He works as a Client Services specialist in Teneo on campaigns for some of the organisation’s biggest clients including Lidl, LYONS tea and Wall’s Ice Cream.

Karleen Smyth, Boys + Girls
Senior Experiential Director with Boys+Girls, Karleen is also a co-founder of Twigged Creative a boutique events agency that provided an ideal platform to showcase her skill at events and activations.

While at LHP her accounts included Electric Picnic, Forbidden Fruit festival, Limerick City of Culture, RTE, and a long list of music gigs from Ennio Morricone to Leonard Cohen and Blur.
Kris Clarkin, Boys + Girls
Kris began his career as a TV editor and went on to become a promo producer, before packing it all in and going back to university to study motion design. Upon graduation, he immediately took the only logical next step and became a copywriter.
In the intervening years, Kris has produced award-winning work, first as a writer at Publicis Dublin and now as a Creative Director at Boys+Girls, for clients including, Amnesty International, Three Mobile, Cadbury, Digicel, SPAR, and ŠKODA.
He has opened a restaurant split between Dublin and Sydney where separated families could have Christmas dinner together, exploded Ireland outhalf, Johnny Sexton, into a swarm of butterflies, and released a song in the Caribbean, featuring Usain Bolt, that is now ‘big’ in Zumba.
Kris owns a disproportionate number of maroon coloured clothes, refuses to accept his international football career has passed him by and has to explain the spelling of his name at least once a week. He has no idea what Zumba is.
Mike Ahern & Enda Loughman, D.A.D.D.Y
Mike Ahern & Enda Loughman have been writing and directing together for over ten years. They work commercially under the name D.A.D.D.Y and are repped in Ireland by Red Rage Films. Having started as a graphic design & animation collaboration, the duo quickly moved on to direct both animated & live action TV commercials, short films and music videos worldwide. They have won many awards internationally for all of the above, mostly made of different types of metals (some are made of wood). They recently made their feature directorial debut with their original supernatural comedy EXTRA ORDINARY, which stars an Irish ensemble cast lead by Maeve Higgins and Barry Ward as well as Will Forte & Claudia O'Doherty. It was recently selected to World Premiere in competition at SXSW. Extra Ordinary will be released in cinemas later in the year. They think you should go and see it.
