Creative Inc in The Sunday Business Post
Posted on February 23 2010
Creative Inc’s Commercial Director Niall Corcoran commentary article is published in The Sunday Business Post on February 7th, 2010.
Entitled “Brands bashed by the recession embark on their rebuilding jobs”, the piece focuses on the challenge for Irish companies hit by corporate turmoil.
“All is in turmoil and brands that have been held up as stalwarts of Ireland’s Celtic Tiger success are either no more, require serious make-over or their bones are being picked over through the many liquidations and examinerships that have occurred in the last 18 months.”
While there are many issues to be resolved the article points to the opportunities that lie ahead. “Through all this carnage will undoubtedly come opportunities for others to either acquire brands through receivership or liquidation and to revitalise and re-invigorate them, or to step into the gap that has been presented by the demise of others with a new and stronger brand proposition.”
