Edelman

Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today announced that it has awarded its UK/Ireland Media/Communications business to Edelman (Ireland) after a very competitive tender process in which over 30 UK/Ireland agencies pitched to represent Ryanair.

Edelman will take over Ryanair’s UK/Ireland communications from Murray Consultants from 1st August 2010 from which date all media queries should be addressed to Joe Carmody, Director Corporate, Edelman. Ryanair and Murrays part after 15 successful years.

Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said:

“We are pleased to announce Edelman as our new media and communications agency for the UK and Ireland after a very competitive tender process involving many agencies in the UK and Ireland. Edelman will assume responsibility for all Ryanair media contacts from 1st August. We congratulate Mark Cahalane and Joe Carmody in winning this business for Edelman and we look forward to working with them.”

Mark Cahalane, Managing Director, Edelman Ireland said:

“We are looking forward to supporting Ryanair and know that the work will be both challenging and rewarding. Our team will focus on partnering in the development of Ryanair’s story, as it continues to deliver lower airfares, increased routes and a no nonsense approach to everything it does.”
