About CultureHead
The Arts & Entertainment Agency
Founded in 2016, CultureHead is an Irish communications agency working exclusively with the creative industries across arts, entertainment, and commercial creative brands.
Our work spans RTÉ documentaries and Sky Arts programmes, immersive experiences for world-renowned animation studios, and large-scale temporary events including Culture Date With Dublin 8 and The UCD Festival.
If you live in Ireland, you've probably seen our work without realising it.
For the past five years, we've led the marketing for Culture Night Dublin, the nationwide celebration of arts and culture run by Dublin City Council and the Arts Council of Ireland. Our most recent campaign, for the September 2025 edition, reached over 100 million people and delivered €6.5 million in media value for our clients.
We've collaborated with photographer David LaChapelle on projects including Daphne Guinness's music video Heaven (produced by Tony Visconti) and the film Revelations. We served as the European partner to Elton John's Rocket Management on the rollout of augmented audio technology PEEX during the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, and we work with Festival Republic each year as curators of the ArtLot and GlowDepot stages at Ireland’s largest music festival, Electric Picnic.
Closer to home, we're proud to partner with many of the leading cultural organisations and heritage sites including CoisCéim Dance Theatre, Butler Gallery, and Wexford Arts Centre.
We operate fully remotely, which means our experienced team works with the agility to move at the pace culture actually moves, without the overhead of a traditional agency model.
If you have a story worth telling in arts, entertainment, or culture, we’re here to help you reach the people who matter most.
