TOTEM design new brochures for Louis Mulcahy

Colin Byrne | Creative Director

There aren’t many Creative Directors outside Dublin who can claim to have won the Grand Prix Prize at the Irish Design Effectiveness Awards.  Colin can.  In fact, he’s the only one who can.  As TOTEM’s founder, Colin is no stranger to this type of success.  In the eight short years since setting up his design agency in Dungarvan, his energy and enthusiasm have allowed TOTEM to grow into a multi-award-winning concern with an enviable client list and a team of talented and passionate people.  Mind you, with 12 years in the industry at well respected agencies in Dublin, it was always going to happen.  Colin’s eight years at Public Communications Centre, a not for profit advertising and marketing agency with high profile clients such as Trócaire, Save the Children, Oxfam and Amnesty International, gave him a broad range of experience, whilst four years setting up the creative department at Winston, a well respected DM agency delivering creative for American Express, CIE Tours, HomeBond, ntl: and Superquinn was the perfect proving ground – and a real life rehearsal.

Colin is a graduate of Waterford Institute of Technology with a National Diploma in Graphic Design and Communications.
