We're hiring
|
|
|
Owens DDB is looking for a non-traditional Account Manager with at least 3 years experience to join our Client Service team. By "non-traditional" we mean that you need to be able to think and act beyond traditional above-the-line campaigns. Someone who might consider themselves a Communications Consultant - you have dabbled in DM, prospered in Promotions and could be a demon in Digital. You might even have a view on PR. A bit of everything really. If you're interested and would like to work in a challenging and highly creative environment please send your CV to: mark.hogan@owensddb.com

Colin's recent Niall Mellon Township Blitz trip.
|
|
|
Colin's recently returned from South Africa where he, along with 1000 other Irish people built 84 Houses. Apparently it was backbreaking, but really rewarding work. Most of the houses they built were right beside the shacks that they were replacing. Well done dude. We're all proud of you here in Owens.

The Lisbon Treaty
|
|
For very sound business reasons the Owens DDB Group is supporting a YES vote in the upcoming Lisbon Referendum.
The no camp are using a number of unrelated and nebulous reasons for voting no. Anyone with a basic grasp of business and economics knows full well that we are stronger if we are in Europe, playing a full and active role as we have always done.
"Lisbon" has nothing to do with our current Government. It has nothing to do with NAMA. It has nothing to do with minimum wages.
However "Lisbon" has a lot to do with getting Ireland back on its feet so that we have a strong and vibrant, fully functioning sovereign nation to pass on to our children.

Scrubs up well, doesn't he?

Congratulations to Conor Hanover who won the champagne for our 'Spec ad' creative competition at our recent away day. The mission was to devise an ad for Viagra (which, in this brief, was now available over the counter!) Due to the subject matter we're not allowed to show you the ad in question. Booo!
