Two ads for TG4’s Anamnocht Documentaries bring to life the stories of Irish sports people who made names for themselves off the playing field. The ads were chosen by this month’s judges, Darragh Cafferky of Focus Advertising and Judy O’Broin of Havas Worldwide.

Darragh said: “It offers mystery that requires an answer, Did an 1879 tennis murder interest me? No. Does it now? yes.” Judy commented: “Altogether another sleek print executive served with precision for TG4.”

Thanks to both of our judges.

The team at Publicis included: Kris Clarkin (copywriter), Dan O’Neill (art director), Carol Lambert (creative director) and Stephen Bradshaw (account manager). Rianne Rusthoven at Mediavest planned media.

This ad, plus the others shortlisted, will now move forward to compete for the creative prizes at the NNI Press Ad of the Year Awards. NNI has expanded the awards programme this year to include new industry-specific and media categories. More information can be found here.

The competition for ads published in October will close on November 8th.

Entries can be made through our website.
