Good things come to those who wait. 9 months in the making, we are bursting with pride to have partnered with Diageo to develop a groundbreaking collab with IDA Sports: The "Never Settle" Boot! 🚀 #WomensSixNations #SportsInnovation #BrandPurpose   At Ogilvy, Wilson Hartnell we're passionate about crafting ideas that drive meaningful change. We are also big believers in sport for all. That's why we're incredibly proud to have partnered with Guinness to develop with Laura Youngson's IDA Sports the first-ever soft-ground boot engineered specifically for female athletes!   Seeing an opportunity to not just draw attention, but address a long-standing inequality in sports – the reality that for year’s women have played sport in boots made for men.   Bringing together Guinness's commitment to women's rugby and IDA Sports expertise in female-specific footwear, we've created a first that's not just innovative, but truly impactful.   The IDA Sports x Guinness "Never Settle" Boot, debuting at the Guinness Six Nations Rugby Women's Championship, represents a significant step forward – the firs soft ground boot specifically engineered for the female foot. Players wearing the boots during the upcoming Guinness Women’s Six Nations Championships will be a vital process of IDA’s research and development process. The insights gleaned will help inform the next iteration of boots for female athletes. We are honoured to have played a role in bringing this collaboration to life.   🔗 Learn more about this game-changing initiative: https://lnkd.in/eN9nq66q   #Ogilvy #WilsonHartnell #Guinness #IDASports #NeverSettle #GenderEquality #SportsTech #MakingADifference #Inclusion #WomensRugby #CreativeAgency #BrandStrategy

We were delighted to welcome Sims IVF to Ely Place this morning. A brilliant, insightful talk covering a variety of topics. Thanks to Lisa and the team for joining us.

Throwing it back to the end of last month when we were incredibly proud to pick up the inaugural PR Photograph Award at the Press Photographers Ireland CLG Awards. This award recognises our and Inpho Sports Photography Ltd's work, capturing the historic announcement of AIB sponsoring the LGFA All Ireland Club Championships. This was a landmark moment, as AIB became the first sponsor in Gaelic Games to support all four codes – Gaelic Football, Hurling, Camogie, and Ladies Football – under one banner. We believe photography is a powerful tool for creative expression. Together with AIB, we wanted to capture imagery that celebrated the unwavering dedication and passion of the footballers, that make these Championships so special. We're absolutely delighted that this image of Olivia Divilly received special recognition. A brilliant shot taken by Dan Sheridan of an exceptional player, who secured her fourth All Ireland Club Championship with Kilkerrin-Clonberne, Huge congratulations to Olivia and a massive thank you to AIB for the opportunity to support them on their continued support of Gaelic Games. #Photography #SportsPhotography #GaelicGames #LGFA #AIB #InphoPhotography #AwardWinning #PRPhotography #LouiseWard #KilkerrinClonberne #Gowa #Sponsorship #IrishSport

Pellador x Guinness Pop-Up We are thrilled to showcase the return Guinness x Pellador limited edition jumper that made its comeback at the Guinness x Pellador pop-up end of 2024 for one last time. For three days only in December, Guinness and Pellador joined forces to host a pop-up shop in Drew Studios. What an amazing weekend it was full of creamy pints of Guinness, Guinness jumpers and great tunes. There were queues of customers lining up to get their hands on the one-of-a-kind Guinness x Pellador knitwear which sold out once again. The atmosphere of the pop-up shop throughout the whole weekend was electric with plenty of happy faces and pints in hand. A fantastic way to end an amazing 2024 with Guinness. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2025! Check out how it went below 👇🏼 https://lnkd.in/e-rZn4yQ

Sport's Cultural Power Play: Our Key Takeaways from the Onside Irish Sponsorship Report 2025 The Onside Irish Sponsorship Report 2025 paints a vibrant picture of the Irish sport landscape, fuelled by evolving fan behaviours and a new era of engagement. At Wilson Hartnell, we see this as a further evidence of the opportunity for brands looking to tap into the cultural force of sport. Here are a couple of takeaways from our perspective: 1. Fans Aren't Just Watching, They're Co-Creating: The report highlights the shift from passive spectators to active participants. Forget surface-level activations; it's time to go deep on relevance and speak the unique language of each fan community. 2. Beyond the Big Game: While major events & live experience in high demand, the opportunity extends far beyond the stadium. Brands need to embrace the always-on conversation around sport, infiltrating the daily lives and digital spaces of fans. 3. The Rise of the Athlete-Creator: Individual athletes are now powerful media platforms in their own right. Expect to see this grow in Ireland this year. World Rugby Women's Rugby World Cup quite likely to produce Ireland's answer to the wonderful Ilona Maher! Partnering with these athlete-creators offers brands a unique opportunity to connect with highly engaged audiences and build authentic narratives. 4. Purpose-Driven Partnerships: We are long time believers in the power of sport to drive positive social change. The report underscores the importance of purpose-driven partnerships that resonate with fans' values and contribute to the greater good. The Onside report confirms what we have long believed: sport is more than just entertainment; it's a powerful cultural force. By understanding the evolving dynamics of fandom, embracing new technologies, and prioritising authentic engagement, brands can unlock the true potential of sport and create meaningful connections with their audiences. #sportsmarketing #sponsorship #fanengagement #Ogilvy #OnsideReport2025 #Ireland

At Wilson Hartnell, we believe in the power of connecting brands with their audience in meaningful ways. That's why we're incredibly proud of the work we've done with AIB, the sole sponsor of all four codes in Gaelic Games, to enhance the fan experience at this year's club finals. Recognising the importance of match day atmosphere, highlighted by our own research showing 42% of GAA fans value sponsors who improve their match day experience, we developed and activated the AIB Clubhouse at the ladies' football, camogie, football & hurling club finals. This dedicated space provided fans with a unique opportunity to connect, celebrate, and immerse themselves in the passion of the GAA. Croke Park on All Ireland Final Day is always special. The AIB Clubhouse, as home of #TheToughest, became a hub of activity, fostering a sense of community and excitement and we’re thrilled to have partnered with them on this exciting match day activation, demonstrating AIB’s long term support of Gaelic Games and its passionate fans.
