Feehan Communications has worked on the Jeans for Genes since it’s inception in 1994. We work alongside the fundraising and advertising teams to engage a broad cross-section of people through their preferred media with catchy, consumer friendly messages centralised around a particular day and a ‘get involved’ call to action. The service has provided a return on investment that would make a banker blush.
