What an amazing year it has been! ✨   From getting to work on some brilliant, diverse projects with our fantastic clients, to expanding our talented and dedicated team. We had a lovely celebration of our hard work last week at a Christmas lunch in Dublin, where we enjoyed some delicious bites and tasty tipples, as well as some thoughtful gifting in this year's Secret Santa.   As we look ahead to 2025, we are so excited for what's set to be another busy and brilliant year.   For now though, we'll be logging off and taking some well deserved rest.   Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you all 🎄   #AndSmyth #CreativeCommunications Gemma Smyth Hazel Dobbyn MPRII Katie Boyle Ann Deeley Kiah Ronaldson Mia Iversen

Celebrate the season with something sensational and sustainable from Ireland’s first eco-distillery. ✨   Whether it’s their premium Clan Colla 7 year old whiskey (also known as 'Christmas in a bottle' for its tasting notes!), the smooth triple-blend UAIS Whiskey, or the juniper-led Xin Gin, Ahascragh Distillery in Galway has something for everyone to enjoy this Christmas.🎄   For the full Ahascragh experience, why not head west to explore their zero-energy emissions distillery, grab a coffee at the Old Mill Café, or savour a meal at the newly opened Clan Colla Restaurant.   Learn more at ahascraghdistillery.com, and don’t forget to check out @ahascraghspirit for Christmas cocktail inspiration!   Always drink responsibly.   #AndSmyth #CreativeCommunications #AhascraghDistillery

Sustainable Website Design. 🤝   We are proud to have partnered with The FACTORY to reimagine our online presence - one that reflects who we are today and where we’re going. From the start, the team understood our vision: a cleaner, more confident design that makes a statement but that is underpinned by our commitment to sustainability.   When we first started looking at making our business more sustainable, reducing our website carbon was on our list, and so, one of the standout moments in this journey was moving our website to The Factory’s green web hosting. This is a more sustainable way to keep our site running, reducing its environmental impact. It was these kind of important details that were essential for us when undertaking this project and outlined our shared values.🌿   Refreshing a website is more than just a visual update; it’s an opportunity to do things better. We’re delighted with what we’ve built with The Factory and excited to share it with you.    Take a look around and let us know what you think visit andsmyth.ie   #AndSmyth #CreativeCommunications #TheFactory #SustainableDesign

We all know that Christmas is the time of year to celebrate with good drinks, good food and good friends.🎄 Food is a hugely important topic at &Smyth, not only being the focus of some of our amazing clients but also being something that brings us all together. However, as communicators working to promote the agri-food industry, we also have a responsibility to encourage the avoidance of food waste, so we wanted to share some tips and tricks we’ve found.

The countdown to Christmas has officially begun, and at &Smyth, we're buzzing with festive excitement! 🎁 As we support some amazing Irish brands with their gift offerings, we’re also conscious we need to be mindful of the environmental impact of the season. While Christmas brings much needed joy, it is important to be aware that it cannot only be hard on your wallet but also the planet. According to KPMG, three-quarters of Irish adults expect holiday shopping to be much pricier this year. But there are still ways to enjoy the magic of gifting while saving money and reducing waste.💚 Our latest blog by Hazel Dobbyn MPRII is now live on the Climate Hub.
