Location insights

Where Dublin moves

Dublin is compact and the crowds are concentrated. O'Connell Street and the Liffey quays carry footfall north and south, Grafton Street and St Stephen's Green hold the retail core, and the Silicon Docks pull a young, international tech workforce on the weekday commute. Rugby and football days reshape the city center. With a small, dense core and global headquarters packed into it, a focused hourly plan reaches both the shoppers and the decision-makers.

Retail plateau, all afternoon

Connolly / Heuston stations and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.

Evenings change the audience

O'Connell Street shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.

Location intelligence summary

One city, several audiences a day

Dublin doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.

Match the tide, not the calendar

A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Dublin’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.

Creative by daypart

Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.

Proof, not vibes

Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
