Buoyant market draws firm south

BOUYANCY in Ireland’s advertising market has attracted Co Down firm Walker Communications to Dublin.

It has opened an office at Lower Pembroke Street on the basis that more firms want an agency with an all-Ireland reach.

“The office will give us a permanent presence at the heart of Dublin,” said managing director Peter Walker.

Walker has identified significant growth opportunities as the economy continues to perform well and more firms look for service providers who can do work on a North/South platform.

The Co-Down based agency says it is bringing something new to the market which it hopes will allow it to further develop in client base.
