About
Joe Dobbin, Paul Myers and Conor Kennedy, an art director and two copywriters, opened Javelin above
a sweetshop in Leeson Street
on May 1, 1986.

In other words, just in time for the last time things were as bad as this. In still other words, we know all about operating in a recession.
Today, we live in a converted warehouse in the city’s old markets’ district, in Smithfield, and we still believe in the concept of a full service agency. One that does its own thinking, planning, buying and production. One that merges media and creative for synergy. That is what we are. We are also Ireland’s first direct marketing specialists, and one of its leading digital strategists.
Today, as on day one, what distinguishes us is creativity, and that means people. Exceptional people. We have more than our fair share of them, which may well be why our clients tend to stay. To each of them, we’re not suppliers. We’re partners.
