Here's why that new Dublin tourism campaign is being advertised in, er, Dublin
medikate_me medikate_me
IF YOU’VE BEEN walking around Dublin lately, chances are you’ve seen these posters from Fáilte Ireland’s new Dublin campaign dotted around the place.
They’re on the side of seemingly every bus in the city and there’s even a giant poster hanging from Liberty Hall.
But some Dubliners are confused as to why a campaign to encourage people to visit Dublin is being promoted in, well, Dublin.
After all, we’re already here, so is it not a bit… redundant?
Whoops!

So, what’s the deal?
Director of Strategic Development for Fáilte Ireland, Orla Carroll, tells DailyEdge.ie that the rebrand is being advertised in Dublin to encourage Dubliners to get on board with the campaign and, in turn, advocate the city to family and friends.
Furthermore, Fáilte Ireland states that many of the outdoor advertising locations were offered free of charge by local authorities.
The new ‘Dublin – a breath of Fresh Air’ campaign was launched on October 16th and seeks to position Dublin as “a destination where city living thrives side by side with the natural outdoors”.
