In the next instalment of our ongoing ICAD Promotes series, we talk to the very talented Naoise Ó Conchubhair, Director of Digital at Detail. This ongoing series looks beyond the work to see what makes a great creative tic.

President, Executive Board Member and Director, Rossi McAuley really has given ICAD his all. From the glory days of confetti cannons at The Storehouse, to those tough pandemic years we’d rather not talk about… You got ICAD through and made us what we are today. Creatives everywhere want to thank you for your graft, but most of all, for always bringing the heart. Go raibh míle maith agat, Rossi McAuley. Thanks for everything.

ICAD want to tip a suitably flamboyant hat to Ger Roe. Ger, thank you for years of service to ICAD, as both Executive Board Member and Director. You bring the colour, the stage presence, the fierce wit and relentless support… Thank you for flying the flag for us abroad and always pushing us to be better at home. Ireland’s creative industry owes you a Heineken. Go raibh míle maith agat, our friend. See you on a stage somewhere soon.

*Applications for Upstarts 2024 are open* Meet Jonathan, next up in our Past Upstarts Spotlight. Since completing Upstarts in 2023, Jonathan has spent the past year working as a designer for Together We Create. Bridging his passion for branding with his 3D skills, he's had the opportunity to develop CG work for @In/Out Clothing, JJCorry Irish Whiskey, and the upcoming 2024 ICAD Awards campaign. Upstarts was instrumental in helping Jonathan make the switch from industrial design to the world of graphic design!
