    40 - Ringers Creative: Solving Proper Problems

    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.

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 Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios, Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie

    38 - Markgo - Big Marketing for Small Businesses

    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.  Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios, Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie

She shares the secrets behind their success, how a simple question—"How can we help?"—unlocked incredible client opportunities during market uncertainty, and how they are pioneering new ways for brands to reach audiencesising and advertiser-funded programming are the new frontiers of TV media.

    35 - Paul Dervan: The Essential Guide to AI For Marketers

    What separates the marketers who will thrive in an AI world from those who won't? According to Paul Dervan, founder of Run with Foxes, it comes down to whether you're a fox or a hedgehog. Drawing on Philip Tetlock's Superforecasters research, Paul explains why the ability to draw on multiple perspectives, stay curious, and adapt your thinking is more valuable than ever — and why clinging to process-heavy skills is a liability. In this conversation, Paul shares how he went deep on AI during his time at Miro, what he discovered about the behaviours of people who use AI most effectively, and how he now helps marketing and sales teams redesign the way they work. He also walks through practical examples, including a custom research agent he built to automate information gathering, so he can spend less time on the work about the work and more time making good decisions.  Paul gave his take on the fundamental skillset that makes you valuable in an AI world  We spoke about Paul’s team of AI agents Clara, Jo and Nate, about creating systems for writing and ad generation, the benefits of sceptical optimism and how Paul’s second book is progressing. Worth a listen if you want to get practical about AI rather than just anxious about it.

    34 - Exclusive: Inside the New Bord Gáis Energy Campaign

    What does it take to cut through one of the most competitive sponsorship categories in Irish sport? On this week's Irish Marketing Podcast, we go behind the scenes of the brand new Bord Gáis Energy GAA campaign — before it even officially launches. Host Daryl sits down with director Ben Tonge and Bord Gáis Energy's Director of Marketing, Meadhbh Quinn to explore how this fresh, humour-driven campaign came to life. We hear why the team deliberately walked away from the emotional 'commitment to your county' playbook that dominates GAA advertising, and how they brought the Two Johnnies and Lee Chin together in a way that feels genuinely different. Ben opens up about his comedy roots — from directing the Ted Lasso trailer to running a brilliantly chaotic live cabaret night called Shamn Bodie, cooking hot dogs on stage while hosting five acts — and explains how those live performance instincts shape everything he does on set.

    33 - Mark Shanley And The Art of Unique Creative Direction

    What does it actually take to make advertising that people love rather than skip? In this episode, we sit down with one of the most decorated creative directors in the industry — Mark Shanley Executive Creative Director at adam&eve\​TBWA someone who grew up playing in ad agency art departments and went on to win countless industry accolades.  We dig into the unglamorous reality behind award-winning work: the grind of generating a hundred ideas to find one good one, the steep learning curve of stepping into creative leadership with no real training, and why giving your team explicit permission to fail might be the most powerful thing a creative director can do. We also go behind the scenes of the iconic Nothing Beats a Londoner Nike campaign — a 16-month production involving 250 real Londoners alongside some of the biggest names in sport and music — and explore what made it possible when so many ambitious projects collapse under their own weight.  Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios, Dublin If you’ve got a story you’d like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios, Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie
