Final Fundraiser!

amykelly — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 10:08:01 +0000

So we have one final fundraiser left – the auction of this beautiful African Lady painted especially for Owens For Africa by David’s Mum, Dolores Hoctor. This original piece is a poignant reminder of both the sadness and pride of east Africa. In an aged timber frame and measuring 500mm x 400mm, this original one-off would grace the walls of any residence or office. We are accepting bids on this now and anyone interested can mail their bids to; mark.hogan@owensddb.com. Please also pass on this link to anyone who might be interested – can you help us break the €10K mark?!

Butterkrust is Back!

Tidy your kitchens, polish up your butter knife and get your bread bins ready – Butterkrust is Back!! Johnston Mooney & O’Brien have re-launched the original round-top family pan due to popular demand. The campaign is supported by in-store POS, TV, Radio, Outdoor & Press but there is little doubt in our minds that Butterkrust will fly of the shelves – especially if Mrs. Connemara herself keeps making those delicious sambos!

Owens For Africa Scores €4000 for Trocaire

amykelly — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 13:45:18 +0000

Our 5-a-Side in Pembroke Wanderers ground on Friday 9th was a huge success. The Irish Times beat the Sunday World in a hotly contested final. In total the event raised €4000 and we’re now up to €9678. So a big thanks to all the companies who took part. At the end of the evening there were calls for this to be an annual event. And a big thanks to the three main organisers – Dave O’Kane, Donal O’Dea and Adrian Cosgrove. And to Emma, Sinead, Niamh and Paul who helped out on the night. Paul refereed a few games making it very relevant that Refs should be sponsored by Specsavers – he didn’t get the final.

Auction For Africa

amykelly — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 08:41:50 +0000

Our Boardroom Auction included a fine collection of music CDs donated by 98FM, some not so fine wines leftover from the summer BBQ and most impressively, 4 members of the Management Board.

Donal O’Dea fetched a not so creative €30 – with a bottle of plonk thrown in. Our FD, Seamus Fennessy got a decent return of €69. Noel Martyn was bought by a media consortium for €138. And Mark Hogan made €180 – all male bidders.

Our thanks to John Gildea, our Auctioneer, who actually bought Donal and Mark. And to Simon McAleese & Co, our solicitors, who made a very generous contribution.

Banking on a good performance…

Many thanks to Noirin, Vincent, Lynn and all the Marketing Team at KBC for raising an incredible €876 to sponsor Conor’s and Mark’s 10km/20 laps of Fitzwilliam Square. A book sale, Bake-a-thon and a coin collection, as well as a generous single donation, contributed to this lofty total.

And to our own swimmer Ciaran O’Driscoll who raised an aditional €300 via sponsorship from family and friends.

Owens For Africa – This little piggy went to auction!

amykelly — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:27:53 +0000

Another day. Another fundraiser. This time involving baked goods. Amy was very generously sponsored by Johnston, Mooney & O’Brien to create this chocolate mud cake piggy bank. The cake was then auctioned in the agency and after a fierce bidding war he went to a very good home for the princely sum of €118.43. So a big thanks to Johnston. Mooney & OBrien & all our auction bidders!! Stay tuned for more fundraising efforts this week…

And huge thanks to Quinn Direct for their generous sponsorship of Colm & Ciaran and likewise to Sigmar Recruitment who sponsored Bridget’s swim and Dalriada who sponsored Ruth.

SKODA Airport OOH Campaign

amykelly — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:35:38 +0000

We are delighted to announce that SKODA has just launched an exciting OOH campaign in Terminal 1, Dublin Airport. The reason that we are so excited is that this is advertising in its purest form – a great idea executed effectively. The campaign centers on decals depicting the rear of a SKODA Superb Combi placed on the entrances to baggage carousels. The message that the SKODA Superb Combi has the biggest boot space in its class is delivered in a very unique and clever way. In fact, as soon as SKODA’s Marketing Manager was presented with the idea his reaction was – “Say no more. Brilliant idea – let’s make it.“
