in other words, way too many agencies and suppliers

Founded in 1999 by Ray Sheerin and Mike Garner, two of the industry leading advocates for the power of creativity, Chemistry rapidly earned its creative spurs, with a string of account wins, awards, and admiration from its peer group and marketers looking to hang out with the new kid on the block.

Although the WPP owned Ogilvy Mather Ireland had a minority stake in the agency from the outset, control rested with the two founders, who derived immense pride from the fact cheap replica handbags that it was an independent agency and way beyond the grasp of Martin Sorrell, who fake designer bags was heading up Ogilvy parent Discount Replica Louis Vuitton Bags at the time.

Within a relatively short period of time, Chemistry had raised the creative bar for the rest of the advertising industry and, down through the years, many of the sector top talent cut their creative teeth there.

Clients, past and present, include the likes of Kerry Group, Eircom, Lidl, Dunnes Stores, Irish Life, the Irish Cancer Society, Audi, Mitsubishi, Eagle Star, Center Parcs, Leinster Rugby and Fine Gael. The agency also picked up a coveted Cannes Lions award for its work with the National Newspapers of Ireland in 2006 and, more recently, Perfect Quality Louis Vuitton Replica it bagged the Agency of the Year award at the Kinsale Sharks Festival in 2019.

Chemistry untimely demise, however, 1:1 replica handbags is in many ways symptomatic 1:1 replica handbags of a wider malaise that has been gnawing away at the advertising industry for some time. It should also set alarm bells ringing for other agencies contemplating the next 10, never mind 20, years.

Depending on who you talk to in the advertising industry, there are many reasons why this malaise has set in and why the old agency model is now firmly broken.

At an operational level, creative agencies are costly businesses to run and operating margins can vary from a mere 7pc, at the lower end, right up to between 15pc and 20pc at the higher end.

cheap louis vuitton bags from china Staff costs, in particular, can account for a sizeable chunk of an agency overheads. In many Irish creative agencies, staff costs as a percentage of revenue are often in excess of 70pc.

For agencies that are part of an international network most of which have rigid group wide cost control policies in place staff costs are often between 60pc and 63pc. In a labour intensive business, the difference between the two can be the difference between success and failure.

Notwithstanding the high cost of living in Dublin and a general talent shortage, many creative and media agencies have also found themselves in a never ending battle for talent with the likes of Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. Unfortunately, it appears that the American giants are winning.

In other words, way too many agencies and suppliers for such a small market.

All of these issues combine to paint an uncertain future for the Irish advertising industry as we know it. None of these issues, however, look like they will be sorted any time soon.

Unfortunately for Chemistry, it has now joined other great Irish agency brands replica louis vuitton bags like McConnells and DDFH in the advertising graveyard.

Sadly, a bright star in the advertising firmament has been extinguished. And the advertising world is that little bit darker as a result.
