Internationalization in Irish Advertising




The School of Communications at DCU invites applications for a 
fully-funded PhD study of internationalization in Irish advertising. 
Internationalization can be understood in at least three ways:

(i)                 Ownership consolidation and expanding networks of 
agencies across the globe;

(ii)               Standardized work practices and project-based 
collaboration, and;

(iii)             The use of content (and sometimes entire campaigns) 
across national frontiers.

This PhD study will investigate the implications of these overlapping 
dimensions of internationalization, with particular regard to 
advertising agency autonomy and creative control, network power 
relations and professionalization. It will also consider digitalization 
and the broader regulatory environment.
