Carlow SMEs get chance to win €25,000 ad package
The competition is open exclusively to Vodafone Business customers who operate as small to medium-sized enterprises
SMALL and medium-sized enterprises across Carlow can win significant international exposure through Vodafone Ireland’s latest national competition, which could see local businesses advertised at the Aviva Stadium during Ireland’s upcoming rugby matches.
The telecoms giant has launched its ‘See Your Business Pitchside’ competition, offering two winning SMEs over €25,000 worth of media exposure each. The prize includes the chance to advertise at the Aviva Stadium during Ireland’s home games in the Autumn Nations Series against Australia and South Africa.
With more than 50,000 fans expected to attend the fixtures and broadcasts reaching both domestic and international audiences through RTÉ and TNT Sports, the competition represents a significant opportunity for small businesses to gain global visibility.
Joanna Gilfoy, director of Vodafone Business, said the initiative was part of the company’s commitment to supporting Irish SMEs.
“As the connectivity and technology partner to many Irish businesses, we're proud to further champion them through initiatives like our ‘See Your Business Pitchside’ competition,” she said.
“For many past winners, this exposure has led to growth and new customers from across the globe. It's just one of the many ways we support SMEs to help them thrive in today’s connected economy.”
The competition is open exclusively to Vodafone Business customers who operate as small to medium-sized enterprises. Previous winners have included JANDO, Lotts & Co, The Farmhouse, SOS Cookies, and Hazel Mountain Chocolate.
Winners will receive pitchside and digital screen advertising during one of the home matches, two VIP tickets to attend the game, and an exclusive invitation to the team’s Captain’s Run event ahead of match day.
Entries for the competition opened on 18 August and will close on 19 September 2025, with winners to be announced during the week of 22 September.
