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.

We are passionate about ideas and all things creative. But it has to be creativity that works, which explains why we have been so successful in winning effectiveness awards. In fact, no other creative agency has won more Irish Effie Awards for non-profits than Bonfire

But we’ll never know your business as well as you do, so that’s why we’re big believers in collaboration. Actual collaboration, that is, not the sales pitch kind. We offer our clients direct access to the people creating your work; this means there is less ambiguity, and things can happen much faster.

Our core focus? Results through creativity.
