Our First Television Advert is now Live

6th December 2019 by Michele Leave a Comment

For the past 15+ years we’ve advertised online, in print and on radio. We’d always wanted to do television, but for a variety of reasons it simply never happened.

Now it finally has and here’s our first ever television advert which is running on Sky TV in Ireland. We’re using their programmatic advertising platform called “Ad Smart” so unless you fit the “persona” we’re targetting you won’t see the advert. It’s an interesting system which you can read more about here.

It’s one of our clients who has been using our services. It’s not a paid actor and it’s totally real.

One of the key things I wanted when we were working on the brief for this advert was to emphasise that getting online and running a business online can be done from anywhere. As long as you have a decent internet connection then there’s no reason why you cannot have an online presence. None.

You don’t need to be a geek. You don’t need to be a skilled designer.

All you need is an idea and a bit of time to set up your online presence.

And we’ll even give you the domain name for free!
