Ford Ireland ― Ford 100
Overview
To celebrate Ford’s centenary year in 2017, we created a brand identity and campaign that ran throughout the year. The campaign was a reflection of the past 100 years, but always with a look to the future and the role Ford would play. We even had esteemed Irish-American actor Aidan Quinn star in our film content as a nod to Ford’s family connections both in Ireland and the USA-. As a result of all this locally created content, Ford achieved the number one vehicle brand status during 2017.

Ford Ireland & Quercus ― Talent will out
Overview
During Ford’s centenary celebrations in 2017, they announced a five-year scholarship with the UCC Quercus Talented Students Programme. Quercus is Latin for oak, from which we developed a strong brand identity. We unearthed the fascinating tale of two soldiers who fought on the frontline during WW1. One survived and found an acorn in the jacket pocket of his deceased friend. He brought this acorn back to plant in UCC and that same oak stands tall on the campus to this day. Through film, digital, recruitment collateral and merchandise we created a very successful sponsorship campaign.
