The Leith Agency

We had a cracking night at The Roses Awards in Manchester walking away with 5 golds for work on Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the IRN-BRU cut outs campaign along with 5 silvers for work on Maid in Leith, Knife Crime, Cut Outs again and a brace for our SNH bee viral.

And then to cap it all we won Creative Agency of the Year.

Thank you to all involved for the hard work that resulted in a really great evening for the agency.

Imagine the scene. You’ve finally bagged yourself a date, the table’s booked, you’ve even remembered a rose (you big softie). In you stride, walking on air to be faced with…Senga. Mother of a brood of mutant weans by day, doorman by night. Gulp.

Luckily a can of BRU is on hand to get our guy through.

If the buzz on Twitter and Facebook is anything to go by Senga’s already making waves with IRN-BRU fans. You can see why for yourself…

You don’t need a fluffy tail, but we are on the look-out for someone special to join our field marketing / experiential team.

We develop campaigns for the Scottish Government and brands including IRN-BRU and Sourz. You’ll be part of the strongest account handling team in the country – but you’ll already have shown you can manage projects effectively as an Account Manager or SAM.

As well as all the classic account handler skills, you’ll need to balance working with our creatives to come up with strong experiential campaign ideas with managing the more administrative aspects of the role (journey plan, field staff compliance, reporting and evaluation).

We also work in the areas of partnership and promotional marketing, so experience in these areas would be ideal, though being an excellent communicator is essential.

But with your big ears you’ll also be a great listener to what our clients need.

Please give us a shout with your CV if this sounds like you.

It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day…

It’s exciting times for IRN-BRU. For the best part of a year we’ve been beavering away on not 1 but 3 TV ads as part of a campaign which heralds a fresh chapter in the brand’s advertising history.

Championing the idea that IRN-BRU can get you through even the toughest of situations, the ads follow a series of characters smiling their way through buttock-clenching moments such as walking in on your folks “mid sesh” and discovering your bachelor pad has been transformed into a pink girly nightmare by your deranged girlfriend.

The campaign was created by Michael “King of BRU” Kinlan and Mark “Prince of Pop” Davies, alongside fast growing creative pups Jordan Laird and Dominique McMullan.

Look out for it on TV, cinema and VOD and keep checking the IRN-BRU Facebook page for tasty digital snacks over the coming weeks.
