    Creatives Series: Nick Kelly Part 01
    Jul 2 2026
    In the first of our Creative Series, Daryl sits down with acclaimed Irish creative Nick Kelly — filmmaker, musician and award-winning copywriter — to explore his career.

    We dig into his philosophy on creativity — why the best ideas are accidents you don't understand until years later, why fear kills ideas faster than anything else, and why immunity to rejection is one of his super powers.

    And Nick talks about some of his adland campaign highlights working for brands like Guinness and Irish Ferries

    42 - Roy Keane, High Expectations, and Sky's Bold Bet
    Jun 25 2026
    In this episode of the Irish Marketing Podcast, Daryl sits down with Caroline Donnellan, Director of Marketing and Brand at Sky Ireland, and Shane Doyle, Head of Strategy Brand and Creative at Core, to pull back the curtain on one of Ireland's most talked-about advertising campaigns.

    They reveal how Sky's entry into the crowded Irish mobile market led to the 'Expect More' platform, why Roy Keane was the only person who could bring that idea to life, and why the strategy came long before the celebrity. This is how to use borrowed fame in the right way — not just for recognition, but for relevance.

  • 41 - Emma Kelly on Elevate Turning 25

    41 - Emma Kelly on Elevate Turning 25
    Jun 19 2026
    What does it take to build a PR agency that lasts 25 years? Emma Kelly, founder of Elevate PR, joins Daryl to answer exactly that.

    Starting out in 2001 with clients like PlayStation and Reebok, Emma has navigated every major shift in the communications landscape — from the internet era to 4G, the influencer gold rush, and the rise of TikTok — while keeping her agency deliberately small, sharp, and client-focused.

    In this conversation, Emma gets candid about the talent erosion she's seeing in marketing teams today, why she hires for attitude over credentials, and why being physically in the office together is still non-negotiable for building great people. She also reflects honestly on what it means to be a woman in her mid-fifties running an agency in an industry that hasn't always valued experience

    40 - Ringers Creative: Solving Proper Problems
    Jun 11 2026
    What does it take to build a creative agency around genuinely hard problems? This week on The Irish Marketing Podcast, Daryl sits down with Miriam Hendrick and Bobby Burns, the principals behind Ringers Creative, for a wide-ranging conversation about agency life, culture, and what it really means to do good work.

    They dig into the concept of the 'proper problem' — why the brief on the page is rarely the real brief — and how that philosophy shapes everything from pitching to hiring. Miriam and Bobby also open up about their recent competitive pitch win with Donegal Catch, a brand so embedded in Irish culture that even naming it conjures its most famous line. The challenge now? Building the next chapter.

    There's also an honest conversation about ego, culture, and why their no-dickheads policy starts at the hiring stage. Plus, Bobby's 14-year side hustle in lawn mowing makes a surprise appearance.

    39 - How To Become A Market Of One & Tackling Traffic Decline
    Jun 4 2026
    Is your agency feeling the squeeze? Is your website traffic quietly disappearing? You are not imagining it — and you are definitely not alone. In this episode of the Irish Marketing Podcast, we tackle two of the most pressing challenges facing marketers and agency leaders right now. First, Robin Bonn of Co-Definery joins us ahead of his IAPI presentation on June 10th, to share a frank, no-excuses assessment of why so many agencies are struggling — and what the world's most progressive agencies are doing differently to stay irreplaceable.

    Then, Brendan Almack and Lisa Woods from Wolfgang Digital break down the dramatic decline in organic search traffic driven by the rise of AI search and Google's AI Overviews, explaining why the traditional click-through model is broken and what brands can do to respond

    38 - Markgo - Big Marketing for Small Businesses
    May 28 2026
    What happens when experienced advertising executives get tired of watching small businesses throw money at marketing that simply doesn't work?

    They build something new.

    In this episode, Daryl sits down with the founders of Markgo — a fresh venture brought to life by the team at Hyphen Strategy and seasoned media industry veteran Peter McPartlin.

    They spoke about how years of working with SMEs revealed a painful truth: most small and mid-sized businesses are trapped in a cycle of 'random acts of marketing' — busy on social media, hiring influencers, sponsoring events — but with no strategy, no clear objective, and no results to show for it.
