Alan Who?

The problem with advertising in Ireland is that it's a small world.
The population of the entire island is slightly under 6 million, and most of the larger agencies are in Dublin.
Larger agencies in an Irish context means anywhere there's more than 35 employees.
And there's probably no more than eight or nine places that big. Though there are plenty of really good smaller outfits, doing good work.
Which means that it's a relatively incestuous business. Everyone knows everyone else.
And strangely enough, there aren't lot of Alans. In fact, off the top of our collective heads, we can only think of one.
So we would like to categorically state, this blog has nothing to do with Alan Kelly, CD in Cawley Nea.
Nor any other Alan. Or Alanis.
