A few members of the Rothco crew spent three long, busy weeks creating this ad in the South of France in the picturesque towns of St Paul de Vence, Frejus and Valbonne. They were all a bit tired once they finally came back to Dublin. But we think their long nights and busy days were well worth it…

Our campaign for Hailo Toronto has officially launched! This is only the beginning…

Front Line Defenders – the International Foundation for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders - was founded in Blackrock, Dublin in 2001 with the mission of protecting people who work, non-violently for any or all of the rights declared in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They provide support through international advocacy, financial grants, education, and a 24-hour phone line operating in Arabic, French, English, Spanish, and Russian.

Here at Rothco, we’re proud to work with such a meaningful and world-changing organisation and we’re delighted to continue our seven year relationship with FLD. The work below was created recently for the upcoming Front Line Award for Human Rights Defenders at Risk. These pieces individually showcase the six finalists for this award; Mam Sonando, Mansoureh Behkish, David Rabelo Crespo, Biram Dah Abeid, Ruth Mumbi, and Bahtiyor Hamraev. Click here to find out more about these finalists and share their stories.

The winner will be announced at a ceremony in Dublin on Friday 3rd May 2013.

Today, April 26, 2013 is this year’s Special Olympics Collection Day in Ireland. Over 4,000 volunteers will be out in 200 Irish cities and towns to shake buckets in support of Special Olympics Ireland. If you see one of these brave souls out and about on this lovely Irish morning, please consider reaching into those pockets!

All the funds collected today will contribute to the Special Olympics’ mission to provide a supportive and encouraging place for the intellectually disabled to participate in sporting events. If you’re not out and about today, you can donate online or over the phone. Check out www.specialolympics.ie for more information.

Here’s a little ad we did to promote Vaccination in Ireland supported by Pfizer.
