- Ford EcoSport submitted by Today FM
- HSE for ‘THINK’ Campaign submitted by Carat Ireland
- Liberty Insurance for GAA 15 for 15 submitted by MediaWorks and Today FM
- Vodafone & Electric Picnic ‘Follow the Feeling’ submitted by Today FM
The shortlisted campaigns for Sports Sponsorship of the year are:
- AIB for GAA Club Championship #TheToughest submitted by Rothco
- AIG for Dublin GAA

Sport for Business members Coca Cola, Heineken, Liberty Insurance, Ulster Bank, Eircom, Special Olympics, Bank of Ireland, BT Ireland, AIG and RTÉ have also been shortlisted in different categories and we look forward to seeing many friends and colleagues at the event in the Doubletree Hilton Hotel where there will be an audience of over 300 and we understand, a little bit of improv comedy around the sponsorship scene from the stage.
You have been warned…
