IAPI and The Marketing Society of Ireland Present 'In Conversation with Nils Leonard'

The Institute of Advertising Practitioners Ireland (IAPI) and The Marketing Society of Ireland are thrilled to announce an exclusive event that promises to reshape the creative landscape in Ireland. 'In Conversation with Nils Leonard,' featuring the renowned Nils Leonard, founder of Uncommon Creative Studio, is set to take place on September 14th, 2023.

Nils Leonard, a trailblazing figure in the advertising industry brings his unparalleled insights and experiences spanning over 18 years to the heart of Dublin. As chief creative officer of Grey LDN, Nils orchestrated a period of unrivalled success, marking the most profitable and awarded years in the agency's distinguished 52-year history. His creative leadership propelled Grey LDN to unprecedented heights, securing two Grand Prix awards at Cannes Lions in 2015 – a feat unmatched by any other agency worldwide. Over the last year Nils has led the inception and launch of the ethical capsule coffee brand Halo to global acclaim. A true challenger brand Halo was reviewed by GQ Magazine as ‘The coffee keeping Nespresso ambassador George Clooney awake at night.’ More recently Nils has founded the Uncommon Creative Studio alongside Lucy Jameson and Natalie Graeme. Uncommon is a creative studio building brands the world is happy exists. 

'In Conversation with Nils Leonard' is more than just an event; it's a transformative experience that promises to ignite creativity, inspire change, and shape the future of advertising and marketing in Ireland. As we navigate these pivotal times, IAPI and The Marketing Society of Ireland proudly collaborate to raise the creative bar for agencies and marketers across the nation.

“Just having the chat with Nils and planning the event with him was inspirational. He’s full of ideas, positivity and fun, and has spent his career refusing to compromise on creativity while still recognising that our sector needs to succeed financially”, says Charley Stoney, CEO, IAPI. “What was particularly gratifying was how easy it was to persuade him to come to Ireland. He genuinely has a great love for what we do here, and I can’t wait to hear him in full flow on 14th Sept.” David Cullen, chair of marketing society of Ireland hopes that this 'coming together' of Ireland’s extended marketing family for this event will help to put both creativity and effectiveness front and centre of all we do.
