Irish Marketing Podcast

The Irish Audio Awards which took place in Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin last week. This is an unusual event which steps outside the norms of your average awards show.

The Audio Awards is not just about giving out gongs; it’s a fully fledged show and live event including podcast interviews, live music, panel discussions and of course the award themselves.
On todays pod, we give you a flavour of what the awards were like with some of the best bits
we’ve got an interview with judge and executive Creative director at Adam&Eve Mark Shanley
Anton interviewing Alex Jenkins, editorial director at Contagious
we’ll playback some of the winners and we’ve got an interview with the Board Creative Director of the agency talking about the Grand Prix

The standout winner of the Pitch Perfect 2026 competition, Saor Water, helps brands ditch plastic bottles in favour of customised, sustainable aluminium cans. Ryan explained how Low MOQ is Saor Water's killer competitive advantage.

We are currently in the midst of Seachtain na Gaeilge, the world's largest international festival dedicated to promoting the Irish language and culture which started on March 01.
On the same day, I was joined by Aoife Porter from Bua Marketing and Gerard O’Neill Chairman of Amárach Research to discuss the recent Súil Feasa report which addresses a key component of Irish language advertising ie how well it is comprehended.

In the pod we spoke about
how regulatory spend is driving growth
how Irish proficiency is low despite widespread exposure. 
how Irish language advertising generates active engagement. 
how "Transcreation" beats translation.
why English and Irish campaigns work better together

This week's podcast as follow up to a recent article by Danny Cullen Associate Creative Director at The Public House.

The piece had the slightly counterintuitive title Disappoint Your Clients. On todays podcast, Danny talks about the merits of selectively disappointing your clients particularly when it come to points of difference around creativity and where they do arise how those problems are best addressed and discussed earlier in the production process.

Danny also gave us some background on a couple of recent campaigns for Irish Defences Forces and 48 mobile.
