CASE STUDY CULTURE NIGHT DUBLIN

BRIEF
CultureHead was selected as the company to develop and implement a strategic Public Relations campaign for Culture Night Dublin, the annual nighttime celebration of Irish Culture. The brief was to maximise awareness and engagement for the event with a key priority of attracting new and diverse audiences. The programme consisted of 200 participating venues, and more than 250 in-person and online events across the city and county, as well as a number of specially commissioned artist projects. CultureHead worked on the project alongside multiple stakeholders and cross-functional teams including MOS Arts Management, Dublin City Council and the Arts Council of Ireland.

APPROACH
We anchored the campaign around 3 core elements: creating awareness of the event with a high-profile launch in the national media.
Creating consideration of the programme by leveraging the profile of our Culture Night ambassador Ola Majekodumi across multiple media platforms.
​
Converting audiences into attendees of the event with the targeted promotion of selected events and a strong call to action at each touchpoint within the media.
