our mission
Buck & Hound is a multi-award-winning creative and hard-working PR, social, design and events consultancy based in Dublin.
We are dedicated to championing businesses through impactful tactics and enthusiastic service that rivals the big PR’s.

We collaborate with our clients and trusted partners to create energetic, strategic and engaging campaigns that drive measurable results.
what we do
public
relations
We know and love the media and content creators with influence. We understand how to package and tailor a story correctly ensuring that it is as compelling as possible. The way we plan, implement, report and measure success is specific to the needs of our clients. There is no cookie-cutter approach here.
social media
Community management is a natural extension of public relations. We are always on, always listening and love to spin a good yarn. We understand the context of your business and how to pitch it to different audiences creating engagement and dialogue that builds relevancy and trust.
branding
First impressions are everything. A strong brand teamed with a great offering is a recipe for success. Let us craft your story before we even start to shout about it ensuring ease of brand recognition and a unified presence from the outset.
events
Whether it’s virtual or in person, the single greatest way to build awareness and grow relationships on behalf of a brand is to allow those with a voice to experience it for themselves. Events envelop and include. They create loyalty and excitement. Here at Buck & Hound, we bring brands to the right guests with the right tone at the right time, every time.
INFLUENCER MARKETING
While knowledge is still power, we have entered the Age of Curation where real influence now comes from the ability to answer a basic human need – how do I do better?
To sort through an abundance of information and communicate it in a way that adds value allows the free market of human choice to adapt and thrive. The rise of the influencer isn’t shallow or insignificant, it is vital to every business. Understanding that, we work closely with Ireland’s most authentic influencers creating meaningful brand touchpoints.
Sustainable Choices, Everyday
Buck & Hound is a glass bottle using, keepcup sipping, desk plant watering, green commuting, recycle loving, paperless office. We know we’re not going to save the planet, but we make small conscious decisions every day to do our part.
Our ethos guides us to partner with brands that share our commitment to improving the world for future generations.

what they say
When you work with an agency or a consultant there has to be a feeling of trust and confidence that they are working for your interests and to deliver a best in class piece of work – always going the extra mile. That’s been my experience of dealing with MD, Claire for the last 5 years!
Eoin Cruise – Senior Leader within Mobile & CES
Buck & Hound has a deep understanding of how we, as a business, operate. They play to our strengths and negotiate our challenges supporting us as we build on a diverse brand offering through creative thinking, excellent organisational skills and strong media relationships. I continue to recommend them to my peers. Top class.
Paul O'Grady – Commercial Manager at Mercantile Group
Following a rebrand at Kilkenny, we needed to rebuild our consumer strategy. Taking on Buck & Hound was a key ingredient to the brand's success and the relationship directly impacted growth in sales and reforming consumers’ perceptions. The innovation and creativity brought to the table along with the collaborative approach to campaigns made Buck & Hound an essential part of our team. One meeting with Claire and her colleagues and you’re hooked – their expertise are second to none.

You might be wondering about the genesis of our name? The company was founded in 2016 by PR consultant, Claire Buckley. She found herself freelancing part time, mostly working from her home office with her trusty pooch, Stella, by her side.
Over the course of a few short months her client base had built to a point where she needed to expand rapidly and so Buck & Hound was born – a homage to the humble beginnings of what is sure to continue to be an exciting adventure.
Dublin born, Claire has been in the industry for decades having worked across every sector. Together with a dynamic team who share her love of fashion, technology, food and culture the company has gone from strength to strength.
The ethos of the business is simple: To create a nurturing and exciting environment that produces work for incredible clients that we can all be proud of.
