We all know that Christmas is the time of year to celebrate with good drinks, good food and good friends.🎄 Food is a hugely important topic at &Smyth, not only being the focus of some of our amazing clients but also being something that brings us all together. However, as communicators working to promote the agri-food industry, we also have a responsibility to encourage the avoidance of food waste, so we wanted to share some tips and tricks we’ve found.

The countdown to Christmas has officially begun, and at &Smyth, we're buzzing with festive excitement! 🎁 As we support some amazing Irish brands with their gift offerings, we’re also conscious we need to be mindful of the environmental impact of the season. While Christmas brings much needed joy, it is important to be aware that it cannot only be hard on your wallet but also the planet. According to KPMG, three-quarters of Irish adults expect holiday shopping to be much pricier this year. But there are still ways to enjoy the magic of gifting while saving money and reducing waste.💚 Our latest blog by Hazel Dobbyn MPRII is now live on the Climate Hub.

It takes a village! 🙌   We have had the absolute pleasure of supporting AgriKids and Irish Rural Link with the launch of their new community-led programme geared toward educating children about farm safety. For this programme, a manual was designed to help primary school teachers, and members of their local farming communities, with the tools needed to co-deliver an effective farm safety education programme in the classroom with input from an advisory board made up of An Garda Siochana, teachers, farmers, community development officers and farm accident survivors.   To help increase awareness of this amazing initiative, we delivered a strong media relations campaign which delivered a total of 39 media placements and created a robust 6-week content calendar to be rolled out on AgriKids social channels.   As this was a community-led project, we concentrated on securing as many regional media placements as possible and were we’re delighted with the results! 💪   #AndSmyth #AgriKids #IrishRuralLink #FarmSafety #CreativeCommunications
