Fort Motor Group in Dublin was the only automotive retailer to claim a Gold award at the prestigious An Post Smart Marketing Awards in the Mansion House in Dublin recently.

Fort and its agency Horgan PR & Marketing took the ‘fox’ trophy for their campaign in launching the Ford Transit Connect to local businesses in the South Dublin area.

Fort Motors edged out Bryan S Ryan and Snap Print in the category Smartest Use of Admailer.ie, an online tool which allows easy and cost-effective targeting of homes and businesses within a geographic area.

Cyril Molloy of Fort Motor Group commented: “We strive to set high standards of professionalism in all aspects of our business, including our marketing, and it’s nice when the effort you invest gets recognised in this manner.”

A family business founded by Chairman Cyril Molloy, Fort Motors is 55 years in business this year. Horgan PR & Marketing was recently established by Conor Horgan.
