Research Excellence Framework (REF 29) standards.</li>
<li>Supporting faculty members across the UnIversity’s different schools, on commercialisation of their research and various potential fund-raising strategies.</li>
<li>Working with the AI Research group within the University to develop their strategic roadmap.</li>
<li>Supporting the establishment of “Managementfest”, a student led innovation &amp; entrepreneurship conference and accelerator programme at BNU.</li>
<li>Regularly meeting with the university leadership committee to report all innovation initiatives and results.</li>
<li>Leading Oxford Innovation AI working group with a remit to i) develop a wholistic adoption strategy for competitive advantage. ii) Steering AI integration and operationalisation across the org, towards ISO42001 (trustworthy) compliance.</li>
</ul>
