Haribo at The Tall Ships Race

Daria — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:04:17 +0000

It was a weekend to remember for everyone who came! Dublin Tall Ships Race filled the city with excitement, stunning views and thousands of curious visitors.

Haribo just couldn’t miss this great event, so we helped to gather the best team and send fun loving brand ambassadors along with Goldbear to add some sweetness!

By the end of 4 days Haribo managed to give away 90,000 packs of jelly heaven and win the hearts of every young explorer met on the way!

Goldbear got nearly as much attention as The Tall Ships did!

“Top Gun” for Moldova

Daria — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 10:00:20 +0000

Last Tuesday 7th August 2012 Dublin’s social army joined forces with mobs of movie fans to raise money for Outreach Moldova. Sarah Cotterell of Giraffe The Agency & Krystle Nightclub created this fun high profile event to raise funds for her trip in August with Outreach to an orphanage in Moldova.

Sarah was supported by many friends and colleagues, names included Emily McKeogh, Conor Buckley, Karena Graham,Grace Fox, Dillion St Paul and Caitriona O’Connor. Close friend Paul Byrom was not due into Dublin until later in the week for his National Concert Hall gig but jetted in early to show his support.

Outreach Moldova (ORM) is an Irish charity that was set up in 2000 in response to a worldwide humanitarian appeal to assist children living in an orphanage in eastern Europe. ORM work with children and young adults in the Republic of Moldova that have been abandoned or orphaned, children with disability and children with chronic and terminal illnesses.

We’d like to wish Sarah best of luck in her brave endeavor!

Haribo ‘Sweet For Sour’ Campaign

Daria — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:49:19 +0000

It is not an easy task to trying to bring out everyone’s inner child, but when you’ve got a giant golden bear, fun loving & enthusiastic staff, not to mention lots of free Haribo Tangfastics, everything is possible.

Over thirty different locations that included Dublin Zoo, Hamleys, and the RDS Toy Show we managed to put a smile on the face of every child we met, not to mention their Haribo enthusiast parents.

Thank God It’s Friday!

We are all looking forward to the weekend here in Giraffe but not as bad as Brian who has been to the “Hell and Back” last Sunday! Let us share little video with you of what it was like! Believe us it’s worth watching!

Doesn’t it look impressive? Well, look at our hero who has managed to raise over €1,000 so far for his charity Laura Lynn’s House – Children’s Sunshine Home.

Well done Brian! It’s time to enjoy couple of days off, so have a great weekend everyone!!

Wonderful Time of Year…

Daria — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:21:43 +0000

You know Christmas is here when you put your tree up. This year we decided to decorate the office by putting up a digital carousel of quite magical and certainly unique Christmas trees on our reception screen! So sit back, relax and embrace the spirit of Christmas with us!

First up a London tree made entirely of Lego! It’s 32 feet tall and consists of over 600,000 Lego bricks! Amazing!

How about a Christmas tree made of 1,000 bottles of Heineken? Sounds like a dream doesn’t it?

Perhaps ladies would prefer our next next tree, this giant is made of deliciously smooth chocolate! You know you want a piece of it! We do!

This Christmas tree is made out of lights only! It could probably be the brightest tree in the world! What do you think?

Fancy a game of Pacman? Here is an awesome retro tree in Madrid!

A Christmas tree in Sydney made of recycled bikes. It certaily looks cool!

Finally, what a Christmas without a Santa? Well, more the merrier, we think!

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year when people gather to show their appreciation for each other and food of course, glorious food.

“Food, Glorious Food”!! You’d think we’re talking about roasted turkey with cranberry sauce, well you’re wrong! Watch this ad and see if you want to spice up your menu this season!

But if you still decide you want to cook some turkey let’s hope it will be as delicious as the Meijer one.

Can you imagine Robert De Nero dressed as a turkey or perhaps an Eagle? Watch Macy’s ad to see if you can spot him!

HTC Rhyme Launch

It was a night to remember at the recent party we ran for the launch of the HTC Rhyme at the O2 store on Grafton Street, Dublin. Over 200 people came along to the launch of this beautiful handset which is available exclusively in the plum colour from O2.

Plum cocktails were served on the night with the first 50 people receiving a HTC Rhyme goodie bag. DJ Her provided background tunes and the HTC girls were on hand to provide demos of the handsets.
