Judges comment: Murphy’s has wisely focused their energy in winning back consumers in Cork. Out of home is the ideal medium for this vital, but specific challenge. This campaign is a master class in outdoor design – strong simple image and brief captivating copy. In what is normally an art director’s medium, the posters are meticulously and tactically copy-written.
