Outdoor, Press, Digital Display and Social Campaign for the Guinness Storehouse.Agency: In the Company of Huskies VIEW OUTDOOR VIEW THE PRINT AD Monaghan's Cashmere: Unforgettable Just off of Grafton Street on South Anne Street, Dublin's iconic shopping district, you will find Monaghan's Cashmere. Established 61 years ago by the now 96-year-old Tom Monaghan, the luxury knitwear and Cashmere specialist is one of Irelandâs longest-serving retailers, with three generations of family having worked there. In its lifetime, the business has weathered three recessions and most recently, the Covid-19 crisis, which forced the store to close its doors for the very first time. Usually serving customers visiting Dublin from around the world, lockdowns and travel restrictions meant the long-standing establishment has faced unprecedented challenges through the past year and a half. Now, the retailer is launching it's first-ever Christmas campaign, produced by Banjoman Films, as it works to bounce back from this extremely tough period. Creatively devised and directed by Dermot Malone, the film moves away from the standard festive formula with a touching story inspired by Tom Monaghan himself. The film, which stars legendary Irish theatre actor Barry McGovern (Braveheart, The Tudors, Game of Thrones), follows an elderly man experiencing his first Christmas since his wife passed away. Living on a farm with just his beloved horse for company, he frequently has flashbacks to his late wife at various stages in their life. When his family arrives for Christmas, he struggles to share in their festive spirit, especially when his young granddaughter breaks a picture frame holding a photo of his wife, himself, and their horse. Unbeknownst to her Grandfather, however, the Granddaughter takes notice of the red cable jumper he was wearing in the picture, and when mischievously rifling through his belongings, finds it. Struggling with the emotions and past memories of his wife on Christmas Day, the protagonist goes to visit his horse in the stable - only to discover his granddaughter has left him a special gift in the horse box. Celebrated for their impactful, storyful Christmas films, Banjoman recently picked up Production Company of the Year at Kinsale Ireland - including three Gold and one Silver Shark for RTÃ's 2020 ad for the Late Late Toy Show, 'Let's Make Christmas'. This win was in fact a catalyst for the project with Monaghanâs Cashmere. Director Dermot Malone wanted to find an Irish brand that had been hit hard by the lack of tourism and footfall in Dublin as a result of Coronavirus. Having been a big fan of Monaghan's Cashmere throughout his life, Dermot approached Suzanne about creating the spot in a bid to drive more footfall this Christmas.VIEW THE SPOT  Bord Gais Energy has launched an emotive TV campaign for the festive season. The campaign entitled 'On Call' aims to capture the real spirit of Christmas and takes inspiration from Bord Gais Energy's Service Engineers, everyday people who sign up to work on Christmas Day, even if it means having to spend the day away from family. The new TV campaign showcases the level of care and commitment they bring to their jobs, 365 days a year. Christmas Day is a day when nobody should have to worry about their home and the creative campaign depicts a Bord Gais Energy Service Engineer going the extra mile to ensure customers can enjoy the day. Bord Gais Energy Service Engineer teams are on call throughout the festive season to make sure nothing gets in the way of Christmas and family. It is this sacrifice that is captured beautifully in this campaign. The creative, developed by Team Nucleus, sees another project delivered by best-in-class agency talent.

VIEW THE SPOT Marie Keating Foundation: The News As part of their 'Big Check Up' campaign for Lung Cancer Awareness Month taking place throughout November, the Marie Keating Foundation has premiered a short-film, 'The News' during an event at the Stella Theatre, Dublin. The campaign aims to share that the good news about lung cancer, is that there is good news. Studies have shown that those most at risk are least likely to get checked, often because they fear 'bad news'. But early diagnosis and new treatments are improving survival and this campaign is highlighting this and encouraging action to ultimately save more lives through early diagnosis. Agency: The Brill Building, Dublin VIEW THE SPOT  IOM's global counter-trafficking activities are geared toward the prevention of human trafficking, particularly of women and children, and the protection of victims/survivors, and migrant's rights. Part of the IOM mission is to empower the public to know the signs of human trafficking and what steps can be taken if a possible case is identified. The prevalence of human trafficking in Ireland is likely higher than official statistics report, and according to the US State Department's annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report, which ranks Ireland as a tier two watchlist state, experts are concerned about the number of victims formally identified and believe that it doesn't reflect the true scale. According to blueblindfold.ie, there were 318 victims of human trafficking identified in Ireland in the last five years, but the real figures are potentially even starker, with data showing human trafficking could be 38% higher than reported. The campaign was created and produced by TBWADUBLIN with IOM providing thematic expertise and oversight, and was shot by their in-house Director Matthieu Chardon in conjunction with Make, the production arm of TBWADublin.VIEW THE NATALIA SPOT VIEW THE JOSEPH SPOT  Following on from a successful pitch win over the summer, Boys+Girls, Ireland's largest independent creative agency, has created its first Christmas campaign for the leading online lifestyle retailer Littlewoods Ireland.
