Skoda - Placenames
I remember hearing this come on the radio and it just jumped out. Really simple and really true to anyone who’s ever jumped in a car and looked at the weird road signs all over Ireland. Shout out to people of Lower Balix which didn’t quite make the list.
Really simple and really true.

Hunky Dorys - Christie the Content Creator
This is one of our own. Irish Comedian Darren Conway played the role of “Christie the Crinkler” in our Hunky Dorys’ broadcast TV, but we knew Christie was born for TikTok. So we armed him with the latest trends on the platform and let him loose. Simple, stupid, irreverent, effective, crinkly.

Heineken - Pub Museums
The Irish pub is an endangered species, with pubs around the country shutting down on a daily basis. Some of these pubs are literally hundreds of years old. So turning these historical pubs into living breathing museums in order to safeguard their future is a beautiful idea.

Guinness - Don’t Jinx It
Despite going into the Rugby World Cup as World No. 1 team, the Irish know all too well, that when it comes to the World Cup, rankings mean very little. This spot plays on that truth in a lovely way.

Gas Networks Ireland - Dial Before You Dig
Love this very good-stupid spot for Gas Networks Ireland. It just takes something that could be really dull and uninteresting and gives it a load of charm by simply adding an neurotically anxious badger.
