Convening & Connecting

We bring Ireland’s creative and communications leaders together.

We bring Ireland’s creative and communications leaders together year-round; through flagship moments of recognition and connection, from open thought leadership to invitation-only senior forums to Ireland’s most prestigious creative and effectiveness awards.

Awards

The Creative & Communications Association stands apart when it comes to awards. We represent the industry’s most important benchmarks for effectiveness and creative excellence, locally and globally as the official representative for Ireland’s Effie Awards and for Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Global and local Effie Awards

We are the official representative of the Effie Awards in Ireland, the global benchmark for marketing effectiveness. This prestigious biennial programme is globally recognised for awarding marketing campaigns that deliver business and brand impact.

Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity

We are the official representative for Ireland. We host the annual Young Lions competition and deliver a programme which brings the 7 winning national teams to compete against global peers at the Cannes Festival.

The Inaugural Communications Lecture: Exploring the Age of Intention

The Creative & Communications Association’s Inaugural Communications Lecture at Trinity’s Long Room Hub brought together leaders from communications, business and government to discuss one of the defining questions of our time: how do we build trust, connection and shared understanding in an age increasingly shaped by technology and AI?

Events

The Creative & Communications Association delivers a year-round programme of events giving you access to influential industry voices and some of the most established thought leaders across the creative and communications industry globally. We bring the industry together, with up-to-date economic analysis and trends so that your business can succeed.
