Chemistry: Special 140 second ad during Mad Men on RTE1

To mark the final episode of the Chemistry-sponsored Mad Men series 3 on RTE1, we took over an entire advertising break during the programme. It’s the first time (as far as we know) that an advertising agency has taken over a whole ad break on its own behalf and it’s also the longest ever TV ad.

If you like this ad, check out our Mad Men sponsorship stings below.

Chemistry: “Mad Men Stings” (footage supplied by Getty)

“This series of bumpers bracketing the broadcasts of “Mad Men” in the Irish Republic do something that’s very unusual in advertising…they advertise an advertising agency. But it’s an excellent idea…all the more so because it’s been pulled off with such aplomb”. From davidreviews.com

Trocaire’s new Lenten campaign against hunger

With 5 million deaths from hunger every year, trying to solve the problem may seem an insurmountable task – so how does an organisation like Trócaire garner support for its efforts?

By bringing it down to the level of the individual, in the case of our new ad for Lent 2010, the level of one little girl and her mother.

How Chemistry brought Mr Tayto to Life

Although there was much nostalgia and latent affection amongst consumers, this Irish brand and its distinctive on-pack icon, “Mr Tayto”, were felt to lack the contemporary relevance of international brands like Walkers and Pringles. We decided to reverse the situation, by running “Mr Tayto” as a candidate in the 2007 General Election. In a highly successful multi-media campaign, which included a massive poster campaign, a party political broadcast, a campaign song, an online campaign and a tour bus visiting every radio station and newspaper in the country, Mr Tayto made his bid for the hearts and minds of the Irish people with a series of policies such as peace and reconciliation: “It’s time the Northside and the Southside learned to live together.” Despite the fact that Mr Tayto did not in fact get elected to government, the publicity catapulted him back into public consciousness. Mr Tayto was Ireland’s most Googled term in June 2007.

Ribena: “Made by Mums”

This new TV commercial is the first piece of work to reflect the new positioning for Ribena, which celebrates its emotional heartland within the family.

“This charming commercial from the Irish Republic points out that it’s Mums who make Ribena. Skilfully filmed to make the most of a simple proposition, it’s a lovely piece of old-fashioned advertising of the kind that seems to be making a bit of a comeback.” From davidreviews.com
