43 - Creatives Series: Nick Kelly Part 01

In the first of our Creative Series, Daryl sits down with acclaimed Irish creative Nick Kelly — filmmaker, musician and award-winning copywriter — to explore his career. We dig into his philosophy on creativity — why the best ideas are accidents you don't understand until years later, why fear kills ideas faster than anything else, and why immunity to rejection is one of his super powers.  And Nick talks about some of his adland campaign highlights working for brands like Guinness and Irish Ferries Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios [https://www.tinpot.ie/], Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiLI38Lb16Qk5QwanOAQIA] 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter [https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7457856941084643328] If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie

42 - Roy Keane, High Expectations, and Sky's Bold Bet

In this episode of the Irish Marketing Podcast, Daryl sits down with Caroline Donnellan, Director of Marketing and Brand at Sky Ireland, and Shane Doyle, Head of Strategy Brand and Creative at Core, to pull back the curtain on one of Ireland's most talked-about advertising campaigns. They reveal how Sky's entry into the crowded Irish mobile market led to the 'Expect More' platform, why Roy Keane was the only person who could bring that idea to life, and why the strategy came long before the celebrity. This is how to use borrowed fame in the right way — not just for recognition, but for relevance.  Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios [https://www.tinpot.ie/], Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiLI38Lb16Qk5QwanOAQIA] 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter [https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7457856941084643328] If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie

41 - Emma Kelly on Elevate Turning 25

What does it take to build a PR agency that lasts 25 years? Emma Kelly, founder of Elevate PR, joins Daryl to answer exactly that. Starting out in 2001 with clients like PlayStation and Reebok, Emma has navigated every major shift in the communications landscape — from the internet era to 4G, the influencer gold rush, and the rise of TikTok — while keeping her agency deliberately small, sharp, and client-focused. In this conversation, Emma gets candid about the talent erosion she's seeing in marketing teams today, why she hires for attitude over credentials, and why being physically in the office together is still non-negotiable for building great people. She also reflects honestly on what it means to be a woman in her mid-fifties running an agency in an industry that hasn't always valued experience Presenter – Daryl Moorhouse Sound Engineer – Sean Byrne 🎙️  Recorded, edited and mixed at Tinpot Productions Studios [https://www.tinpot.ie/], Dublin ▶️  Subscribe to our Youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiLI38Lb16Qk5QwanOAQIA] 📰  Subscribe to The Irish Marketing Podcast Monthly Newsletter [https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7457856941084643328] If you've got a story you'd like to hear featured on the Irish Marketing Podcast, let us know via pod@tinpot.ie

40 - Ringers Creative: Solving Proper Problems

What does it take to build a creative agency around genuinely hard problems? This week on The Irish Marketing Podcast, Daryl sits down with Miriam Hendrick and Bobby Burns, the principals behind Ringers Creative, for a wide-ranging conversation about agency life, culture, and what it really means to do good work. They dig into the concept of the 'proper problem' — why the brief on the page is rarely the real brief — and how that philosophy shapes everything from pitching to hiring. Miriam and Bobby also open up about their recent competitive pitch win with Donegal Catch, a brand so embedded in Irish culture that even naming it conjures its most famous line. The challenge now? Building the next chapter. There's also an honest conversation about ego, culture, and why their no-dickheads policy starts at the hiring stage. Plus, Bobby's 14-year side hustle in lawn mowing makes a surprise appearance.
