BBDO Dublin Celebrates Award Wins and Nomination Success

BBDO Dublin announced today that the agency has retained its Irish Advertising Agency of the Year title at the Shark Awards. Also, its VW 'Zero Carbon' billboard was nominated both as a finalist at the Immortals and as the only Irish representative at the Campaign AD NET ZERO awards.

The agency’s impressive haul of Sharks in Kinsale (in recognition of work for VW, GAA and Dublin Simon), clinched the Irish Agency of the Year title and Great White Shark award for the second consecutive year: it was also Agency of the Year in 2021. BBDO showed well across a wide range of categories in Film Craft, Radio, Digital, Ambient and Print/Outdoor, netting five Sharks and seven nominations along the way.  

The VW 'Zero Carbon' billboard, developed alongside media partner PHD, will be receiving an Immortals Skull as an Irish Finalist in the Immortal Awards, and joins finalists from the UK and German alongside the highest scoring work from the rest of the region, at the European round of judging on Friday 14th October.

The best work from Europe will then qualify for the final, global round of judging which will take place on December 1st and see the Finalists from every region compete for an Immortal Award or Commendation status.

'Zero Carbon' is also the only Irish campaign to shortlisted at the Campaign AD NET ZERO awards. The awards, celebrating the ad industry’s best work in tackling the climate emergency, will be announced in London on November 23rd.

Said Shane O’Brien, executive creative director, “We’re absolutely delighted with these continued award wins and nominations. It’s great affirmation for the entire BBDO team and particularly gratifying given the number of different clients whose work has been recognised this year. I’m really proud of the whole team and even more excited to see what we’ll do in 2023”.
