When the doors of Gibney Communications opened 25 years ago today on Merrion Square, it already had blue chip corporate clients on its books ... Greencore, The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and Arthur Cox. The firm was set up by Ita Gibney to compete with the bigger guns in corporate PR and as an independent Irish company it competed fiercely against the internationally owned agencies.

Today, the firm has a strong hold still on its share of corporate PR work, acting for demanding clients with complex reputation issues and moving into crisis situations to steer companies to safer ground.

“We have grown over the years and remained a force given our huge commitment to clients and our strong, loyal management team. So today, with a super team of young executives as well as long standing, experienced client leaders, we are fit and ready to continue to help our clients with the market challenges ahead and deal with the unexpected upheavals for reputations that the new world will bring,” said Ita Gibney. “We owe a big thank you to all our clients over the years for their commitment also to us.”
