About Us

Bonfire is a Creative Advertising Agency based in Dublin. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our work seriously.

At Bonfire you won’t come across people with notions about themselves but you will come across people that love what they do. We are passionate about ideas and all things creative. We hope it shows.

Whether we need to enthral or sell, convince or seduce, every strategy, every piece of design and copy starts with getting noticed.

We also offer our clients direct access to the people who are actually creating your work, this means there is less ambiguity and things can happen a lot faster. Not only that, but the whole process becomes more collaborative, which is important, as we believe we will never know your business as well as you do.

Our core focus? Results through creativity.
