The annual Taste of Dublin festival took place last weekend in the Ivy Garden, and despite Mother Natures best efforts to ‘dampen’ our spirits, it was a fantastic weekend – a bit of rain has never come between the Irish and a good party.

Lindt chocolate created quite a stir at the event with a 54m² Lindor Chocolate Zone. The bespoke Lindor Pick & Mix stands drew in chocolate lovers from all corners of the gardens – visitors could choose from 8 luxurious Lindor balls to make their perfect Lindor Pick & Mix.

Giraffe the Agency created the bespoke Lindor zone, and had plenty of Maîtres Chocolatiers on hand to make sure that the weekend was a big success.

After a keenly contested tender we’re delighted to announce that Giraffe The Agency has officially been appointed to run Bord Bia’s new digital crowdsourcing initiative.

According to Mark Skinner who headed up the agency team that won the business: “We’re delighted that Bord Bia have selected Giraffe The Agency to handle their crowdsourcing strategy. Crowdsourcing gives organizations a fantastic opportunity to really connect with people and ideas and input them back into their business in a positive way. We’re really looking forward to creating this digital platform for Bord Bia and using it for the benefit of the food and drink producers they work with in Ireland.”

The appointment is with immediate effect and the first crowdsourcing project for a Bord Bia partner company is currently being developed.
