This Father’s Day, Moonpig Ireland is searching for Ireland’s No.1 Dad, an everyday hero whose support, humour and love deserve national recognition.
As part of its biggest Father’s Day campaign in Ireland to date, Moonpig, known for helping people celebrate life’s biggest moments through personalised cards and thoughtful gifts, is inviting people across the country to nominate their dad, stepdad, grandad or father figure who has made a lasting impact on their lives.
The winning nominee will become the official face of Father’s Day in Ireland, appearing in a major Moonpig campaign running from 15th-18th June across digital billboards around Ireland.
One deserving dad will even feature on a special edition Moonpig No.1 Dad card, turning an everyday Irish father into a nationwide Father’s Day star.
As well as earning the bragging rights of being crowned Ireland’s No.1 Dad and becoming the face of Moonpig’s digital billboards across the country, the winner will receive the Ultimate Dad Hamper from Moonpig. Packed with some of our best-selling gifts and treats, it includes favourites from iconic Irish brands, including Guinness, Cadbury, Keogh’s, Irish Socksciety, Born & Bred, plus Moonpig favourites like No.1 Dad Balloon and mug.
From the dad who never missed a match, to the grandad who always shows up, the stepdad who became a best friend, or the father figure who quietly supports everyone around him, Moonpig wants to hear the stories behind the people who make a difference every day.
Moonpig will also bring the campaign to life at Taste of Dublin from 11th–14th June, where festival-goers can visit the Moonpig Hangout, take part in Father’s Day-themed activities and competitions, and submit nominations for Ireland’s No.1 Dad.
The winner will be revealed on Monday, 15th June, ahead of Father’s Day celebrations, before taking centre stage in Moonpig Ireland’s nationwide campaign.
