    I haven't seen or heard any of the ads so can't comment. But it is interesting that an Eircom League camopaign wins an award.

    Though whoever rund the award needs to buy themselves a Marketing text book, as radio etc ads aren't Direct marketing.

    I like 'em. The only fault is they saturate the breaks on Saturday sport programmes when by then most games for the week have already been played on the Friday night.

    Well spotted. Just reading again & with An Post sponsoring I would have expected mail shots & similar campaigns to be considered. They could be including the free texts but ‘Local Legends. Lifetime Supporters’ campaign was restricted to tv, radio & internet banner ads. Why would An Post sponsor marketing that promotes electronic mail...?

    Isn't it carried on all Eircom phone bill envelopes too? I'd imagine this qualifies. Good to see an award like this being won anyway. Raises the profile that little bit further.
