10 Sustainability Stations

SSE Airtricity is the Official Sustainability Partner to Dublin Zoo and we are delighted to be looking after their brand sponsorships in partnership with their Sponsorship and Marketing team.

Since the partnership began, we’ve organised and managed two events per year in Dublin Zoo that highlight the importance of sustainability in everyday life. The first of 2019’s events took place earlier this summer, where we created a family friendly event that is not only fun for kids of all ages, but educational at the same time.

In addition to this full event set-up, we organised and managed 10 sustainability stations dotted around Dublin Zoo on the ‘Eco Explorer Trail’ and at Haughton House.

‍45 Irish Rugby Players

As Lucozade Sport’s sponsorship agency, we at Ripple Marketing are happy to help with their sponsorship of the IRFU and all Irish Rugby teams. We are delighted to play a key role in helping keep the Irish Rugby teams hydrated with Lucozade Sport.

The highlight of the year? Hydrating all 45 players involved in the men’s Rugby World Cup pre-season training squad. We then followed the lucky 31 players selected for the World Cup itself as they embarked on the road to Japan.

263% Account Growth

As part of our marketing partnership with Dun Laoghaire – Rathdown, we developed a three-part video series aimed attracting visitors to the area through powerful visuals.

We carefully planned, created and launched a unique video series to utilise across social media, with Facebook and Instagram Ads, as well as YouTube, through Google ads, which resulted in 500,000 impressions, 270,000 video views and a 263% account growth.

560 Dublin Mountain Climbers

For almost 15 years we’ve been looking after Lucozade Sport and their sponsorship clients. This has continued throughout 2019 and earlier this summer we worked on one of their marquee sponsorship events – The Barretstown Dublin Mountain Challenge.

To ensure brand awareness throughout the Dublin Mountains, we had branded hydration stations along the entire route to ensure all 560 participants were hydrated and fuelled with Lucozade Sport to overcome the demanding Dublin Mountains Challenge.
