Who We Are

We are one of Ireland’s leading full service PR agencies specialising in consumer and lifestyle public relations. Offering a fully integrated approach to traditional, digital and social media campaigns, with activation, measurement and evaluation.

Burrell has built a reputation of consistently providing excellent service to each of its clients which includes internationally renowned brands, some of which have been with the agency for many years.

Established 30 years ago with 6 full time staff and a number of contract specialists, Burrell is proud to be the Irish representative member of SERMO.

SERMO is a global network of independent communications consultancies built on relationships, not ownership.

Made up of 16 independent communications agencies, with offices in 28 cities, across 25 countries working across consumer, B2B and corporate communications, digital and content, events and experiential. We start with the commercial objectives and not the communications plan because we know the first informs the second. We make decisions. We ensure we deliver results: efficiently, effectively and creatively. Importantly we are accountable because this is personal for us.

We are a community. Deeply connected to our local markets and each other. We’ve met each other. We know each other. Like each other. Share with each other. We are connected in our entrepreneurial spirit and tenacity, and we keep each other connected by our sharing of global and local intelligence, while leveraging global best practices to partner with global brands.

Rebecca began her career in Public Relations over 25 years ago, having founded Burrell Marketing and Publicity with her mother, Patricia Burrell.
One of the first clients on the portfolio was Pepe Jeans, which was a successful launch pad into the Fashion arena, leading onto winning a number of international brands over the years, including Tommy Hilfiger, Boohoo.com, Nasty Gal and more recently Karen Millen, Coast and Oxendales.
Winning the Jameson Whiskey account marked her entry into the drinks industry, going on to work on a number of significant brands including Grace 0’Malley Spirits and Wayward Irish Spirits.
Rebecca and her progressive and close knit team enjoy working together on a diverse and eclectic client base.
