Telecoms dominate radio lists

RTE has announced its top 10 advertisers of 1999

RTE has announced its top 10 advertisers of 1999. Predictably, multinationals dominate on television with Unilever, Master Foods and Procter & Gamble taking the top three slots. On radio things are reversed, with Irish companies dominating the top 10. Telecom Eireann/ Eircom and Esat/Esat Digifone are numbers one and two with Unilever, Bank of Ireland, the National Lottery, Independent Newspapers and Irish Permanent next in line.

A £1 million (€1.27 million) campaign to promote the Independent Directory starts this week on radio and outdoor, with Irish International handling the media and a small new agency, The Marketing Department, handling the creative side.
