“It’s not just about 2 weeks, it’s the culmination of a 4 year cycle” This morning, the Who Won Sponsorship 2024 event took place at the Aviva Stadium, hosted by Onside and the Marketing Institute Ireland. An impressive panel of speakers revisited the year’s major highlights, including our Paris 2024 Chef de Mission, Gavin Noble, alongside Philip Greene of PTSB and Paula Fahy of RTÉ. They emphasised the importance of sharing the stories behind the athletes. We were thrilled to see our title sponsor, PTSB take home not one but two awards – ‘Who Won Sponsorship 2024’ and the Olympic category. A big congratulations also to our partners, Allianz Ireland, for their well-deserved recognition 🥈 in the ‘Who Won Sponsorship 2024’ 👏 It was great to have Olympic Champion, Rhys McClenaghan on stage 🥇 🗣️ "We've set the new standard for greatness" 👏 #TeamIreland
